Air,
Basic motion is like beginning to learn to walk or to swim or to ride a bike. It is probably the single most important drill you can do to arrive at striking a ball in sweet spot and getting to the point that you can count on it. Yoda says 2 feet back and 2 feet forward. 4 feet. No more than that. Anything more will just put off your improvement for a longer time.
Last winter in the basement I would do 5 sets of 20 and be lucky to come up with 10 that felt the way I wanted them to.
BE PATIENT.
Basic motion is the foundation of all things good in golf.

I realize that the basic motion is the stepping stone to the G.O.L.F swing, but I'm unsure how it in itself stops someone from coming OTT. There must be some missing links. I'm afraid that a whole winter only with basic motion in itself doesn't get rid of OTT. But who knows...? (Actually I know who knows..)
