as far a learning how, i would have to see where your swing is at (how good it is) but loading the shaft makes it much easier. compression is done with the arms/ hands only. nothing to do with turning the core or hips or weight shift or legs. if this is the case then why do a lot of people on here get good results with gregs right hand drill? In his drill his objective is to take the arms and hands out of the swing and you basically hit the ball with the pivot, or as some tgmers say you wallop it with the pivot.

all about throwing the club with the arms and releasing with a late hit an lag and unloading the club into the ball You are talking about a hitting motion and not a swinging motion, most people are swingers more then hitters

to learn the arms easier, take the rest of the swing out of your mind.... do what is called a false shoulder turn and don't turn your back to the target, just left the arms up as high as you can w/o turning your back (you shoulder will still go back and appear to be turning a bit). then when at the top os BS resist the want of your club head to keep gong back and try to throw you club head directly at the ball from the top (do this by pushing your right thumb pad (actually the crease between the thumb pad and heal pad of the right hand) into the left thumb towards the left wrist) you will notice that automatically uncocks the club at the right time and with good power. that is why the swing is all about your right hand/arm. you will then feel the club head through the whole DS and feel the shaft loading and unlaoding at impact. the false shoulder turn also makes it easier to clear your left shoulder open so that you can hit the ball freely.

then once you learn how that feels you can add a shoulder turn to it and a wieght shift to maximize your resiting the club head going backactually in hitting the body follows the arms so the shoulder turn generally happesns because the right forearm takeawy pulled it. and if you fire the hips in the downswing and use hitting you should pull a lot of shots lleft. swinging is hands follow body, hitting is body follows hands
