I wish I could report good results from my lessons, but they didn't help me at all. The instructor was nice enough but I was unable to accomplish most of the things he asked me to work on, which is why I'm back to figuring out things for myself. I can't afford to try a different instructor.
I'm trying to imagine the handshake thing...seems to me that by the time my right hand is back that far it should be a lot higher than handshake level. Am I missing something?
As for weight shifting in the downswing...the whole downswing lasts about a fifth of a second. How is one supposed to make weight shifting adjustments in that time?
