Once your body is ahead of the club it is hard to achieve any accuracy or distance. A large turn is not necessary to get the club behind your body and out of position. Thinking of a triangle formed by the arms and club and keeping the triangle in front of the chest has helped me and now I am trying to get more "proper" wrist action rather than less.

Good post. For a feel of how to do, see my post on this thread:
"Keeping left arm straight and straightening right after impact".
I can't help but think you are not connected if you have to work on hand/sternum relationship Ehien. If not sure, glue, not squeeze, BOTH armpits (upper inside arm and upper torso flesh), allowing no movement of that flesh. Keep the triangle stable and you should be increasing in distance. Do modified push ups and other activity with a boulder sized marble in each armpit without dropping. Swing with the armpits then, keeping the triangle stable. You will feel the power of that stable triangle as the power arm straightens close to impact. As a result of this, the "elbow pit" of the target side arm, as indicated in a previous post, will be facing up at you at the top, and you should feel as if the shoulders are "pulling back" in the opposite direction of the club c-force.
