2) the heel of my trailing foot raising during the downswing too soon.

Observing several pros' swing dtl and reading other TST posts I noticed that this is related to my right knee moving toward the ball too much causing me some early extension and occasional shanks with wedges. All big players seem to move the right knee toward the position occupied by the left one, while left side clears, without crossing the line from toes. I think this allows maintaining the distance between the ball and the center of mass unchanged.

I am going to use this mental images for next DR sessions:

a) having a low hurdle passing over the toe of my foots, which is knees-high, and then trying to swing avoiding the knees touching the hurdle during DS. Something like this:

1) flipping during impact

b) After the impact, from A9 to A10, my head and shoulders should still be tilted toward the ball like the last picture of Pieters dtl above. I will think of me draining sea-water from the right ear. This should help keeping required side-bend and not to flip during impact; anyway, I think that a) should automatically reduce flipping as well as a) and b) are linked aspects.

Let's see.

Just put an alignment stick outside your right foot and point it up toward your right knee.

Good observation. We work on people's trail knee going out to the ball too much all the time.
