That's fair, I guess I have my expectations set from other sports and games where a small number of big things done right takes you to a competitive level very quickly, and I guess these are the things I'm looking for with golf.
Sprinting, rowing, and powerlifting all have a basic premise of "push instead of pull, don't leak energy, and eat/sleep like a baby". With golf I really want to find the same sort of thing - a few intuitive principles that I can fine tune later.
Right now I'm very confident in my backswing, and I know that keeping loose and "whippy" is critical, but I have effectively 0 intuition for my downswing that I can lean into when I lose my groove. I *think* the engagement pattern is similar to what would happen if you tried to toss a sandbag, and I can certainly generate a ton of power using that, but it's not optimal. Is there some kind of smarter guiding principle I should be using there?
