Feel like I am on the right track.

Feel like I am on the right track. To me, feeling like the right arm stays above the left (like it is in end of takeaway) is helping to reduce the deep and flat swing, still reverting back though at full speed so more drills needed haha. I don't know if i am really struggling or if this is the natural reaction but the more i focus on really powering the swing from my left leg and hip (feeling right now is to feel i push from the left hip in a way that sends my club slinging quiet shallow through impact as a natural reaction) the harder i feel my right side obliques work. It feels like something i am out of control over. The more my left leg pushes back, the more my right side oblique and abs work down the target line and i really dont feel as much in my left obliques at all. Is this just the natural way muscle structures in the body work in tandem or do i need to train at isolating the left side pull. The feeling when i do that is that i just don't get my core turning. I guess for me, to turn my core left i use my right side muscles to do that naturally and if i would like to turn it right i use my left side muscles to do it naturally. Am i just doing it wrong?

Both sets of muscles will be working. You may not feel the lead oblique as much due you have trained it for awhile and have desensitized the engagement. That however doesn't mean it isn't working. You are more than likely feeling the stretch in the trail oblique due to the lead pulling it around. Pulling the caboose sort of sensation. I don't feel crazy lead oblique because I have performed for so may years. I usually only feel glutes, but I can notice my opposite sides stretching while swinging in response to thee pulling effect.
