Once you have mastered the golf setup, the weight transfer, and Move 1, it is time to start working on Move 2. Typically, in our clinics and individual lessons, we focus primarily on setup, weight transfer, and Moves 1 and 3.
Move 2 is literally an inch or two of movement. It is a tiny motion, but it is how you complete the backswing and arrive at the top.
As you are learning this, be sure to continue practicing the 9 to 3 Drills, rather than worrying about getting all the way to the top of the swing. If you can execute the 9 to 3 correctly using your body, the rest of it is simply details.

So let us take a few minutes to examine Move 2.
The motion you initiated in Move 1 continues in Move 2 — that pulling of the trail shoulder blade, moving it behind your head and down into the box.
