A good place to begin is with a heavy club and your eyes closed. That will show you if your hip motion (or lack of it) is causing you to fall off balance. Hold your finish, with your eyes closed, and picture the shot you want in your mind.

When you can swing with your eyes closed, holding your finish until 'the ball lands' - chances are your pivot will be in a decent condition.


Beyond a balance issue, I'd have to see your motion.
