Delayed hip action while moving strongly over to the left side will take a player's ball striking to a whole new level. This requires rolling the right foot well before impact, with the heel leading the toe, like this:

MJ,

I'm a recent swinging convert and I have been studying the 'aiming point' discussions and practicing the right forearm angle of approach in the mirror - more stuff to think about... However, your instruction and vid above seems to naturally take care of those angles without much effort. My mind was free enough to focus on lag and PP#1 & #3. Just as you stated, my ball striking moved to the next level. Wow ! I may have to send you a bottle of wine for Christmas. Thank you !

BTW, I was feeling or seeing the ball move from left shoulder low point to front of right shoulder at impact ( head still). Of course it was the hip action that took me there but do you see a potential problem with this swing thought? It seems too easy..! Should my focus instead be on that right foot?
