Please excuse the enclosed picture stolen from another golf swing school of thought. It depicts my problem perfectly. When I look at the swing sequence of YODA, or any great player past or present, I see extension of the spine as in the picture on the left. When I look at video of my swing, I see the picture on the right. I am still looking for a "puke" smilie.

For someone using pretty much the basic hitting pattern from the 6th edition, what are some "feels" that could help me get back to the proper mechanics of the picture on the left?

I'm ashamed to admit the fat guy in the striped shirt is me.

Thank you in advance for any help and ideas.

I can relate to your picture as I have a similar body type. I have to flair my front foot because of a severe footballknee. The flairing does restrict my rotation back somewhat but the tradeoff would be hanging back. I am able to stand on my front leg without pain but have to avoid any twisting of the knee.
