Part of the problem is the old body, knees, back, and lack of flexibility. Combine that with trying to be "pretty."
I had switched to Standard Knee action in an attempt to look like Mr. Hogan. With my inflexible, short backswing, my legs didn't have time to bend at start down, and then push and straighten through follow through. My right knee was still bending through impact, and my hips were backing up exactly as you saw.Going back to Right anchor, I skip the straightening then bending procedures, and am able to get pushing from the ground properly through impact.
I also need to work on my hand path, which should get better with my improved rotation. Flaring the left foot more has made a huge difference in taking the stress off my left knee and allowing some turn. In the pic of the bad swing, it's tough to see from that angle, but I never get the shaft back on plane after impact. Chasing it BIG TIME.
Lots of issues, which you would expect from someone who really hasn't played in 3 years...
Hopefully I'll get some new pictures up next week... feeling like my old self again.
Perfect example of needing to find a motion to fit ourselves, not a model.
Make sense Bucket?
Thanks,

Witcha . . . that opening up of the left foot will let you go forward more too . . . Hogan had some pretty busted wheels too right? I'd say you could fix a lot of that off the course . . . mirror work type stuff . . . head in a door frame type stuff. You ain't gotta be perfect . . . just get lil' better and a lil' better and lil' more better over time. Rome wasn't built in a day and it takes a long time to cook pig shoulder to make it taste good.
