I still don't see how turning the hips is the key to get me there though.

1. You don't have "Hip Action". You need Hip Action. This new procedure will give it to you.
2. You start your downswing by lowering your left heel. This is straightening your left leg, maybe preventing a weight shift, but definitely it's causing your right shoulder to stop moving down-plane and causing your right hip and shoulder to move out (toward the Plane-line) and over the top.

As you begin practicing this procedure, you'll soon learn infinitesimal control of the Hip Turn and direction of the turn. You'll soon notice and learn how to control the Hip Turn to comply with the requirements of the #3 Pressure Point. You'll soon wonder how you ever played golf without it.

I want to make 100% sure than you mean turn from the start rather than slide?

Look at the Pictures below.

Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer are using "Standard Hip Turn".





Yes. Standard Hip Turn is the normal Procedure for Hitting and Swinging. See Chapter 12. If you want to use a Sliding Hip Turn, it requires a "SLIDE" in "BOTH" directions.

The standard Hip turn does move the hips from right to left while the Hips rotate. Simultaneous.

10-14-A STANDARD The Standard Hip Turn (of any length) is a free turn in both directions with a weight shift in both directions. During Circle Path Delivery (7-23) use the Turning Hip to carry the Right Elbow around into a Release position for a Trigger Delay Control procedure (7-20).

Also isn't the whole idea behind being a 3 barrel hitting to get rid of the pivot?

No. Where did you get that idea?
