something I noticed this weekend regarding running out of right arm. Make sure you are not sliding the hips on the backswing. I actually keep the right side of my foot slightly off the ground to make sure I turn and don't slide. If you slide to the right, you've effectively taken yourself further from the ball and it can be difficult to get back. Just a thought..
The hip action is slide-turn in the backstroke.... it is very crutial that you do this....
Just maintain the stationary head and keep the balance inside the feet as you do this....
I would just like to have it spelled out for me, really clearly and in good detail. I keep reading things that just do not match up. Or maybe I misread them, because the language is not clear.
And everytime I tinker with my hips based on what I have read somewhere, I screw it up. Last time I tinkered with my hips I hit 2 weeks of fat shots, till my pinky knuckle turned purple and swelled up beyond belief. Finally, using a broomstick and wailing on the ground with it for about 2h, I worked out that it was the hip action causing all the fat shots and not a hand action.

Hard to sound like a warrior when the pinky is the culprit. I still feel your pain.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

As humourous as it is for a 200+ lb guy to be complaining about a pinky but the hand was so sore that when I rolled over on it in bed it would wake me up like someone had hit me with a hammer.
