Shouldn´t that advice also include the hips?
One has always been taught to let the hips lead the downswing.
However, I have recently found that letting the hips be left at the top and whipping the right arm through from that position gives a unprecedent booster to the armswing. Am I all wrong?
Get that sucka out the way...thrust coming through!
That preturned hip is key! You gotta get the hip (artificial, arthritic, or otherwise) out of the way. What floors me about that very simple adjustment is that it is a very common sense approach to the pivot. A lot of people have difficulty with maintaining a stationary post. If it ever occured to me to preset my hips on a full stroke I would not have had the strength of courage to do so, afterall who else does that? What a lemming! Homer Kelley gave me the courage to develop my very own stroke pattern. I wonder who gave Hogan or,Trevino that courage? Who would have thunk that you could hit a fade with a closed clubface (at address?) My favorite way to hit a "little cut in there" is to angle hinge one starting with the closed clubface. I used miss a lot these shots way right because I started with an open clubface. I did not even know that there were three hinge actions. Blithering on....I will stop...now...
