When I met with Yoda we discussed this very issue. He told me that we would go get legal pads and make a list- him with left heel up major winners and me with not. He rhetorically asked me whose list would be longer? Even dumb ol' me knew that answer! I have kept my heel on the ground for years and still struggle with it. However, when I do it AND maintain a steady head, and turn the right hip straight back from the target line, the stroke feels so free and the ball goes much farther. In fact, Lynn and I talked about this very issue- right hip clearing- yesterday on the phone.

I have a similar issue.
I also have heard many instructors say the pivot will pull the left heel up.
For me, this will never happen.
What I am doing is allowing the left heel to rise to facilitate the right hip to turn back. The feeling from the MacDonald drills has directed me in this action.
I coud be way off base here but that's what I'm doing.

Hi M. My left leg is 1.75" shorter than my right. That and the artificial hip make me feel as if I am climbing a small hill when I let my left heel rise but the BALANCE is possible with a solid TRIPOD as a full turn is made. FLEXIBILITY IMPROVES WITH THIS EXERCISE AS DOES CLUB-HEAD SPEED AND POWER. THE FLAIL MUST BE TRAINED. I can now, after one week, stay very steady over a ball and let my left heel come way up!

Good to know, I was curious to know whether you need special adjustments to your machine.
