aorry ringer, but you really over complicate things. and you assume this would work for everyone. but it proberly wont. some people need more centred hips, where your rigte hip kinda moves towards the target, whereas some need more a move over the right hip

[RingerDaMan]

Twisting the hip is the biggest FAULT I see with the hip action and you would prefer it for some people? You MUST get your weight off the back foot, but if you try to twist as you're advocating, you'll never get off of it and eventually develop a reverse pivot.

definately get your weight off you front foot. not everyone needs to get more behind the ball. keeping the centre of the base of the spine more centred will help them stay on top of the ball. i dont like to keep weight on the front foot. on the downswing, as the left hip clears it will also slide forward. again it is totally dependent on the players needs

[RingerDaMan]

Can you show me an example of a professional that finishes with his weight on his back foot?

Finding this explantion was a eureka moment for me. I new from early on how important the hip action was and completely digested Hogans five steps, took it literaly (I'm thinking now about his analogy with the elastic band pulling the left hip back) and of coarse came over the top. This makes it clear and for that I thank you.

I have had problems in my downswing for years, this is the first tip that I think sets everything clear and simple enough to start practising it having a clear image of what i should do. I still have to work on it, but man! get an A+ for the explanation and the simplification. I'll tell you how it is working!

You need to make an instructional DVD. Your tips are some of the most useful around. Keep it up.

And if you do, include tips over a few holes on a course including strategy and technique variation according to situation as most DVDs don't include that sort of thing.
