Mathew Quote: "I don't think its just the downstroke hip action which is at fault... I also believe the main fault is with the standard variation which I what I try to preform is of not having enough slide prior to the turn during the backstroke.. what you think ? "

Like I said, it was just a few quick thoughts without elaboration- so in regards to your above comment/question and a little more clarification on what I was saying- I don't think that the downstroke or backstroke hip action "is at fault"- the body movements just show the faults of not moving the club in the correct manner, and not moving the club in the right manner or direction tells me that you're not loading the club in the right manner.

Loading the club at the top with the full support of the right forearm- combined with the left wrist "feeling" like it is cupped would be an excellent place to start. You've got to make it through the start down with that wrist feel remaining cupped. Both- left wrist and right forearm issues go hand in hand.
