Hows it working out? For me the right hip (ALONE not the left hip or left knee ec) turns, pulls back at the start of the swing. The right hip may pull the left knee , hip but the hight hip is boss. Its is a very conscious move. This alone can move the club away the first few inches or so it seems. This creates some room for and allows the right elbow and therefore the club to take its proper back, up and IN path in start up. 3 dimensional start up preparing us for a 3 dimensional downswing and impact , hopefully. I should also add that when combined with a fanning and pickup of the right forearm (right forearm takeaway) there is no conscious attempt to turn the shoulders. None. The shoulders respond to or are pulled along by the right arm and in so doing travel only much as they need to......the perfect amount. Hands to pivot. Weird? Ya, but simple and oh so beautiful. Pulling is better than pushing. The shoulders when driving the backswing dont know when to stop. Precision is lost. Pivot to hands. Popular but misguided.
