1. Pivot. My old "turn" was to turn my shoulders back and load up my right leg with about 90% of my weight. This was causing me to go inside and sway. My new pivot is to start with more weight on my left side and to let the left knee dip a bit. There is still a good bit of weight on my left side at the top - much more than before. I used to think this was a reverse pivot but Yoda convinced me otherwise. This is going to allow me to get the club in a much better position.

How many people turn the shoulders the incorrect way?. Thus a bad pivot.
As many people that can't return the forearm to the place where it started at address. Thats how many.
It happened to me until I got the correct feel of the turn. Grab a club and place it on your side (righty golfer - grip handle on your left side. Now set up and put your hands on the shaft and down towards the club head. Now make a shoulder turn while keeping the side of the club still attached to your side. Once you get that feel of the shoulders and pivot (yes it feels like a reverse pivot) you now have a solid foundation to build on........
