If you havent tried it you wouldnt believe it. I warm up that way every day. Hitting a line of balls whilst continously swinging.
HI there! I have some fog to clear up or as they would say in certain parts of the world ("Let's give our brother a hand as he comes down the aisle to see Jesus!").

When I turn my right hip, sailing along the line of the footwork thread, I feel my hip turn, which is good.

When I try to feel my left hip turn, I cannot feel that hip now made of titanium and plastic with muscles cut like so many kindergarten birthday present ribbons.
So, am I willing my left hip to turn when I turn my belt buckle/belly button/chest/left elbow/left shoulder or do a Pivot forward by pushing off with my front foot directly back?

I had a little epiphany the other night at my indoor golf league. I tried to do the VJ Trolio "secret" Ben Hogan swing and accidentally striped the ball 220 yards in the air which is 40 yards longer than usual for me.

I stepped on my right leg and straightened it until I drifted left and stopped. Then I pushed my self backwards hard and hung onto the club for dear life.

I could barely walk back to the chair after that and needed a heating pad the next day to get the plastic hip to cooperate. So my question is, if I follow Lynn's swing and VJ's swing, how do I get my mechanical part to do the wild thing to the left?

I think I understand VJ's excellent insights. "Post, drift, and Just Turn Left!"
