In one of Yoda's videos, he indicates that he is hitting the ball with "quiet knees and feet". This was a revelation for me. I have been hitting the ball very well since starting on the TGM path, but around late August my game just went south and I started getting back to my old OTT swing. I couldn't figure out what I was doing differently, but when I heard and saw Yoda keeping his knees and feet quiet, it got me to thinking. I realized that I was getting very active with my knees and hips in the backswing, and as a result, I was getting on a very flat plane and then I would cross the line at the top. When I focused on quiet knees and feet, I got back on the turned shoulder plane and started to hit dead straight shots or slight draws.
My question is, on another TGM forum, it has been recommended that you start the backswing with a sharp turn of the right hip behind you. I think this is what I was trying to do when my swing fell apart. So, am I on the right track with quiet knees and therefor less hip movement, or do I need to look further? My driving range game is very good right now but I don't know if it is a temporary fix or a more longer term one.
