My Hip Turn accommodates my swing strategy which includes a Stationary Head, strong Weight Shift and keeping the Spine angle from Address to Top of Swing while allowing a very strong sense of staying "On the Ball" and keeping the Hips well inside my Stance throughout the Swing. My Hip Action is on the very strong side of Action. "The Final Missing Piece" Hip Action is a little on the weak side and basically carries the Shoulders and Power Package around to Impact.

I try to keep Zone 1 as simple as possible.

1. PURPOSE
My Hip Turn Trace promotes a straight Line Delivery Path. This is my Hip Trace. This is the Path of the Hips for almost every Pivot Stroke.
"The Final Missing Piece" Left Hip moves in front of its Address Posture and promotes a Circle Path Delivery Path.

2. Comparison
Very Different
My Hip Turn leaves the Right Leg Forward Lean at Address undisturbed until the Downstroke by only moving the Right Hip behind about 3 inches while the Left Hip move laterally only to the Right.

Weight Shift
Top Of Swing: My Trace places 90% of the Weight on the Right Foot at the Top of the Swing. VJ's puts 75% of the Weight on the Left Foot at the Top of the Swing.

I almost sit back on my Right Hip Socket at the Top. With "The Final Missing Piece", one sits back on the Left Hip at the Top of the Swing.

My Hips Turn to the Plane Line but are not physically Turned. My Hip Turn is simply the Product of Knee Bend and weight shift with no rotational effort, while "The Final Missing Piece" Hip Turn is a purposeful rotation of the Hips.


Hip Trace of "The Final Missing Piece" is below.

My Hip Trace

Interesting that, in both tracings, the left hip moves very little relative to the right hip. Don't know if there's anything significant there, but it's something I've never considered.
