Turning hips?

So, your knees are out of Alignment and Twisted all about and your only hope to shift your weight has been to use a stack and tilt type lateral move toward the Target to get your weight to move to drive (actually, it would Pull) your right shoulder. Why go through so much work? So much struggle?

Why not allow your Hips to turn and your weight to shift by bending your knees rather than Twisting them? That way, you can "LOAD" your Right Foot during the backstroke and turn your hips to initiate the Downswing using your right leg as a backstop (not launching pad) and your weight will shift at the appropriate time (about a millisecond before impact). See Ben Hogans book, "Five ways or something". Or, March in Place with your feet apart, knees bent and bend from the Hips. Then, your Hips will Turn, weight will shift, but your knees won't Twist. TGM.

It's unfair that you have a shorter left leg because it means that gravity will assist your weight shift and you'll be more powerful going through the Ball. You should give strokes to your competitors. When Obamacare finds out that it helps your game, they'll charge you more.

I'd feel bad if your Right leg was shorter.

Daryl's Helpful Tip: Load your Right Foot before you Load the #3 PP.
Won't turning my hips back and through simply throw me out over the Base Line of the Plane? Marching in place is simply lifting my heels- will try that but I could not keep my balance very well
when Lynn showed me that. RFT then belly button turn since I can't feel my artificial hip? or is it just planting the left heel?
