I do fully understand what is involved and the process of change. I guess I came across as looking for a one line answer in the post. I guess its hard to answer vague questions without seeing the video of the swing. Thank you for the information though I appreciate it. I would like to learn more about the pivot. Alignment Golf is amazing but I feel like they don't go in depth on the pivot. How the hips move and turn, weight shift etc... Heres a question. Assuming you are at a good top poisition(backswing) When doing the slight lateral weight shift to the left do you then start to turn(rotate) your hips out of the way(or is that wrong) ? Is it the foot/knee action sequence that moves the hips out of the way? I also see so many tour players with their hips very open at impact. Then I hear that your not supposed to open your hips that much on downswing. (causes spinning/pulled shots to the left). For my own swing I would like to work more on my pivot and understand it better. Thanks for taking the time this site has helped me a lot with questions.
