That was mainly why I came here, help on how to get the hips moving before the upper body. I find it extremely difficult, and based on where my top position was before Stryker helped me out, it was near impossible. Obviously I'm going to continue working on this. Rome wasn't built in a day...I agree with razaar...same swing with some new sensation that feels different, but that happens to everyone who is trying to break a habit. Still all upper body. Check you your position at impact (below) vs. Couples. You don't have to be in the exact position like Couples, but check out his hip rotation and he hasn't hit the ball yet. If I were you, I would start working on rotating your hips and the club travels down following the rotation. Try feeling like there's a club attached to your right pocket and you must rotate the right pocket to hit the ball. Plus, work on absolutely relaxing any muscles/tension from your grip through your shoulders to the point you feel like upper body is feeling like it's along for the ride based on lower body turn. You're not going to like the feeling but you'll start to get used to it if you keep working from the bottom-up.
Thanks!
