I switched to a bigger hip turn and smaller “x” factor two years ago and wish I would have done it 20 years ago. I’ve maintained or slightly increased my clubhead speed and my swing is more repeatable. It took me most of two years for the change to become automatic but at age 53 I can go out and hit 300 balls, play 18 holes, and repeat it the next day with no sore back. Before I made the change I was having to take a day off of hitting balls after a long range session the previous day.
BTW, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back at age 28.
