Matthew, thank you for your detailed post! It does clear up plenty of fog for me.

Now we know that straightening the legs increase slant of the hips in that particular direction.

Say, if we use Standard hip action, the hip would have more slant throughout the swing. and after impact, the slant brings the plane/CF more UP ( from up and left)

In the case of Left Anchor .. The hip have slant on the back swing but more FLAT on the post impact bringing the plane more down and left.


A Left Anchor will give the Plane a more Up effort in upswing and " DOWN" effort in the downswing. thus more beneficial since the center of the plane is below the left shoulder . Thus the club, body should allow CF to bring the Thrust/bottom of the plane more "down " longer. Also, a flat hip turn in any direction have a "tendency" to move the weight , the torso and head in that particular direction. ( thats where the hula hula comes in and of course i said it too simply for you Matthew but you know what i mean.)

I feel the left anchor does help me so strike the ball better ie. better compression.

Though Standard feels more solid balance wise and helps to keep the head back and down.

So.. do you think I am doing it for the "right" reason?
