[O.B.Left]

Nice one Andy. 10-14-B Slide Hip Turn. Hitting or Swinging in the 7th. A slight slide to shift the weight left with a delayed Hip Turn. Thats the way I do it although I try to get that little slide parallel to my hitters cross line Delivery Line, Angle of Approach before Im at Top or End with longer clubs. Trying to anyways like V.J. Trolio suggests. With shorter clubs Im pretty much just staying on my left side but doing much the same with the cleared right hip.

I had formerly thought of the Pivot as being turn, turn , turn. I guess most people do, but then most people also wonder why their swinging outside to in. Pivot to hands, roundhousing. Overly active turning can take you off plane going back or through. Mr Kelley was bang on about the Right HIp needing to be cleared in both directions which to me feels like Im not turning my hips actively through the ball at all. It just sort of happens on its own, you cant stop it really. Going back yes for sure, im clearing the Right Hip or my right shoulder is ("top down") but going down Im leaving it back. The slide is the "ground up", "swinging from the feet" Startdown move, no turn needed.

As far a lateral on the backswing, I think that Luke in his chosen pattern utilizes a little Hula Hula Flexibility in his backswing....a little lateral slide of the hips before the right hip turns back. For him its a Slide with a Delayed HIp Turn in both directions.

Lots of options, millions or is it trillions? To each his own.
