Compensation for back pain
I'm working through some lower right back issues and have found something that allows me to swing pain free.

One thing I've discovered is if I setup with my right foot drawn back about to the middle of my left foot, I can swing relatively pain free. While the feet might appear closed, I am still keeping my hips and shoulders square to the target line. Kind of similar to Hogan's stance in the West Palm Beach video.

I'm wondering if there are any compensations I should be making because of the setup I'm taking? For now, I'm just "digging it out of the dirt" and can hit the ball pretty darn well this way. I guess if I have a miss it tends to be a hook, as you might have guessed.
