How does someone learn to use hip acceleration? For so long I've used arms and shoulders to power my shots that I can't ever get the hips involved and if I do I come over the top. How do you train your self to let the swing happen with the pivot?
Take your normal Backstroke and at the Top and take your RIGHT HAND off.
Now, 'do' your Downstroke.
Without your hips getting involved i.e, a slide parallel to the delivery line per 7-12, you will experience a right elbow collision with the hips per 7-14 - which of course your body will not allow.
What happens then is that you will "round house" per 7-13 which of course leads to throwaway.
From the Top without your right hand on the club, slide your hips parallel to the target line [whilst still maintaining your stationary head and balance (check the glossary) per the 1st and 2nd Essential and 1-L#1/2] and pull with the left hand down and out on plane.
Per 6-G-0, educated hands can compensate for off line pivot and hip motion up to a certain point only.
