Has anyone here ever heard of jumping (not literally jumping, but more like pushing off the ground) to kick start the backswing? I went to the range today and had the best session I've EVER had. By pushing off the ground through the arches of my feet while simultaneously turning my hips, it tosses the club back perfectly. I don't feel my arms at all, I just feel the weight of the club head gliding up, giving me that "weightless" feeling to the top of my backswing. I'm going out tomorrow so hopefully it translates on the course.

Sort of like Kenny Perry, or more pronounced? If it works for you, great. My guess is that it affects your tempo and rhythm in a positive way. You get a more flowing motion, which the body responds to in a more natural way.

It's not like Kenny's, his is pretty evident. I had my friend watch me closely because I didn't want it to be noticeable and he said he it looks like im making a regular hip turn. My levels from my head to my knees don't move up at all. It feels like a quick pump action that is synced with my turn. It's an interesting move that's gonna take some getting used to, but I think its' gonna work out.
