Am I on the Right Track?

[Maverick]

Well, I'll get right to the chase.  At impact should my right hip be almost perpendicular to the ball and club?  I was having a problem with feeling stuck, so I forced myself to actually try to impact more at right hip perpendicular to ball and iron at impact..I even visioned to hit impact when the right hip and right butt cheek were perpendicular to ball and iron at impact...and I was probably hitting the best shots in my life at the range.  It almost felt like I was hitting behind, but my lip and body were almost facing the target..maybe facing around 12-1 o'clock position..ba;ance felt so good..and great trajectory.. I dunno but this felt so goood..  Is this what you better players feel?  Just curious

Like hips wide open at impact? 

Also, feel aint real. You could be doing what you feel is right, but might not be what your seeing in your head. Can't confirm unless you compare on video.

Yeah, we need some clarity here by what you mean. Are you talking about linearly, angularly… what?

PGA Tour average is about 40° open with the pelvis (hips) at impact.

This isn’t the easiest picture to see the pelvis rotation because it’s not quite dtl. 

For @Maverick I’m not sure I’ve ever felt my hips being that open at impact. It’s usually a result of something else happening. But feels are feels too. We are all going to be somewhat different.

I spent today helping a golfer get from the blue image to the gold image:

What type of things did you have them focusing on to make the change? Was their a conscious effort made to turn the hips more during the downswing?
