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?

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
