I've been getting back into golf after playing a bit last year. I've recently been correcting an over the top movement in my downswing and have begun to hit slight draws that can sometimes hook. I'm mainly wondering about my hips in the backswing - they feel/look like they are either rotating too early or too much. I can't quite put my finger on it (or am probably just ignorant to it) but something seems out of place with my right hip between P2-P4 and I'm wondering if this is leading to inconsistency (I've gone from thinning the ball to chunking recently). Any other general advice is also welcome and appreciated!

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 26
My typical ball flight is: draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook

Yeah, that path is WELL out to the right.

Can you record face-on and another down-the-line in slow motion (high speed)?

    • Day 375 - Got a good session in, mostly partial swings focused on the finish, but worked up to full swings. Finished with some lag putting.
    • Day 198: went to a simulator for an hour. Played blackjack National and shot 77. Then worked on backswing stuff for a bit, and it went pretty well. 
    • Day 123 - 2025-01-31 Busy day building a website, some images, and doing Evolvr. So… some mirror stuff while waiting on some things a few times throughout the day.
    • Day 14: 1/31/25 Plenty of putting practice today - early morning, at lunch and this evening.
    • Day 11 (31 Jan 25) - Played in the Friday men’s group today.  Had some really good swings with the  Feruga shafted driver, pretty solid with the putter (not the AI One Milled but the broomstick style NMG Ab) and okay wedge game.  Was a day of up and down pars  (5 of the 6 front side pars were such).  Finished with a 40 on the front.  Then the wheels got wobbly on the back - made a mess on a number of holes closing with a 49 by trading those 5 up and down pars for 5 doubles on the back….while it was a struggle to not get frustrated, it was just a reminder that the game can spin on a single shot.
