Lead hip/side pain with more S and T ish swing

[westcyderydin]

I am in the process of working on more of a S and T or Foleyish swing with more shoulder tilt, more weight on front foot, etc.  I have only been able to work on it inside since theres more than a foot of snow outside, but i think it will work out well.

Is there any reason with this new move that my left (front) upper hip/lower side area seems to hurt?  There is a lot of pressure in that area during the swing so i think i might be doing something a little off.

Now once the snow clears i plan to get a new video up, but does this sound familiar to anyone?  what are some things with a S and T ish swing that can cause this?

You could try opening your feet up if you haven't already. However, I haven't really run into this problem, so I can't be of much help.

There shouldn't be any difference in hip stress with S&T; versus any other swing.  Sounds like it's your hip flexor or outer ab area from your description.  Have you been shoveling a lot of snow lately (I have)?  You may have stressed the area during other activity and feel it when you swing.  Try ice and stretching to relieve the pain.

I have this pain not from SnT, but well before because one leg is a tad shorter than another and I aggravated it with long distance running, tennis, golf, etc..  But not during playing, after and only if I over do it in terms of activity.

The soreness is from the side of my back, i think it might be called the back joint and then around and down towards the hip.  I think it has something to do with doing something incorrectly while bending over more and turning with my weight forward.  i guess ill figure it out though.  i just wanted to see if it was anything common when making this type of adjustment.  thanks
