I've been doing something all summer that has worked reliably from the driver on down to the wedges that has gotten me (1) far better accuracy and consistency and (2) further distance on all my clubs.  At address, i've been "pushing" my left hip (im a right hander) about a couple inches towards the target which results in my tilting my head behind the ball a bit more at address, and keeps me in that position throughout the swing to promote, if not exaggerate, that "hanging back" feeling.  When I do this specific move at address, i would say at least 7 out of 8 eight times the ball goes within 5 yards of my target, to which im thrilled at.

Does this logic make sense to anyone and to why its working, or can anyone confirm what i'm doing is correct and that since its new its just a weird feeling for me with this swing change until it become second nature?  Thanks...

I have read a lot about that being a good swing "trigger" and I think it may help, kind of gives you something to "swing at". Not unlike some who "pause" at the top. I think Ray Floyd does that a lot, if not he, then someone else of his era. Comes to a complete stop at the top, turns a little to the right, and then comes down into the slot perfectly.
