Thanks for posting @xsv345 .  I'm not at my home computer now, so I don't have Analyzer to show you the lines.  You are shifting your weight back on the backswing and this is causing you to have to shift it all the way back on the downswing.

Check out this thread.

It will help you keep your weight centered and make it easier to move your weight forward at impact.  The shift back may also contribute to your head dipping at the top of the backswing.

I respectfully disagree with @ Boogielicious on this one.

I think your problem starts with your head (doesn't it always!). It looks to me like you're dropping your head substantially on the backswing, then moving it forward on the downswing. This can lead to a lot of issues.

I would start with focusing on keeping your head still. For some clues there, search "Steady Head" on this forum.

Yes agree with @boogielicious , hips are sliding back instead of turning. @xsv345 check out the centered hip thread and this one.

The head moving is just a result to what is occurring in @xsv345 's pivot.

I stand corrected! :)

Ok wow. It is now obvious that my hip turn is a big problem of mine. I appreciate the replies and I have checked out the threads you all suggested. So I really want to start working on fixing this and my question is, are there any drills to practice to improve a centered hip turn? Anything that I can go and do out on the range that might naturally help fix this besides flaring the feet out and imagining my right hip pocket moves toward my tailbone? Again, thanks.
