I've been told to get the hips moving in the backswing. I have been starting the swing with the lead shouder/side in combination of dropping the right hip (rightie). It does get the hips moving. After years of holding my hips, thinking I was coiling, this freeing up the hips feels really weird. So, far with no good results. Should I stick with it? Cheers SG

I'm not sure what you mean by "dropping the right hip"?

Sorry, guys. I should have said, "I have been starting the swing with the lead shouder/side in combination of turning the right hip".  It feels completely different since there's no resistence in the backswing. But, the hips are moving. Do I have to get used to this and just synch up the timing of the backswing better? Thanks, SG.

Impossible to say, really, without video.
