    I had a hard time doing the hip thing. What happened was starting the swing with the arms. Now I start my swing by literally attacking with my right shoulder to the ball and just ignoring the club, hands, arms. The effect is, the hip is pushed out of the way, it just has to anatomically, the right elbow comes in before the body and you get in a position where you can give it smack with the right side. So yes for me it is a start with the upper body the thing that is said to be a nono. Its really just an approach from the other side to clear the hips. Worth a try. I love it.

    do the hipslide by attacking with right shoulder, some find it easier. Try it it also presses the hip away just passively.

    Well the head of the pros looks quite steady in the horizontal movement. I just want to emphasize that swing in a barrel and steady head can harm your swing especially if your swing is already good.

    I have held my head still for 30 years of golf. I know have two known and good pros who allow me to move the head. One directly tells me to not restrict head the other tells me to bump the hips and ignores may head sway to the front. I gain 2 clubs on launch monitor. Keeping the head still makes me turn in a barrel, keeps me from bumping left and costs me yardage. Right knee goes out right elbow stuck behind, right heel lifts early, legs don't cross in back view. Holding the head in one position forcefully can very much restrict your swing.

    Sorry, edit, no chart say 2"
  6. Peter_b
    None, no chart says add 1", I just feel it could be a bit more than 1" as the chart says. 2 is exaggerated of course but I was thinking of trying at least with one club. If Ping says upright 3 then I wonder what plane they want me to swing on. The club gets steeper, its harder to set the wrist and do the takeaway as the angle between the club and arms almost vanishes and the th swing will get steeper. I cant see how all this is good. Also bending 3 is a lot couldn’t a club or two snap? WUTiger there are fitters here and I am in Bavaria. Just no one to trust and bad experience with one of them.

    Now I remeasured myself and I am 180cm the calculator says that’s even 5 foot 9, The 37 stays as it is, so yeah call me Rex. OK so new shafts, like the idea more than extensions. Now I play S300 shafts in Mizuno MP 69. Before I played Dynamic SL true temper shafts. I like the heavy feel at 38" 5i. Now a 39" or 39.5 inch 5 iron could really be a brick? What is recommended for long club short arm? Fitter I dont know any I would trust. Most want to sell clubs.
  8. Peter_b
    OK, I was testing setup with different clubs and my legs straightens more and upper body leans gets steeper at 39" for the 5 Iron so its an inch an 1/4 more. Is that OK with an elongation or do you recommend new shafts?
  9. Peter_b
    With 5"8 and long legs short arms (tyranosaurus type) 37" wrist to floor I thought standard clubs would be OK. Now this forces me to bend my knees too much, I can turn badly, clearing the left hip is really hard and the grip end is forced too close to me. My spine to club angle is about 90 degree. Now I took an old 1" longer club and looking at the spine to club angle it is still not much more than 90°. When I look at Rorys or Tigers setup the spine is to club is somewhere around 110° at least. Still no fitter would tell me to take 2" longer clubs according to the tables floating around the net. Here is me forced into position by a standard PW: I will make them 2" longer this week when I get the elongations to glue in and post a new picture.

    Yeah In the whole swing I let subconscious work but I check to things like a hawk. Head position and weight left foot and left heel.
  11. Peter_b
    I did too. 2 clubs to be exact. Did you manage to keep your head in place as that is the hard part in dramatic shift and jump.
  12. Peter_b
    A lot of people have the problem to get into the rock skipping slot, me included. To rock your head and spine left like you show as the second option is a big No-No. I found with a friend, hi John, that the knees are not the easy way doing it. We prefer to start from the ground up and really go for the weight left early to the side of the left foot and then to heel of the foot all before impact. The knees follow. You know you are in a good position if you can pull hard left as you like. Whatever pull left means as its just a feeling.
  13. Peter_b
    That is quite the point, you can do it or you can not, its incredibly hard to learn and there are 50 yards buried there. I am still not sure what makes it so hard to do a motion that sounds easy. push left + put the weight on left heel + right knee to left toe and push up straighten the legs. Timing? Something that makes that motion impossible like starting with the arms even just a bit? Whats the killer of this motion?

    I just registered to say that this is the best explanation I have ever read. Thank you!
