Believing what you say, and depict so well, is true, my front shorter (by 1.75")left leg and longer right leg leaves me really screwed-up to make a normal golf swing.

The shorter front leg means I have lots of down but not lots of finish swivel?

Possible solutions:

1) Make my right leg my anchor and turn around my knee as I swing
(and play the ball back a bit to get some semblance of the Arc of Approach?)

2) Shorten my clubs by an inch and 3/4 to balance the imbalance?

3) Can I just drive my right arm straight down while choking down on my clubs (JerryG suggestion)?

4) Kevin had me opening my front foot angle to Pivot more easily, but that puts a lot of pressure on the artificial hip which is not a good long term solution, but what if I stand side-saddle and use the right longer leg as THE POST to swing around?

5) Do I pretend I'm playing off a permanent down-hill slope and bend my right knee a lot and choke up on the club?

It seems like the more I RFT and EA, the better my stroke. When I really widened my stance in a Moe Norman imitation and turned around my knees, I had my best competitive round ever, shooting an 84 and crushing every shot except my driver.

I'm open to suggestions since this is something I have puzzled over for 10 years!

Thanks, D!
