I've read so much about resisting too big of a shoulder turn by restricting the length of shoulder turn with the hips. I have been taught that this is supposed to supply torque to the swing, by using hips to limit too big of a shoulder turn it is supposed to be similar to tightening a rubber band.

I guess I have over done it or really didn't understand what was meant. Didn't learn that here.

I had been instructed in the past to keep my left heel down on back stroke, and not to let my knee flex to far towards the ball. Taught to me in my first or second lesson actually, probably why its uncomfortable for me to lift my heel now, and I was also taught to try to keep my right heel flat until just after impact. My old body won't allow the flat heel at impact, and I found out as I learned more about the swing that I needed to have some lift in the right heel at impact, that is how I knew I was at least making some type of attempt at a proper weight shift.

Per my marching orders I am trying to READ and am searching for how to make a proper pivot. There is so much information here its mind boggling. I know a poor pivot and poor use of lower body are two areas of my swing that are really hosed!

Per Yoda's advice I will start to do it. I will lift that left heel!

Just added another reason to the million I already have to get down to the swamp to see the master!
