I had this very conversation with Yoda today. The hips can move first in start up and still maintain hands controlled pivot. I had misunderstood it completely. Fun to learn from the Great One!

Funny. My hips move first but I'm not trying to move them. I'm just trying to fan my right forearm and the hips take off. Whenever I try to restrict this hip movement it's a disaster so I just live with it for now. Good to hear Yoda is ok with this. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Check the book on clearing the Right Hip . . . . forget about that resistance mess . . . . if you don't get the right hip cleared in both directions. . . your hands gotta go around the hip and typically get drug out overplane . . . . check out any swing that was any good from the 50's on back . . . you see some MAJOR hip turn and some standard knee action . . . . we're all programmed to what we like to look at . . . blends nicely with what Hogan had to say here . . .
Love that photo of Sam Snead. He was so flexible he could kick the top of a door jam in his 70's but here he is with his right hip pulled way back...........and he won PGA events in 4 different decades. So much for X Factor, resistance and the flexibility it requires. If he didnt do it nobody should. Dont freeze your pivot in startup, even on short Acquired Motion shots. Basic Motion or putting is a different story.
thats a hell of a pair of strides Lee Buck has on!
MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is really great news. I'm glad I don't have to think about this right hip thing anymore. I just thought it was odd when I saw my swing on video that the right hip was the first thing to move. I am playing really well so I didn't want to address anything major in my motion so this is a big relieve. Thanks bucket and o.b.
