Thanks MikeO.
This post wasn't for my swing in particular. A friends. I do fully understand what is involved and the process of change. I guess I came across as looking for a one line answer in the post. I guess its hard to answer vague questions without seeing the video of the swing. Thank you for the information though I appreciate it.
I would like to learn more about the pivot. Alignment Golf is amazing but I feel like they don't go in depth on the pivot. How the hips move and turn, weight shift etc... Heres a question. Assuming you are at a good top poisition(backswing)
When doing the slight lateral weight shift to the left do you then start to turn(rotate) your hips out of the way(or is that wrong) ? Is it the foot/knee action sequence that moves the hips out of the way? I also see so many tour players with their hips very open at impact. Then I hear that your not supposed to open your hips that much on downswing. (causes spinning/pulled shots to the left). For my own swing I would like to work more on my pivot and understand it better.
Thanks for taking the time this site has helped me a lot with questions.

Mac, study and practice the MacDonald Drills. Please do them in front of a full-length mirror and "LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!" as Homer said in TGM. There is a thread BAmBAM was good enough to recently put up and it has all your drills.
That is Zone 1 and Zone 2 training. Your Zone 3 hands must become "educated clamps" so find the videos Yoda posted on my thread or his stickies and watch me learn the correct grip, Mid-Body hands, TSP and Standard Address. Practice these things daily.
TGM is so effective because it is a bio-mechanical meditation on golf swing technique.

ICT,
Yes, Osama Bin Laden AKA 12 Piece Bucket is dead! I've worked directly with the CIA and key White House personnel over the last few years to track him down and accomplish the task. Update: It was not a woman that he used for a shield but a goat.
Thanks
Rumor has it that 12 Pc Bucket has been placed in protective custody (in Jail again). The Judge said that he'll be released when the Animal Rights Activists stop protesting. The word "Goat" was mentioned but not the word "Shield". However, my sources say the Goats name was Sheila.

Was it a female goat? Was it a "doe?" Her name was "Sheila?"
OBL apparently pulled a woman in front of him when staring at the Navy Seals. What a leader!
I'm sure Bucket was at the Cuscowilla Waffle House and there was a goat with a
pink ribbon! I'm glad Bucket is alive and I'm sorry people misunderstand his relationship with Sheila. He ordered her the ribeye for those taking notes and a big salad. I thought it was very kind and loving!
