The door knob (not sure what he actually calls it) is thinking of a rotating a door in your right hand knob counter clockwise in the BS and clockwise in the DS. I have heard of pretnd like you are skipping stones on a pond method which seems similar to me. basically it gets you in the proper postion at the top as far as the cup and cock go which is right hand fully cupped and then cocked. Personally I prefer to cup as the 1st move for the takeaway and then cock it as I go back which if I "turn the knob" I would be in that postion up top, I just feel "too bouncy" at the top if I use MA's method.
Though I dont' think he used any "ground breaking" secrets, he does have sound advice. I mean who else hit a ball 512 yds, he must be doing something right. I never did see his videos though maybe he explains it better than some and people get it better and can relate with his method, but I don't think it is anything special. | Please explain the part I have bolded. I am a right handed golfer so to move the right hip up as a turn (turn back?) is confusing. I would think I am creating a reverse pivot. And how do I hit "against" my right hip. In the forward swing should one hit against the front hip (left hip for a right hander). You may be left handed but this doesn't make sense to me.
