Feel the lead hip bumping out about an inch to an inch and a half at address and keep it there in the backswing.
Question: Is this Reverse K position supposed to be accomplished by a slight thrust of the hip forward, like a tiny body check? This is what your words suggest. Or is it done by tilting the upper body to the rear, which is what the link you posted suggests. The two are definitely not the same. With the hip bump method, the head stays in the same position relative to the ball; the tilt method moves the head further behind the ball.

Having tried both now, the hip bump feels more balanced and seems to work better. And for me, based on my limited trial, it works better too. But I'd like to know how it's supposed to be done.
