Well, I can say this: if there's one thing that people tell me, who watch me swing, it's that I don't make a good hip turn. My instructor has said it, and skilled amateurs have said it. So I guess it's true. I find it difficult to fix, possibly because I'm NOT a natural athlete, and not used to generating power from the hips.
Years ago, when I studied shotokan karate, I had the same problem: using the hips to drive the strikes. I DID get the hang of it, but it took time.
So every little thing I can learn to make this aspect of my swing better is well worth my attention.
