Pnearn, you are so right there! I really feel like I've unlocked this mystery in golf! For 10 months I've been practising and trying all sorts of variations and swing thoughts etc. It really is a combination of a few things I think - I took 2 lessons recently from a local pro and borrowed a few books from the library (one is called Knowing Your Swing and the other is the all-so-crucial Modern Fundamentals of the Golf Swing). I tell you, it has changed everything. I have just about 4 swing thoughts now when I do the backswing, and have no thoughts whatsoever in my downswing

Suddenly, some things really seem to make sense, like restricting your hip turn. The funniest thing I just realised this morning while looking at myself in the mirror. I developed this feeling of really keeping the head and my hips dead still, but guess what, my hip has actually turned 45%, exactly where it's supposed to be! So I don't even want to think about previously when I THOUGHT I was doing a 45% degree hip turn! And another revelation, with that "dead" hip, I now realise that my knees are kept the same distance apart! And again I don't want to think what they were like before heh heh.

Gree is right, my pro told me the exact same thing. Tilting the head links to a reverse pivot. And I always thought I was doing a good job of transferring my weight to the right leg - I guess I was wrong, again

Thanks guys. I am beginning to think this head turn/tilt might not be a major issue. I'll need to try it out and see how big a difference it makes. Basically I'm making sure my left shoulder goes under and behind my chin on the backswing. Maybe would be good to hear your swing thoughts on these particular areas?
