Thanks to all for the insight. Went golfing last week and came all so close to breaking 90; final score was a 91 on 18 at the course were I usually go to.

Your trail knee is your solution. Assuming you are a right handed golfer, you need to make sure your right (trail) knee starts on the ball-side of your right foot and it stays on the ball-side of your right foot throughout the backswing. It really is that simple.

imagine you're standing on a manhole cover and can screw/unscrew it with your feet. That's the feeling you should have in your hips. You'll feel the weight go to your trail heel as your trail hip moves back in the backswing and the opposite in the downswing.

My "trigger" is the feeling I am rolling my ankle in and the pressure into the ground is 90% on the inside edge of my trail foot. I recently saw a Chris Como video where he was interviewing Xander and his father, and Xander commented about the same feeling so I must be doing something right.

Went to the doctor and told him my arm hurt when I raised it. He told me there is a simple solution. Don't raise my arm. Wish golf fixes were that simple.

Concentrate on getting your weight to the inside of the back foot using your thigh muscle to support the backswing turn. One way to begin developing a feel for this is to put your heels together but flare your toes right and left. Hit a few balls with the ball in the middle of your stance. Make sure you get a good turn going back. If you sway it will pull you off balance. Swing easier until you can repeat the motion again and again

People still laugh at me, been around scratch or better for 30 years (with a few surgeries in there), I STILL take lessons! You have to have a plan, and a few lessons isn't the answer. A 6 month, or longer, plan with lessons/practice/fitness is how you'll really get better. Good luck!

Sounds like you and your coach are doing the right thing. My instructor does the same with me but with my hips. I generally turn the upper body well, but get lazy after about 10-12 holes and start swaying my hips back. Keep working on it.

Your hip, sorry

Hi, think of turning your right hit back of you on back swing, not sliding to the right.
Good practice

Your problem may not be a swing issue alone. You might want to investigate a TPI physical assessment. If you have a limited hip rotation and try to make a full rotation, you will have limited ability to post up on your rear leg and get separation with a shoulder turn.

Not that this is your problem, but we all can’t turn like Rory. If you are over 29, it helps to know what you can do and if there are (TPI) exercises to get you to your full potential.

Titleist posted here some tips of a group that does online work. There are other TPI instructors as well. The tip on moving like a distance ice skater helped me to be able to post better and minimize swaying. Among other routines customized for me by another instructor.

Those of us on here are mainly ams like yourself. You are doing the right thing having a coach. Going to a PGA pro is the answer when you are having problems. I do the same thing when things are not right. No help or advice offered. Too many suggestions will not help your problem. Stay on track.
