Hips

I don't know why I do this but once I'm happy with my swing then I somehow then want to destroy it and go off on another tangent. Or I see another swing like this time I think it was Sam Sneads and I tell myself why doesn't my swing look like that and then I have another thought and want to try it out. I guess I'll accept the fact that I'll never have the perfect swing but will just trust that all these constantly new moves will culminate into a correct swing over time.

The latest move is the hips. I've tried a new hip turn which is just turning the hips and not the shoulders with it. I guess the swing key is thinking like Elvis just turning the hips and not the shoulders or head. This has got me back to a dig the right elbow in thought and completely away from the pull the chain. I've tried to combine the two for more power but I haven't been too successful. It also doesn't feel as natural as pulling the chain and I have to really learn the move. I've measured my speed and I've lost a few MPH but not too bad. Even though it feels weird I've gotten into positions I've never been before which are more correct. Especially my hip turn at impact. I'm not sure if it's the right way to get into them but it's interesting seeing how it affects my swing.
