Do this drill:

Insert a dowel or reflective marker through your front two belt loops. Now, make a practice stroke. If you unwimd too fast, you'll know immediately because your hands will collide with the dowel.

Start with the short shots and work your way into full swings. Soon, you will have trained your hips not to race ahead of your arms, and your Pivot and Arm Swing will be coordinated. When you can hit full drivers without worrying about the dowel, you'll have licked the problem.

This coordination is something that most of the great players have had to learn at some point in their careers.
