Heel me!
Should the weight move from the heels towards the balls of the feet, or should the weight stay on the heels throughout? I seem to recall Chuck Evans suggesting the 1st option, but a casual perusal of this thread does not validate that belief, unless of course I missed something. I have noticed that baseball players tend to twist/spin on their heels...correlation? I guess that is another seems as if I heard just this weekend from a teaching pro at the range "Picture yourself getting ready to dive into a pool."

Rambling Incubator
Too much Pivot Effort will...
OverLoad your Radius Power (#4 Power Accumulator) with a vicious, malicious turn rather than a gentle turn of the Pivot.
pull you out of your Pivot alignments.
force the Hips to move crossline rather than parallel to your Deliverly Line.
create a Sweep Release, requiring a higher Hand Speed to produce a given clubhead speed.

The motion of the Hips toward the ball, feels like power, but actually does nothing to add power...False feel effort. Also, the Hip motion toward the ball forces the spine to curve, rotation to stop, and can actually impede the Right Elbow and its desired Impact alignments, resulting in Throwaway.

Ben Doyle always wants his students to "sit" at Start Down.

Physical factors like tight "hammies" can also play a role.

Chuck always taught me front part of the heels to keep a balanced tripod.

Start at Address

7-17 is the perfect start.

Next, I'd find the location of the hips at Impact Fix. When I started using Impact Address (Impact Fix will suffice for mere mortals ), I found a real difference in the position of my pelvis and the weight on my left heel. All this garbage that I had heard about sticking your butt out and keeping your chin up felt ridiculous. It felt like getting to Impact was impossible with all that curvature in the Lumbar.

If I went from Impact Fix to Adjusted Address, it felt like my belt was at my boobs with no curvature in the Lumbar. Impact felt possible from there.

Wish more people would get just how useful Impact Fix is to a golfer.

Is that where the weight stays through out? Also, if the weight is not towards the heel will that prevent a parallel to the plane line move of the hips?

7-17 states "...Address Position loading of the feet is even distribution between both Feet but with enough on the heels to allow the toes to be lifted up momentarily without altering the distribution between heel and toe

I would appreciate additional interpretation of the underlined portion...to make sure that I fully understand. To me it suggests that the toes can be lifted without losing balance, or a need to shift weight?

"The weight on each foot is back through the heel from the ball. You should never feel that the weight is forward on your feet. " p.38 Ben Hogan Power Golf.

I struggle with this too . . . . I think you have to learn to keep your hips from going toward the ball. You have to move your hips laterally down your heel line and then push them up and left. If your hips go toward the target line you'll back up and out of it with your head. It shoots your arms out to the right and makes the shaft lay down way underplane.

My swing thought is keep your bunghole going left and keep it from moving toward the ball/target line. If your hips move toward the target line it can disrupt the hand path major. Finish feeling like the head is outside of the shoulders.

Bucket,
When your hips move forward towards the target line and you come out of your posture- does your face look like this .
I've got you on video - outside of golf - with the same kind of thing happening- I'll post it up in the next couple of days.
