Been practicing this a lot since Cuscowilla -one reason I've not been posting!
I've got to the stage where I'm trying to start with moving the right hip back and the left knee in, whilst monitoring pp#3.Swinging from the feet.
I have experimented with the shoulders starting the take away ,but I have a tendency to freeze with my right hip if I do this. Keeping your eye on the ball and getting the hands synchronised to the pivot with good rhythm is the key for me -I have a tendency to be very aggressive on the downswing and it really feels very effortless when i get it right.
HULA,HULA!
