Thanks Drew.
With KevCarter's assistance I have been trying to get to a rotated (10-13-C) shoulder turn.
As for the plane angle, I believe I am presently closest to 10-7-E.
However, since this is golf, if it feels I am doing something a certain way I probably am not.
I certainly hope this makes sense.
Drew,
It takes a well stated question in order to lead to a quality answer. As stated so many times in the Forum, the answers are to be found in the book.
Thank you so much for your insightful query which has now been leading me to more investigation in the book. I am on to something after a few sessions in the dungeon. Tomorrow to the range!
Again, thank you.

Without seeing your motion and knowing your medical history, it would be difficult to make any recomendation. My main concern would be to take the pressure off the Left Hip, which may be the result of excessive Waist Bend and Hip Slant. Are you currently using Swinging or Hitting? Is there any video of your motion on line?
Also, does your doctor think it is a good idea to continue playing golf and pracitcing while the Hip is in the process of healing?
Thanks for getting back.
The doc says it probably won't get any better (MRI results today, though)and I should come up with a new move through the ball.
I have been a swinger, but I am now into the magic of the right forearm, the right shoulder and am imagining my swing center well right of where it had been. We've had two glorious days of rain so I've been relegated to the dungeon to hit into a hanging blanket/tarp, but it feels pretty good so far. I even slept through the night!
I think I will try to add the TALY today to see if I can come up with a better visual.
Your question led me to the book and a reconsideration of 10-7, especially. I am hoping this concoction will be the beginning of being able to continue playing golf.
Thanks again,
Recently found out from the MRI that it is a frayed labrum with some other things going on at this age of 63. No rounds of golf for awhile, but the short game should get pretty good.
If any of you have had a hip labrum repaired, I would appreciate hearing of your experience.
Thanks,

If you think the injury was golf related maybe during your layoff you could gently work on an improved motion. Homer is on record as thinking that the quickest results are attained without the ball being present. Lynn's first teaching classes were in a ball room during the winter months with students emerging in the spring to see shockingly improved striking ability.
Like tai chi for golfers. You may have to give up golf but you dont have to give up G.O.L.F. You could work your way through 12-3 THE MECHANICAL CHECKLIST FOR ALL STROKES in slow motion, sort of like the Hogan slow motion video. You can do the motion training of the McDonald exercises and later the Melhourne drills when you're able to hit some Acquired shots. You might come back better than ever, better for not having the ball in front of you.

The warranties are now good for 15 years, Gerry, and you are in good shape but can't they do a "minimally invasive" thingy?
As for a non-Pivot strike of the golf-ball, was it Percy Boomer who shot par with one leg
More later.
