Any idea why the dancing feet / reverse C was so popular in the 70's? It looks kind of flimsy to me compared with modern footwork. But I guess they have to do it because of.... well, that's the part I am wondering about.
Everytime I see this it seems to go hand in hand with longish hair and 70's dress code
Ah BerntR, how much time do you have? This should be a thread of its own with all of the guys who played back then, like myself, posting photos. I even have film, super 8.
Maybe on a dare or something. A fund raiser?
I see some nice footjoys on Miller, are those Etonics on Lee? Remember those beauties? They weighed about twenty pounds each. I never had Etonics but my dad sure did. The Squire was wearing a nice pair when I met him at Marco Island.
Congrats with the progress. The paradox of golf is that it only gets easier the better you get.

Actually I'm a rather busy person. Waisting far too much time on LGB and TGM these days. But I have worked hard for several years in a row so I don't feel bad about it. Besides, I am hooked at the moment and enjoying it.

Time spent actually THINKING about your golf alignments and procedures is ALWAYS time well-spent. Time spent WRITING about what you THINK is worth ten times more.
In lieu of that thinking and writing, most people just 'hit balls'.
It takes someone special to make 'hitting balls' meaningful.

That should be a sticky! Most golfers don't appreciate the difference between practice and hitting balls.

Regarding the feel for a correct hip action, the easiest image I've found is is setting up with your back just in front of a wall/mirror. When you pivot back, you'll feel your right back pocket at some point touching/swiping the wall (at a point left of it's original position). From the top, keep this point of contact as you turn the left hip towards the wall. This will move your weight onto the left leg and the left hip to a position more forward than at address, but still within the left-foot line. No more danger of sliding.
PS, did you ever talk to Greg Smith (GSEM) in Mesa? I'm sure he could help you along the TGM path.
I had a couple lessons from Greg Smith last summer.
I have had some great success with getting the hips to rotate more and less slide the past couple weeks. I was able to do this with more of a hula hip move, I was able to improve my pivot rotation with a little more weight off my left foot at the top. Its worked well for contact and club speed (I dare say I am almost getting long with the driver). Directional issues persist with the shorter irons (driver and long irons are ok).

We'll get there... at least we both have a plan we like!
