I’ve recently been …
I’ve recently been looking at Hogan’s swing and how he pivots around the balls of his right foot. It seems similar to what you’re doing but it looks like you keep your weight on your left side. Thinking it might just be an illusion.

So when you’re braced into the inner side of your left foot do you still have the majority of the weight on your right foot in the backswing?

Thanks Doc! And …
Thanks Doc! And yes I do have a suggestion for you and that is to use your good hip to your advantage and hit some shots using the “One Leg Drill” video; you will not believe how far you will hit the ball! I played a whole tournament and finished second using this drill both right and left handed and the other PGA Pros who were playing with me could not believe I was outdriving them by 40 plus yards!
Let me know how you do; Shawn

Shawn your comment …
Shawn your comment is CORRECT..As an orthopedic surgeon[7 handicap] I can assure you it takes a lot of hard work with a hammer and an osteotome to mobilise an SI joint.
My problem is reduced internal rotation of my right hip[early OA] which makes my windup more difficult as I am now 65.
In addition one faces reduced lumbar mobility making it more difficult to keep ones spinal angle through impact
Do you have any suggestions for this problem which faces older golfers?

Hey Dr Dan;Thanks …
Hey Dr Dan;Thanks for the great comment!
Understood of course; but just how much mobility do these joints have? And what is their purpose?

I love the videos …
I love the videos Shawn, they have really helped my game. Just a bit on the anatomy part though. The sacrum isn’t fused to the pelvis, there are two joints on each side called sacroiliac joints and they do move. As a chiropractor, I adjust them on golfers everyday! Keep up the great advice.
