Played 18 with my old college coach yesterday because he was in town. While we were at the range warming up for the round, he noticed my hips angle and shoulder angle were about the same. So he busted out his old bungy cord and looped it around the left belt loop. He told me to take my regular back swing, and as soon as i finished my backswing he tuged on the cord to pull my hip a little bit back while i held my back in the same position. We did this about 15-20 times so that i could get the feeling in my muscles. Man did it make a diffrence. My 5 iron was back to the 190-200 carry range. The only wierd thing is that i don't feel like i'm making a full turn, but the outcome is so much better than b4. I've always been told that i should feel a little tightness in the back to feel a proper coil. Should i keep on the feeling of restricting the hip to turn as much as i did b4 or should i just naturally let it happen. I shot a 84 for the round, had a bunch of scramble shots due to me hitting it over the green due to new distances with the irons.

Re: Restricting hips
Guess its whatever works
Personally im working on actually turning the hips more in the BS so that I ensure my lower body is turning and not swaying. I actually want my left hip to feel as it its pointing to right field so from the top I can shift my hips crossline in the direction and come down from the inside. I hit the ball flush like that
