left hip difficulty
I can think of nowhere other than here where I could get some very thoughtful, educated opinions. Therefore....
I was diagnosed yesterday with a tear in the labrum or some tendon stuff in the left hip. The doc says the good news is I won't need a new hip, but the bad news is it won't get better. He suggested I come up with a new move other than rotating over a load bearing left hip.
That's where you folks come in. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks,
JerryG

"A Turning Point"
Jerry,

Sorry for your Hip trouble. Do you know what Shoulder Turn Variation (10-13)and Plane Angle Variation (10-7) you currently use?

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.

Doctor's Orders
Jerry,

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,
