This is the ER and in typical fashion I am impatient so I will pose my question and then search the site for the answer... Apologies if there is already a thread on my bane.
Over my last three rounds I have felt a real command over my swing so much so i began working on shot shaping. then when I arrived at the range on Saturday to warm for my 4 man 2 best ball tourney I had lost it. I could not get my hands to drive the pivot. I was hitting fat irons and pop ups with the woods. My takeaway was inside and my hips were following the club back forcing my lead shoulder to drop. I couldn't create any centrifigal force on the downswing.
I hit the practice tee for about 30 min and more of the same.
I don't want to work bad habits in as I've come so far in the off season.
What would be a good check list to work through to diagnose this fatal flaw?
And
How can get my arms to work up back and in without starting my swing with the torso?
Background
I worked with a Ballard instructor for years and I struggle disconnecting my hands from my body now that I've left this method.
Using RFT from standard address, as you fan the club back and up with the right forearm, the right hip moves straight back behind you and the right leg slant slightly increases, preventing a lateral move to the right.
However, I'm not sure RFT would work from impact fix.
Have you tried simply maintaining the slant in the right leg?
This may be in the ball park of what I'm looking for, I read your post and tried a few backswings in my living room and moving my hip behind me seems to creat a ton of room as wellas allows me to keep my height with the lead shoulder.

Ill try tomorow while practicing and update you
Thanks
My instructor has me working with 10-15-B Delayed Hip Action with pre-turned hips at address. They're not turned all the way through but get naturally "picked" by the shoulder turn in the backstroke.

My faults in my swing have been axactly the same as yours to a tee,I discovered that it was my shoulders were not following the correct axis through the swing,to explain it ,my hips were on correct axis (or turn)my backswing shoulder turn was correct axis but that was the end of story right there,from there it was a pure and simple OTT,i corrected it somewhat straight away by using the left step and bump. But the "BIG" thought was and is turning my shoulders around my spine ....just keeping everything centred around the proper axis............its working for me...hope it helps
Nice video Air thanks . IMO when Lynn says he's hitting .....he's hitting in the Homer fashion....active right arm extension but bent at impact, straight at both arms straight, follow through. Well thats what he taught me anyways when we went over hitting.
I originally start this with a question on my pivot activation and you responses were instrumental in some quality ball striking. So I'm back for some more help.
2 weeks back I lost all compression on the ball and I began missing it both ways. Just terrible shots high, floaty, week shot after shot. Lost EA and can't get it back, my downswing is a total black out.
Today I had to take a look on video. What I can see is my right shoulder fails to get back to the plane line established by the right arm and shaft and I'm losing my tush line in the downswing. My butt is a good 2-3 inches closer to the ball.
