Michelle, two part question... I get the drill and think it would help me but how do I get that straightening in the proper sequence of the back swing, meaning when does the leg get to its straight position when you put this move into the swing?
Second, why do all the shot traces on Golf Pass appear to be a fair amount right of line, enough that to the viewer it looks like the face was open at impact?

Sometimes I turn my hips well and hit the ball solid. The next time out that feel is gone. What could I be doing wrong?

Sometimes when I try to open my hips a little more, I either hit a big push shot or snap hook. Not sure if I lose my tilt or get stuck. Any recommendations?
