I still struggle with it, but this is what has been helping for me: -Through my backswing, I make sure majority of my weight is on my back foot so that when I make my transition my left hip doesn’t feel too restricted to make a good turn. Helps keep my left hip a little lower and “loose” feeling. - When I’m starting my transition to my downswing, I try to feel like my left foot takes control of pulling the club …

The first thing you have to do is force …

You get away with it for the irons because you have loft. You can cancel the dumped under swing path with the driver by hitting up on it (rory does this). Get to P2 with the takeaway and then you just turn to the top with your body and hips. Also note that your hips, it should be trail hip back in the backswing, then lead hip back in the downswing. Or sit on a stool with your trail ass, then sit with your lead ass …
