AH! the old hip bump , I thought you meant rotate to start the downswing Dan I mixed it up with josh's hip pocket analogy, my fault in reading it wrong , I thought the right foot being on the toe would have served the same purpose as the feet together drill but with the added benifit of weight getting on to my left foot easier.

Seems as though I have to try all this out on the course.  (no I can't get to the range)

Thanks Guys for your help , pity ady doesn't see the value of all your help like I do.

I've gotten myself in to a stiff puppet like Arm swing that looks and feels wooden and just letting the arms and club drop could land me in some awful trouble as letting my arms just drop with out feeling connected has ruined my game in the past , as you well know as you sorted me out last time

I know I should try it but I feel thats a bit down the road a bit yet, I'm just trying to get out of this staying on the back foot to muscle shots fault, I know I have lots of supple muscle round my midriff but the shoulder and arm muscles are what I've relied on all my life to earn a living , I'm finding out the hard way its not necessary to swing a golf club , I watch everybody I play with and soon see the trigger they use to start their swings , my mate Mike has a funny trigger which as I give it more thought may work for me too , he taps the floor with his club head 5 or 6 times behind the ball while jiggling all his bits IE feet , hips , wrists as though playing the moves in his head before starting his swing (looks Funny at times) but it seems to work for him , so I may nick his idea and play the shot in my head before committing to it.

Tempo Rhythm and Timing easy said but for someone with two left feet and Dyslexia of the extremities its asking a lot , but persist in the search for the answers to my faults I will.

just let the force flow Luke!, not when your name is Jabba the Hutt its not

Its hard work but worth it in the long run Sham, with what youve been filling us in with it does look like your subconsciously scooping the ball which in turn causes you to stay on the right side with your weight, your not alone if this is indeed the case, just about everyone does it to some extreme or another, proper weight transfer is an art in itself.

Dont think too much about it Boss just try smooth when you address the ball at set up and watch your setup routine and spine angle carefully, a few small errors creeping in to this will make a big difference.

I have to monitor my swing speed and often use this 'Smooth' to tell myself to keep an even keel, you'll find you hit the ball miles better when it begins to gel, but it takes trial and error before it comes together, just keep positive and concentrate on the ball striking you will undoubtedly achieve with perseverance. 

Finally Sham you're at a disadvantage in the amount of golf you're able to play, its extremely hard to be relatively consistent when you only get out once a week, this of course is none of your making, so see if you can get some form of swing practice at home, as a small suggestion a cheap driving net from Argos set up in the back garden would help out with this part of your game, just 10 minutes a day would have you getting more feel for what you are trying to achieve, and build up your swing consistency and confidence no end, obviously there's nothing better than belting a ball down the fairway but this would help out with weight shift Drills, Rhythm,Tempo,Timing and maintaining a solid setup routine for when you take it to the course.

Seem to remember reading in the Jack Nicklaus instruction book that he kept his weight on the insides of his feet, perhaps thats worth a try. I know you do on the right(if your a right hander)foot, but he suggested on the left also.

 proper weight transfer is an art in itself. you ain't kidding

scooping the ball , Er! I'm definitely not scooping , I'm driving the ball in to the ground if anything , hence the humungus Divots over the last few weeks  , I sorted that out at the end of my round a fortnight ago and really felt the benifit last week with smaller divots and better ball contact , I still got the odd ball shaped hole instead of a divot , I put that down to soggy ground or just too steep an angle of attack or I hit the ball too high on the backside  but I take your point jimbo, smooth is good and I may be able to get to the course a little earlier now the evenings are staying lighter , I'll ask my playing Partners about changing our tee off times to a half hour later but will still turn up at the same time and hit 50 balls at the range or around our practice green and bunker, its worth a go eh!.

Jack Nicklaus ? , Oldboy , he's the bugger that started some of my problems  I read where he said make your stance a Dynamic one , imagine you're playing (american) football  and you are about to make a tackle , me being a plonker took it literally and I looked like a pregnant Duck about to lay an egg , but tha was my fault not his I probably looked more like a Sumo wrestler than a Duck but you get the idea.

My head is full of thoughts again , so I shall say Thank you to all that have taken the time to offer me help and advice and see wfere I go with all these suggestions , Thanks Guys.

Scooping will give you big divots Boss if your spine angle's all over the place, you've just shot yourself in the foot there.

Take it easy with the range work Boss, I've never done well there, hit a few good balls think I'm Tiger and get a good hiding on the course,   much better time spent at the practice bunkers and green IMO.

Den you reading this!

 Yes, just set the bloody clock. Put it over wife's side so she can wake me. One unhappy bunny there, your name is mud matey. 

 Whilst on this thread; Sham loosen the left hand side of your braces, should help with weight transfer.
