Hi all , this is my first post in a golf forum, so be gentle ..ok 
I came across a video clip on Utube, it was one of Brian Manzella’s , so I did a search and ended up here, found the other 7 clips, and really enjoyed watching them and listening to Brian, So I bought the Movie, and really enjoyed that, so here comes my Question !!
First a bit about me and my golf, just turned 60 and have been playing on and off since I was about 40, so a late starter but now I am serious about golf and want to play the best I can,
I am playing off 18 ….just! hit the ball nicely don’t really slice or hook , push and pull sometimes, but don’t get it out very far ,
Ok, in the section Forearm takeaway V Shoulder takeaway, Brian talks about * a sharp hip turn which could make your back leg straighten * I have been really focusing on keeping the damn thing flexed !! and this is really hard for me as my right leg is a little shorter than the left ! so I have tried all ways to keep a flexed right knee, so given that… when I address the ball with a nice flexed left knee my right leg is almost straight, so what feeling should I have on the backswing, at the mo my feeling is get a good shoulder turn without collapsing my right leg, hope this makes sense !!!
Cheers , Ray
