I am an avid golfer who has recently encountered great difficulty attaining the final piece of the modern golf swing, to wit: a movement of the hips away from the ball in the downswing. My question relates to a congenital deformity in my hips, they are quite pronated, giving me a "knock-kneed" appearance. Several Drs. and therapists (I have had a complete left knee replacement) have assured me the appearance is hip related and has nothing to do with my knees. I am wondering how or if this hip situation impacts the golf swing, especially the movment of the hips away from the ball through impact.
