Undoing years of bad habits

[sidewinder22]

It's a raucous town but I love our idiot spirit.

Re: the backhand swing, I'm starting to realize I'm at least partially a victim of THE Schusterick gif. Trying to lean back or jutting my hips ahead and never getting my weight forward and over my hips again. I found a thread from 2016 https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123638 where you address that and how you describe your standstill/1 step throw (post #7) which really helped me understand the butt wipe mechanics and how they create power. What I can't seem to get my head around is how to not get my hip way out ahead of myself when I'm wiping towards the target. I've been trying two methods, one is letting the rest of my upper body catch up to the hips before initiating the wipe away from the target and the other is trying to keep the torso/shoulders stacked on top of the hips as my butt wipes targetward. Call me an idiot but even watching the gif in the linked thread 100x I can't tell which of the two you're doing. Maybe something else entirely? I'm a little dense.

I'm not sure what you mean by either of those methods.

There's some counter tilting back and forth that needs to happen to remain in dynamic balance.

Sounds like what I'm (poorly) describing in the second "method". Rather than keeping dynamic balance, part of my problem is I'm trying to make my hips lag laterally, firing them out ahead of my body which is keeping my weight stuck on the back foot.
