Restrict Your Hips

Problem

You have a very fast turn yet are not getting the power or accuracy that you desire.

Cure

Stay synchronized. You will lose both consistency and distance if your arms are out swinging your body or your hips are out of sync with your shoulder turn.

Therapy

Make sure you are not unwinding your hips too quickly during the swing. If this is the case, try flaring out your lead foot to help restrict your hips during the backswing. This will also help slow your hip movement during the forward swing.

Sounds like X factor to me. Great way to mess up your back .

Its definitely good advice... it lets you swing through just fine, but makes it easier on your back because the hips ultimately end up more open. Thats what the pro at my local club told me and it worked out well.
