Sir, I have tried your method many times and found that nothing really trigger the downswing. I used my left bottom to push a little bit to the left side and that did trigger my hip and shoulder to turn before I accelerate my swing. At the same time, my left side hip was clear for the coming downswing. Powerful and smooth. I am confused which concept is right ?

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@fourdulai You want to feel that your "Left Hip" is being pulled behind you, unwinding. The left hip does NOT slide to the left first. If you feel the need to slide to the left first as the first move on the downswing, you setup with too much weight right to begin with or you moved off the ball on your takeaway. This will help, start with 60% weight on front foot and keep it there on the backswing so there is no need to slide to front foot because you are already there just unwind.

I love the thought of the left shoulder leaving your chin behind.

@thegonz9 You got it!! It is even easier if you just keep 60% weight on the front foot, like an anchor, push the takeaway straight back and up using the front shoulder, then just fire the hips on the downswing.

Hello, I am trying this and it does help...but i am also pull hooking. What i think is happening is that my arms are turning with my body to much(staying out front) and at impact I am coming slightly outside in with my hip turn and forcing my hands to release. Please help.

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@timc424 You pull hook for only 2 reasons. 1, your arms and club are passing your body rotation too soon, or your body turn is stopping too soon and the arms and club have to pass. 2, you are flipping or hitting with your hands. This closes the face. Answer, use your hips to pull your elbows back down in front as you keep turning. Look at the video here called the "Ross Move" it is really working great for my students.

@DUPLESSISGOLF

Thanks so much for your help. I wasn't even expecting a response from my comment. As soon as the weather warms up a bit I'll head to the range.

I've been playing for twenty years and had so many lessons, but this guy puts it in a nut shell.

Listen to him! It's solid gold.

@MMmm97vO Where you finish would directly relate to the amount of speed generated in the turn. If you turn very fast and hard, the shoulders will actually pass the point your mentioned. One thing on a softer shot with less speed the shoulders still are pulled around by the body rotation to a complete finish, knees touching and totally up on the back toe. This would mean the hips had released completely (good thing). If not, the arms will pass the body too soon and pull the shot.

@andytoy Well, I was taught the same thing, but found that not shifting your weight and restricting the lower body creates much more power and makes it very easy to hit the ball solid while turning through to the finish (not hitting with the hands). Knowing this and teaching thousands of lessons over the last 20 years, easily convinced me that this is a much more repeatable, athletic, consistent golf swing. You be your own judge ... Ross
