  • @Edge4writer Thanks for the good response. Yes I fine tuned by hip turn by first firing my left knee forward and all else are passive and what a distance and accuracy. I have difficulty firing my left hips and after watching your videos and Jack Nicholas left knee release and put it all together it make wonders.

  • Very helpful. After all this is a swing, not a hit.  the club rotates around the fulcroms created by the spine and the hip. this is as good a description as any of this complex move. Thanks.

  • works for me ... thanks for the wonderful tip!

  • this is actually pretty spot on.... all the positions he is talking about are correct

  • Very helpful suggestion, well stated. Simply put, yet very few other people have said it so simply.  Thanks

  • jack nicholson?

  • @Risaldeb Some lateral movement of the hips on the downswing is inevitable, but you have to turn, too. If you don't turn that left hip and get it behind you out of the way, the body will not be able to swing through, you'll get stuck and then come over the top in an out-to-in swing - big pull or slice from that. Firing the hips out of the way ahead of your body turn actually increases your power and distance, and will help drop the club on an inside path for that desired draw.

  • You lose power big time on this swing plus you go over the top. This was my swing for 3 years and I increased my HC but when I swing my hips laterally on downswing I gain big distance and dropped my HC by almost 10. No offense just sharing experience.

  • That's what I needed to hear, when on the range and it pretty much cured it. Thanks for the post

  • @KBrown28031 This man just said it, Im still a beginner, but YOU NEED to start with a very small hip bumb towards the target otherwise its sooooo easy to turn the shoulders before the whole turn and youll hit the ball to the left if your a right handed golfer. But sure, the hip should go around but FIRST start with a small hip bumb its the key!
