This is a great video. Not understanding why there is so much fuss over what he is saying. Makes perfect sense to me. My mishits are pushed shots, and what he is saying will help me keep my club going straight down the target line resulting in my shots going where i want them too.

This is an example of a good player not knowing how to teach. He talks about weekend golfers turning their hands over, which virtually NEVER happens in high handicappers.

More important, he is explaining a dangerous swing thought which will stop all progress towards the target. Notably, the instructor himself does a very small, but needed "hip bump" prior to spinning his hips. Without that little bump at 1:51 in the video, his swing wouldn't look so nice and fluid. I like his videos on timing.

This guy could not be more wrong. The left hip should go toward the target and UP. Weight shifts to the outside of the left foot and rotation occurs.
Don't know what the heck he's talking about but he's way wrong.

He's not wrong. If your hip moves toward the target, bottom of your swing goes forward as well. What you mean is, your abdomen should go toward the target. What you described will cause imbalance and certainly can't be effortless. your arms swivel around your spine. and what is connected to your spine? your hips. remember it's weight shift, not center shift.

ben hogan actually had slight hip slide although it seemed dramatic. but if you see his swing, his head still remains in position meaning his upper body stayed behind and caused greater tilt as with most good ball strikers. and that is NOT very easy to do. but for average golfers, his method is very good to get the correct feel. if you want to add more power, you need to have the fundamentals down first. I personally find Booby Jones's swing much butter like.
