You know there are many other people who need help too. It is a great exercise that you can do at home on the field and even when you are playing well, this exercise gets your hips moving. There are so many people I see that you know when they are going to hit the

golf

ball they don't move in any way. his hips are close enough to what the pros do, so if you look at a freeze frame of any pro hitting any golf club making a full swing, you'll see that when they hit impact, you can see this cheek at impact on all the professionals until now when I amateur video players who come here for lessons I can't see the cheek and I'm talking about

more

than 90 percent, so this is a serious problem, this is a major difference between what the professionals do and what amateurs do, so we have You have to get your hips moving in your golf swing, so why wouldn't you move your hips well?

There's a ball right there. It's much easier to reach the top of your backswing and try to hit that golf ball. process, you're just lowering your arms, your arms move faster than your body in life, so of course your arms would get there before you've moved your body. See, in prose shifts, we're moving our body first and our arms follow. So that move, if you've never done it before, it takes a little bit of coordination, it takes a little bit of understanding and then of course you have to think about doing it and practice until you're good at doing it.

So this is a great exercise you can do, no joke, you can do it anywhere and it's all about effort. You know you have to start somewhere, so if you at least start thinking about moving your legs and hips, you are now on your way to being one. in a position where the pros are okay, you have to move those hips, so everything we're going to do in this one, you can do it with any club, it doesn't matter, grab your club, now you've got your thumbs like This I'm going to put thumbs on my belt loops here, okay, that indicates where my hips are aligned.

Now you can see I have an alignment stick on the ground, perpendicular here, so what I'm going to do. I'm going to take this right here, okay, I'm going to set it up like this and I'm going to take this golf club, right here, the shaft of the club, and I'm going to match it up with that alignment lever over there, look, right here. I'm going to

turn

it and attach it to that stick, so I'm trying to move my hips now. If you want to go one step further, you can go like this. You can

turn

the club right here to about 45 degrees, that's where it would be in your backswing once you're wound up, now from here combine it with that alignment stick and it doesn't have to be an alignment stick, just something to give you a line right there that you can match the stick to, it could be a tile floor it could be slats on a patio, anything that gives you a line, even, you know, when the lawn mower cuts a straight line on a deck of tea, so you could do this on a tea platform, you know it's about repeating it over and over and over again, so let's go like this, so this is like starting here, okay, so start straight ahead, it's okay, just start doing that, first you join the club or club to the shaft, then you add 45 degrees of hip rotation and then you join, okay, so start again. like you're doing a backswing and then blend it right so like I said it's about repeating it over and over again that's what we want to achieve in our golf swing so look as I hit this ball you'll see this cheek.

Right here, when I hit this ball at impact, that's how I get a lot of power. I'm using my legs and hips, which causes my arms to go down. My wrists are very loose, which creates a quicker release of the golf club. There's no way I'm going to be sitting here, I'm going to hit this ball. I'm just not even thinking like that. I'm thinking about my legs and hips. I'm going to propel her with my legs and hips if I want to hit her. a lot of time I drive my legs and hips harder I don't hit anything harder I'm not even thinking like that harder I drive my legs and hips faster the club releases well so we'll take a look at impact and you'll I see that my hips definitely they move when I hit this ball, okay, that ball is absolutely straight, so you see the cheek at impact, hopefully you see that now, if you want to hit the ball lengthwise, you have to see that. cheek at impact, that would tell you that your hips are rotating as you come down, okay, we're not trying to hit anything, we have to shoot your body, then the club will start to move.

The body is the first stick that will follow you, okay, so how do you do it? you do it right, start doing that exercise, just feel it, like I said, it takes coordination, it takes understanding, it takes feeling what you're trying to do and then of course you have to practice it until you get better, so do it. a bunch of these, okay, I just get the feeling of doing it, then maybe apply it to some practice swings, oh, okay, I feel my hips and then I apply it to the ball, okay, you move those hips, you'll hit the Longer and straighter ball than you have ever made in your life.
