Finding this explantion was a eureka moment for me. I new from early on how important the hip action was and completely digested Hogans five steps, took it literaly (I’m thinking now about his analogy with the elastic band pulling the left hip back) and of coarse came over the top. This makes it clear and for that I thank you.

I have had problems in my downswing for years, this is the first tip that I think sets everything clear and simple enough to start practising it having a clear image of what i should do. I still have to work on it, but man! get an A+ for the explanation and the simplification. I’ll tell you how it is working!

You need to make an instructional DVD. Your tips are some of the most useful around. Keep it up.
And if you do, include tips over a few holes on a course including strategy and technique variation according to situation as most DVDs don’t include that sort of thing.

no no no you miss the point. in the backswing, i believe it is incorrect to say EVERYBODY needs the same thing. some ppl need to be more behind the ball, some need to be more centred. in a more centred backswing, as the left hip turns it will slide at the same time. and this in turn will shift the weight forward

Can you show me an example of a professional that finishes with his weight on his back foot?
January 26th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
definately get your weight off you front foot. not everyone needs to get more behind the ball. keeping the centre of the base of the spine more centred will help them stay on top of the ball. i dont like to keep weight on the front foot. on the downswing, as the left hip clears it will also slide forward. again it is totally dependent on the players needs

Twisting the hip is the biggest FAULT I see with the hip action and you would prefer it for some people? You MUST get your weight off the back foot, but if you try to twist as you’re advocating, you’ll never get off of it and eventually develop a reverse pivot.

aorry ringer, but you really over complicate things. and you assume this would work for everyone. but it proberly wont. some people need more centred hips, where your rigte hip kinda moves towards the target, whereas some need more a move over the right hip

Thanks a lot for doing these videos Steve. One tip though, have the sun in your face instead of your back and the shot (video shot that is) will look a whole lot better!

Great explanation of the hip motion in the swing. I find myself in the finish position that you show of the hips that just turn. It looks like a coming out of the shot pose and it results in many sliced or pushed shots. I think the spine tilt you show,( is it reverse K?) might be something I will try to implement to stop this. I do see my left foot turning open all the time also. If I square it to target line its tough to get around that left hip and it wants to move.

Also with regards to the left toes a little off ground at finish is because as we finish into a taller straighter finish, our spine becomes more erect placing more weight further back towards our heels. Talking when you look at the swing from the profile view (down the line).For those who remain with more of their starting spine angle at finish…the left toes come up less.

Steve mentioned he doesn’t want this happening prior the impact area which would cause an outside-in motion…and he is right. If the left hip turns prematurely (before the weight gets back on left side…knee over ankle)then this occurs…

tonqzilla, the reason the inside of front (left) foot is a little off the ground at finish is because the left hip completed it’s role of turning to target to a full finish. The upper body ends up over the left leg placing more weight slightly to the outside of foot…

Same thing for a lot of people.. money. It’s not just talent that takes you far you have to have money.

Thanks Ringer. Just wondering, what kept you from going to q school?
January 27th, 2012 at 4:03 am
Great question!
Lets revision your walk through a bit. Imagine that there is a coffee table right at your knees and only a few inches away. Your objective is to walk through the swing without letting your legs touch the table.

I think its clear what initiates the downswing. Many people are confused about what continues to drive the club through impact. After the hips are square from the downswing, what drives the club to impact and release? I find myself off balance and losing spine tilt if i continue to “step through” with the hips only. Should one focus on driving the right shoulder to impact after the left hip is replaced? Or should i focus on “stepping through” and leave shoulder drive passive?

Re-establishment of the left hip made easier with a proper setup and using the leverage built up in your right leg to do it—great explanation!
