Fixing Your Hips Is Key To A Better Golf Swing

🏌️ Proper hip motion in a golf swing is crucial for power, swing path, and controlling the bottom of the swing.

📏 The ideal hip sway pattern involves moving the hips towards the target throughout the swing.

🎯 Many golfers struggle with not moving their hips enough towards the target, affecting their swing efficiency.

🔄 Consistent hip movement towards the target is vital for achieving rightward tilt and backward bend in the follow-through.

🏌️‍♂️ Understanding and practicing hip sway can significantly improve contact and ball flight in golf.

00:00:00 - all, right, welcome, to, Fix, My, Fault everybody, we're, going, to, talk, about, our hips, it's, all, in, the, hips, right, so, um overall, a, proper, hip, motion, within, the golf, swing, is, going, to, be, vital, for, a lot, of, different, reasons, one, for, power two, for, for, controlling, where, the, bottom of, your, swing, is, but, then, also, three, for uh, some, swing, path, stuff, okay, i, mean just, the, proper, hip, motion, with, what we're, going, to, say, a, lot, with, hip, sway

00:00:25 - is, so, vital, we, have, all, those, tour averages, here, at, Golf, Tech, our, coaches are, trained, to, know, what, the, body, needs to, do, so, I'm, gonna, be, describing, a, lot of, that, to, the, camera, first, and, then we're, gonna, start, getting, into, what, you need, to, do, sounds, good

00:00:44 - so, in, regards, to, just, the, pattern, I'm going, to, face, this, direction, okay, so don't, mind, me, okay, right, uh, just, to, kind of, describe, the, pattern, of, hip, sway especially, from, the, down, swing, into, the follow, through, so, at, the, top, of, the swing, our, sways, with, the, shoulders, kind of, just, I'll, describe, it, first, we, move towards, and, away, from, the, target, your pink, shirt's, going, to, be, the, towards part, okay, okay, away, from, you, is, going, to

00:01:06 - be, going, away, just, in, terms, of, inches, is what, I'm, going, to, describe, okay, so, at the, top, of, the, swing, we, stay, around, zero so, it's, actually, 0.3, in, towards, with, our hips, and, 0.2, in, towards, with, our shoulders, now, as, we, start, the, swing, we move, both, those, positions, 2, in, towards the, targets, then, from, there, once, our, arm passes, the, uh, parallel, to, the, ground, our hips, continue, to, move, to, 3.1, inches towards, the, target, now, our, shoulders

00:01:32 - start, moving, away, so, what, this, creates when, I'm, actually, moving, towards, a target, with, my, hips, and, then, starting, to move, a, little, away, with, my, shoulders, it starts, to, create, rightward, tilting, if I'm, creating, rightward, tilting, that would, at, least, help, out, with, that, into out, path, that, a, lot, of, individuals struggle, out, there, to, get, now, I, continue to, move, my, hips, towards, the, target, to another, 3.1, inches, towards, by, impact, and

00:01:56 - then, moving, away, still, with, my, shoulders creating, that, rightward, tilt, important for, that, rightward, path, and, then, as, I'm moving, into, the, follow, through, the, hips continue, to, move, towards, 3.8, in, towards and, my, shoulders, by, the, time, that, my arms, are, parallel, to, the, ground, to, about 2, in, away, that, creates, backward, bend, now let's, reverse, that, if, I'm, 2.2, 2, in, away with, my, hips, and, say, like, 3, point, in

00:02:21 - towards, my, shoulders, I, have, a, big problem, i, can't, hit, the, ball, far, i, can't hit, the, ball, up, in, the, air, there's, a, lot of, issues, that, is, associated, with bending, too, much, forward, with, say, like the, bends, and, the, follow, through, if, I'm moving, my, hips, towards, a, target, enough that, can, control, my, sways, and, my, low point, especially, so, come, on, over, here let's, uh, let's, apply, all, that, okay, that was, probably, a, lot, to, digest, i, have, I, do

00:02:44 - have, a, question, about, the, sways, so, does that, do, those, hips, weight, averages change, based, on, which, club, you're, using a, little, bit, uh, but, if, you, just, follow the, standard, pattern, what, I, really described, there, was, a, seven, iron, pattern if, you, follows, that, standard, seven, iron pattern, and, move, the, ball, forward, a little, bit, more, for, the, angle, of, attack with, the, driver, that's, reasonable, okay okay, but, what, I, find, is, a, lot, of, my

00:03:05 - students, don't, move, their, sways, enough towards, a, target, regardless, especially these, hips, okay, so, what, I, want, you, to, do is, that, we're, going, to, take, away, that ball, you, love, pulling, out, that, ball first, so, go, ahead, and, uh, address, the, red dot, there, okay, now, let's, just, learn, this motion, first, okay, i'm, going, to, put, this next, to, your, lead, ear, okay, okay, and, what I, want, you, to, do, is, move, the, hips

00:03:26 - towards, that, target, for, me, but, keep, the the, club, right, where, it, is, okay, there you, go, but, do, not, hit, this, with, your head, okay, there, you, are, good, keep, going good excellent, nice, now, you're, going, to, just move, into, the, follow-through, position with, keeping, the, hips, towards, the, target in, the, same, fashion, that, you, just, had there, okay, wait, just, to, the, follow through, yep, just, to, the, follow, through good, keep, hit, moving, the, hips, towards

00:03:57 - the, target, for, me, more, yep, even, more that, got, that, got, you, some, rightward tilt, but, then, also, as, you, start, to, go into, the, the, follow, through, you're, now bending, backwards, which, is, a, vital, part to, hitting, the, ball, further, that's, even like, part, of, our, logo, of, fix, my, fault here, okay, you, only, can, achieve, that, if the, hips, are, moving, towards, the, target okay, okay, so, go, ahead, and, do, it, a, couple more times

00:04:24 - good, and, good, now, let's, go, ahead, and address, the, ball, for me, it's, like, you're, you're, hip, bumping somebody, it, is, yeah, exactly, okay, so we're, going, to, do, that, with, these, little swings, you, know, me, and, how, I, like, to work, and, just, start, with, little, swings here, okay, so, you're, going, to, only, move the, club, just, about, parallel, to, the ground, and, then, you're, really, going, to feel, those, hips, moving, towards, the

00:04:45 - target, okay, and, then, just, completing where, we, stopped, on, those, practice, okay so, I'm, going, to, put, this, next, to, your ear good, you, might, hit, the, ball, a, little thin, to, start, off, and, then, create contact

00:05:08 - okay, like, I, said, thin, is, okay, thin, to win nice, really, good if, you're, hitting, the, ground, a, lot, prior to, the, ball, if, you're, having, the, trouble of, really, um, hitting, the, ball, higher, I mean, honestly, any, issue, is, probably related, to, these, hips, not, moving, towards the, target, enough, so, just, making, sure that, you're, having, in, your, mind, that from, pretty, much, the, takeaway, the, hips need, to, move, towards, the, target, they

00:05:40 - don't, ever, move, back, away, from, the target, so, that's, going, to, be, a, vital part, of, just, understanding, this, whole pattern, of, of, what, better, players, do yeah, that's, something, that, I, struggle with, specifically, in, my, wedge, shots, and I, think, it, stems, from, like, I, asked earlier, does, that, hip, sway, apply, to, all of, your, swings, i, think, as, soon, as, I, get to, a, wedge, shot, I, don't, think, about swaying, my, hips, as, much, so, I, hit, behind

00:06:00 - the, ball, almost, every, single, time, so this, is, something, that, I, need, to, work, on yeah, i, mean, how, many, sports, are, actually designed, around, moving, away, from, the target, there, is, not, too, many, besides like, the, fadeaway, jump, shot, which, isn't a, high, probability, shot, in, basketball, in the, first, place, you, need, to, move, towards the, target, and, the, most, important, part is, the, center, of, your, mass, the, hips, so you, might, describe, this, in, a, lot, of

00:06:20 - terms, of, just, like, weight, distribution but, we, really, like, to, measure, it, in terms, of, sway, just, where, that, center, of the, pelvis, is, at, a, dress, it's, always zero, but, then, how, does, it, move throughout, the, swing, is, something, that really, optimotion, can, highlight, for everybody, that, comes, into, any, one, of, our bays, yeah, so, go, ahead, and, do, it, one, more time, okay, and, let's, just, show, and, and demonstrate, how, good, those, hips, can, move

00:06:41 - towards, the, target oh, behind, it, and, you, hit, this, and, I, hit that, we, can't, end, on, that, you, really can't, we're, going, to, cut, that, one, out yeah, cut oops, so, let's, Okay, let's, show, one, really good, one, hips, going, towards, the target nice, there, you, go, sweet, good, job fantastic, work, there, Lexi, thank, you [Music]
