hip action in the golf swing
This is a quick video on the proper use of the hips in the golf swing. We all have slightly different pivots on the upswing but the downswing must be efficient to be effective. Learn how to get into impact to help you hit it farther.

Great video - Can you make too much of a lateral move?I found that if i made any lateral move my ball wound up further back in my stance hence I hit a low punch.Any idea howI can make the lateral move and not let this happen?I’ve tried varying degrees of movement(Lateral) and the low shot is still and issue.
@Mcshowlow this is not crap at all. It is the main discussion in Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons. The key here is to keep your back when doing this. I’m sure you’ve seen the tour players keep their head back until the right shoulder brings it up. By doing this, if you do the lateral move while holding your head back…your hips can only slide so far until they rotate on their own, which is 5 or 6 inches anyway. Watch Ben Hogan vids and you will see exactly what I just described.
this is crap. show me one tour pro who moves his hips laterally more than 5 or 6 inches.
great video, you seem to have very minimal turn of the hips on the backswing, can you talk about the action of the hips on the backswing, restriction of hip rotation vs free rotation of hips on backswing?
great advice…I’d wouldn’t exaggerate the lateral move as much as in your slo-mo demo…but I think you are probably doing that for lucidity. Your actual real speed swing looks great with the more moderate lateral shift.
@smartergolflessons… thanks man, but i figured it out about two weeks ago. my grip was all screwed up, funny eh? i do make a concerted effort to keep my head slightly behind the ball so as not to swipe across the ball. that grip change has got me back to playing solid golf. thanks for replying.
@CDTC9377, do you have video?
try balancing on your front foot and hit full 8 irons
@senorchipotle, I don’t think you can physically move your hips too far forward, but your upper body can fall back in an attempt to really push forward. If you’re hitting fades, then the path is across the ball. I may recommend holding your upper body over the golf ball
Can somebody help me I have a problem I am moving my arms before my hips and I am hitting mean hooks. Are there any low Handicappers that can help me I have tried everything to get my hips moving first I just cant do it. :(
I need help i am moving my arms before my hips and I am hitting ugly hooks. It seems that it is impossible to move my hips first. Is there any low handicappers out there that could help me?
howdy, great video and technical knowledge. my question however, is can there be too much hip slide. lately i’ve been having trouble squaring my clubface, and all my iron shots are fading 5-10 yards right of my target. i’ve tried strengthening my grip, but i’d rather cure the issue instead of bandage it. any ideas? thanks.
Brilliant
Waiting for you…THX
KOC, I’m not sure but I can find out for you.
