Moving the hips laterally is something that occurs in every good golf swing. But when does that lateral movement, or slide, become the dreaded hip slide that nobody wants and so many golfers struggle with? A big part of what determines a good lateral move from a bad one in the golf swing is when it happens and why it’s happens.
In this video, we’re going to show you how to stop the slide late in your downswing so you’ll have a more consistent golf swing and hit more pure golf shots!
Hands In Club-Head Out | Release And The Downswing –
Today what we’re going to talk about my friends is how the Hands Come In and the Club-Head goes Out to release properly in the golf downswing. It’s one of the most misunderstood things.
This is a very common question from golfers and Mike offers some simple drills that can help you better understand how to release of the golf club in the downswing.
Stop Getting Stuck
In this video PGA Professional Chris Ryan looks into the term ‘getting’ stuck, explains exactly what this means and then offers you a great way to improve this if you have trouble with push shots or hook shots.
Once you understand how to stop getting stuck you’ll start to hit it solidly and straight by “unsticking” the club.
3 Ways to Improve Your Course Strategy
GOLFPASS coach Martin Chuck from Raven Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona teaches three ways to improve your course management strategy, which is part of his “Level Up” series that helps three different levels of golfers.
In this video PGA Golf Pro Rick Shiels teaches you HOW TO HOLD A GOLF CLUB CORRECTLY and to grip it the correct way to help you hit it straighter, longer, and more consistently.
Use this hold across all your clubs apart from the putter. You can hold the driver this way, irons like this and also your wedges.
This video on how to hold the club correctly is great for new golfers but also a very valuable reminder to established golfers.
If you are looking to learn from the pros, like Rory McIlroy, for example, you are in luck. Sky Sports compiled some of Rory McIlroy’s best golf tips ever into the below video, and they’re perfect for amateur players.
Adam Scott’s swing, analyzed by Claude Harmon.
Well, for me if I could design a golf swing this is what it would look like.
I think Adam Scott has the best golf swing in the world, on any tour.
To me he has the modern, athletic golf swing, so he uses his legs as support better than, really any player that I’ve ever seen other than Tiger Woods.
He makes a beautiful shoulder turn, the upper body coils around a very stable lower body. The thing I love most about Adam’s golf swing is he uses the ground for not only support but for power and speed.
He does a fantastic job of keeping his arms and hands nice as wide away from the top of his head. So when you look at Adam Scott’s golf swing one of the things that Adam does fantastic is he keeps the golf club very much in front of him on the takeaway. Adam loves to hit draws. The club head stays very much in front of his hands, very much in front of his body and as he turns the golf club back, his body is turning with the golf club as opposed to his hands and arms working independently away from his body on his backswing.
If you could copy one thing, off of the ball. There’s no wasted motion. The upper body turns around the lower body and at waist high the golf club is stayed in front of his hands, in front of his legs and he’s turning his upper body around a very stable lower body.
Stay down through impact… Keep your head down… Keep your eyes on the ball… I’m sure you’ve heard them all. In today’s video I’ll show you why this common golf advice is a myth!
To maximize your swing you actually want to be pushing up off the ground as you come through impact. This creates what is known as “parametric acceleration,” giving you extra club head speed and distance.
It will also correct a number of common problems including the chicken wing, dipping through impact, and even pulling your arms up.
