The Relationship Between Hip Turn and Early Extension
In his post round interview, Tiger Woods discussed how poor load into his hip can cause him to early extend in his swing. Though some players excel with the early extension swing characteristic, it limits consistency for many others.
Dave Phillips elaborates on the relationship between hip turn and early extension and shares how our Lower Quarter Rotation test can evaluate if limitation in hip turn is an underlying cause.

How to Figure Out Your Golf Handicap
A golfers handicap is determined by two factors, which are the course rating and the slope of the golf course. Subtract the course rating from a golf score, multiply by 113 and divide by the slope, and finally multiply by .96 to find a handicap with help from a professional golf instructor in this free video on figuring out a golf handicap.
Should Your Hips Be Level At Impact?
How should the hips be oriented at impact is a question we get all the time. Should they be tilted? Should they be level? The right or wrong perception of this important element of impact could be the difference between a solidly struck shot or a weak one.
In this video, we aim to show you the right orientation of the hips at impact and why it should happen for you like it does for the best golfers on the planet.

Ben Hogan’s Magic Elbow Move
This Ben Hogan Magic Elbow Move comes from his book Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf.
More specifically, in the Stance section, Ben Hogan discusses the importance of tucking in the trail elbow to allow it to stay glued to his side” in the golf swing.
Ben Hogan’s “elbow tucking” setup serves many important purposes:
1. It allows the golf club to travel on the same path every single time for a consistent, automatically repeating golf swing with amazing golf ball striking.
2. It creates an automatic wrist hinge and stores up power in the trail arm in the backswing – for powerful golf ball striking.
3. It stores power and lag on the downswing – preventing casting and early extension in the process and opening up room to hit really clean golf shots.
4. It allows the trail arm to powerfully FIRE through the golf ball after impact – sending all of your energy through the ball without wasting any power and creating amazing golf ball striking feelings.
5. It prevents slices and ultimately fixes the slice because the elbow staying tucked prevents the club from swinging over the top in the downswing.
6. It helps keep the lead, left arm straight in the golf swing for crispy, clean contact and improve your golf ball striking.
7. It allows for EFFORTLESS POWER because of the trail arm loading I mentioned earlier.
8. It promotes a proper inward hand path and prevents golfers from lifting their arms increasing consistency and power and improving golf ball striking.
