Using your hips in the golf swing

One of the most common questions I hear from my students is, "How do I use my hips in the golf swing?" While this is somewhat of a broad topic, it can be a trouble spot for many players given the variety of lower-body swing faults that exist; golfers may struggle with sway/slide patterns, early extension, a lack of rotation at impact, and so forth.

Thankfully, I have found this walkthrough useful for players looking to better understand how we interact with the ground AND how to train the proper lower-body patterns. To do this, we will use (1) a key checkpoint in transition and a couple of different "feels" related to the timing/rhythm of our pressure shift.

Overall, we want to increase the awareness of how we load the lower body so that we can use rotation to improve sequencing, timing, and our overall swing consistency.
