yes very good vedio … yes very good vedio,this is very athletic move though, if you cant make that turn on a one pivot then use the bump technique where you bump your legs to the left and you hips will follow with a good turn, bu this is how golf was taught with the full hip rotation back then when it was more athletic then today
This guy is nuts. … This guy is nuts. Most weekend golfers to not move their hips towards the target like he shows. Most weekend golfers end up never getting their weight back onto their left side. They stay on their right side, go over the top and then flip at the bottom which leads to a high, pull slice or just a slice.
Look at Hogan and Tiger, they both have a fairly substantial hip slide toward the target before starting the downswing.
look at hogans hips … look at hogans hips shift before they start turning. this is a spin out.
Great illustration … Great illustration Bobby, simple and to the point.
This is a great … This is a great video. Not understanding why there is so much fuss over what he is saying. Makes perfect sense to me. My mishits are pushed shots, and what he is saying will help me keep my club going straight down the target line resulting in my shots going where i want them too.
This is an example … This is an example of a good player not knowing how to teach. He talks about weekend golfers turning their hands over, which virtually NEVER happens in high handicappers.
More important, he is explaining a dangerous swing thought which will stop all progress towards the target. Notably, the instructor himself does a very small, but needed "hip bump" prior to spinning his hips. Without that little bump at 1:51 in the video, his swing wouldn't look so nice and fluid. I like his videos on timing.
That would be a … That would be a spinout, no thanks bud.
Bobby Jones. not … Bobby Jones. not booby jones. lol
He's not wrong. If … He's not wrong. If your hip moves toward the target, bottom of your swing goes forward as well. What you mean is, your abdomen should go toward the target. What you described will cause imbalance and certainly can't be effortless. your arms swivel around your spine. and what is connected to your spine? your hips. remember it's weight shift, not center shift.
This guy could not … This guy could not be more wrong. The left hip should go toward the target and UP. Weight shifts to the outside of the left foot and rotation occurs.
Don't know what the heck he's talking about but he's way wrong.
Lol tell this tip … Lol tell this tip to ben hogan, see how quick he knocks you on the noggin
This seems to go … This seems to go against most instruction which teaches "hip bump". This seems to be preaching hip spin.
Comments so far … Comments so far indicate a dangerous misunderstanding. There are a million methods of swinging a golf club, and this one is eminently valid. It's not a Hogan/Woods swing. It's a Vardon/Goosen swing, right arm powered. The body follows, it does not lead. This video is misleading, to a spin out. In this swing the first move is an attempt to uncock the right elbow, on plane, before any other body motion. That left hip turn is to be allowed, in coordination and response to the right arm.

It's a beautiful method, nearly effortless. The body follows.
Its not an arm … Its not an arm swing,what happends,when you move your hip to left ? you take away your arms, all good players do this,the downswing start from ground and up, the hip is more up against the sky, not a bump to the left, as a first move….
Try to TURN your left hip to left hard on the way down (as a first move down),and see what happends, no arms ,no hand swing at all,you will be surprised….
See footage of … See footage of Hogan, Woods, to name two decent golfers who both have lateral movement in the hips. How can you get your weight to the left without moving to the left side? JMO…
i do agree with …
i do agree with some of the comments. The hip should first move towards the target, not sway, but sort of “bump”. It help me to actually drop my club and right arm into the “slot” in order to swing from the inside. When the hip rotate too soon or “clear” too early, unless you are an extraordinary atlthlete, you could end up over the top……
not sure why he suggested that, he hit like a great golfer…
ben hogan actually …
ben hogan actually had slight hip slide although it seemed dramatic. but if you see his swing, his head still remains in position meaning his upper body stayed behind and caused greater tilt as with most good ball strikers. and that is NOT very easy to do. but for average golfers, his method is very good to get the correct feel. if you want to add more power, you need to have the fundamentals down first. I personally find Booby Jones’s swing much butter like.
Great tip thank u …
Great tip thank u it helped me today.
actually,hogan had …
actually,hogan had a pronounced hip slide,tiger not so much.Tiger dips his head and then snaps his left leg for clubhead speed.
I think he makes …
I think he makes sense. But difficult to execute.
I found this advice …
I found this advice great for me since my problem is too much lateral movement and not enough hip rotation at the start of the downswing and then my club comes way too much from the inside.If there is correct weight shift back to the left side there will be lateral movement
while I know that …
while I know that this is great stuff, I must agree that it’s for better players. I have been suggesting to anyone that asks advice of me that they put correct hip actions into their swings – but no one is physically capable of doing it. It’s beyond the average golfer to develop this hip rotation, sometimes, sadly.
This guy is …
This guy is basically advocating an arms only swing. Take your clubs and run. Your handicap will thank you for it. All better golfers start with a small bump of the left hip which drops the club and gets the weight shifted to the left. Without this small move, the club won’t be able to drop into the correct plane in a 2-plane golf swing.
I disagree. there …
I disagree. there is a small amount of shift towards the target at first. Then the left hip moves out of the way. all pga players have lateral hip movement. You can see it if you draw a line down on their swing and watch their position.
