I always thought my issue was that I lacked flexibility in my hips. I tried this secret move of straightening my lead leg in the downswing and low and behold I have discovered how to properly clear my hips. After all of these years of taking lessons and struggling this has been the solution to my problem. To say I am happy to have found this video is an understatement. Thank you Chris!!!

Nice video Chris. I like the pump drill especially because it gives the hips a primer move. also like your demo on what happens when you do not use hips and get the arms all stuck and no extension. My problem is this. Thanks.

Hi Chris it seemed in the beginning of the video you were advocating a slight forward turn of the hips in the beginning of the swing also (something you covered in detail in "How to compress your iron shots"). But when you demonstrated at the end, I was not able to detect that in use. Can you please clarify (possibly with a demo) how/if the initial forward turn should be incorporated into a full iron swing along with the sequence you are teaching here? Thanks!!

Chris, I am having a hard time keeping my right hip from firing too soon in the downswing, and this is causing my arms to lag behind like you show in video. any drills or thoughts that I can practice or do to slow down the firing of the right hip and let the club get in front then fire the hips? thanks as always, wen

Chris, would it be accurate to say, in the golf swing (right handed golfer), the left hip moves backwards and the right hip stays in line? This is opposite of the baseball swing where the right hip moves forward and the left hip stays in line. As a baseball player I struggled with this for years not understanding why there was little room for my hands in the hitting area of the downswing. I somehow discovered this by observing the left foot position as seen at 4:04 in your video. It occurred to me the foot position was a by product of the left hip moving backwards.

Yo Chris! As one moves laterally on the downswing as you show in your video...IMMEDIATELY after doing that should not one focus on pushing out with their left foot thus straightening their left leg?

Hi aadamoni I would personally encourage it, although only a small amount at set up, would still want to have the hips move a little laterally towards the target during the downswing

hi Horatio Lee difficult to say exactly without seeing the swing but try to allow your trail shoulder to move closer to your trail hip, this will hopefully give you more 'side bend' during the downswing and should help you keep your head centred

Hi Chris ! I love your videos and your drills. However, I don't specially agree with this explanation of the clearing of the hips. This technique, apparently thought by butch Harmon to Tiger and later, even more exaggerated by Como, will perfectly fit for some golfers. I mean, golfers with some good flexibility in their hip joints. If you look at bubba Watson, hunter Mahan, Nicolas Colsaert, they don't have that much of weight transfer and they don't rotate on their lead leg. They have more centered swing, even more for Bubba who stay on the back leg with his driver. For me, the clearing of the hip is a sort of consequence of the hole body movement. If your body is not so flexible, or depending on your morphology, you will prefer to start your downswing in a way or another. This will also depend on on the way you make your backswing (more or less vertical, one piece takeaway vs 2 plane, etc...). The most important is what you said about swing plane. The most important is to the club in the right plane in order to have a natural force that lead the club in the correct path without interfering with your hands. Rhythm, sequence, synchronisation will be the key here. What you showed will be great for may be half the players, but not for the other half. For the other half, they should focus on take away, posture and good rythm. Mickelson is also concerned even if ha manage to practice the move as he is coach by butch harmon. But he has better results when he doesn't shift his weight as much.

For the weight shift to the lead side, do you push off the trail foot in the downswing close to last parallel? My weight is always stuck on the trail side.
@1b0o0
8 жыл бұрын
+D Waldron No, you really need to push with your lead side. Focus on putting the pressure on the lead toes. Same as if you were stepping on a bug or something, whatever suits you. ;) The trail side just follows the lead side, so the trail foot and leg just roll following the momentum that the lead side activates. If you rely on rolling your trail side towards the front you will never do a proper weight shift. Hope this helps.

I have a problem with slicing my driver, I don't do it with my irons at all. I know it is the club face open at impact and the pro at my club has said to rotate my wrists at the start of the downswing like when you rev a motorbike. This does sometimes work but I know that I should not have to do this anyway, I don't want to constantly be worrying about rotating my wrists to much or to little. Can you pls help me. Thanks.
@ChrisRyanGolf

Hi Dec Grogan difficult to say without seeing the swing but sounds to me as if your pro is spot on with his advice. He is likely talking about the wrist flexion/extension. It may well be that for a while you have to conciously have this feel as you are probably un intentionally moving the wrist in the opposite way, this 'feel' is most probably jsut to neutralise the wrist.
