Jeff a valuable video thank you and thank you for all the new content you have created How about a new video for those of us who are 75 years old and have an 80 to 85 mile an hour swinging speed. Help us to learn how the hip on the down Swing side should be moving correctly. Not so much because he went to generate lots and lots of power but so we don’t do things to hurt that hip. I personally am doing a lot of physical therapy right now so I can do my best to be able to continue to play golf without having to have hip replacement surgery. Many thanks
Spot on! Sub’d for this. As I’m now in my early 50s my ability to rotate is needing a lot of work to maintain. Especially with tight hips from squatting.
Hopefully these help! If you need more help our micro workouts program is an easy add on to your regular workouts, but target a lot of the mobility/movement needs.
This was a super helpful video. I wound up here when I searched for more on internal rotation after watching a video on - believe it or not - Paddy Harrington’s RU-vid channel, in which he explains some of the same things. Paddy’s video plus this one just really made it click. I think this might be the missing piece to correcting my early extension problem. Looking forward to working on this on the range tomorrow.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
Quality piece of instruction, helped me turn a bit more and relieve tension in my left shoulder. It was easier to implement this movement with my driver than my irons, but I'll keep working on it 👍🏼👍🏼
Very good video! You really combine the theoretical swingtechnique with the raw physical body mechanic extremely well. I always thought it was only my legs that had to get stronger but it s both. Fantastic
Great video. One corollary to this that's helped me to load into my trail side without sliding, is that the lead hip must also rotate, in this case down and around towards the ball. If the lead hip bone just collapses back in a straight line towards the trail side, it equals a slide all day long.
Great video! I tried this year's ago and it never worked. There is an important piece of information that I was missing was MY POSTURE was not correct so I could manufacture this feel incorrectly. HIP HINGE is vital for internal hip rotation. If a player watching this just focused on this video it wouldn't automatically complete the picture.
What is the "feel" with the right foot? Is it a clockwise rotation or a pushing forward of the foot? You say to feel it with the inside of the ankle area. So, by rotation of the foot that influences your leg to twist enabling the hip to rotate more.
GEARS 3D motion capture technology, which has 34 sensors attached to various body parts, shows that ALL tour pros do have a slight lateral shift early in the takeaway. It's only 1-2 inches (Rory shifts 2and a half inches) on average, but it is a vital component of the backswing. Because they are rotating at the same time, like you describe, it's hard to see from a 2D face on view, but it IS there. The key is doing it early during the takeaway (before the club is parallel to the ground) and only that 1-2 inches. Combine this with your rotation move and you'll be doing it like a tour pro!
So is the feeling,,, still in ,, the inside of your right heal? Or is the weight more even ,thanks for the clips I'm in the gym using them, feeling stronger ever day ,thanks
I like to keep the feeling on the inside to help keep that trail leg anchored in and allow a better rotation of both the shoulders/trunk and the trail hip. Prevents the tendency to sway laterally in the backswing.
During the backswing, the right hip (among other things) is internally rotating, but what's happening to the left hip? Is the left hip rotatating, either internally or externally, during the backswing? I know the hips will rotate about 45° around the spine, but I am wondering about the internal or external rotation of just the left hip.
