Hey golfers and welcome back to my channel in today’s video we’re going to talk about hip turn or getting your body open through the golf ball wouldn’t it be nice to have swings like the guys I’m pulling up on screen now that hip rotation through the golf ball getting

Very open at impact well there’s a very good chance that you don’t do that right now and number two there’s a very good chance that if you try to do that it could be disastrous and I want to discuss why so that you can start to use

Your hips in the Gulf swing all right guys so before we get started with that if you haven’t done so already please don’t forget to hit the like button hit the Subscribe button let me know in the comments where you’re watching from and let’s get going okay so when we look at

Those videos from the best in the world we’re going to see an impact position where the hips are rotated open shoulders are going to be pretty Square okay so there’s separation now I can nearly guarantee guantee because I see it a lot that if you video your swing on

Camera you might very well see an impact position where your hips are pretty much square okay now it’s not just a case of saying my hips are square I need to open them there’re might be a reason in your go swing I can almost guarantee there is

A reason why you can’t rotate them okay now let’s get into that in a bit of detail if we go to the top of our back swing and our club face is what’s called open okay so up here on the club face the toe is pointed

More down to the ground okay this could be due to a weak grip this could be due to a poor takeaway but there is other videos on my Channel about that stuff right so I have an open face at the top you may have a good face here as well

But in the down swing or transition and this is what I see so much the face will open more okay and this cast or early release is an attempt to actually try and square that face up because watch what happens if I get down into impact with my face wide open what

Do I do to try fix that I will have to go this way to try Square it now I’ve got that impact where I have no shaftline because I’ve had the face open and tried to square it by essentially lengthening The Arc or letting the right

Wrist do this this can be where the elbow separate that club’s getting closer to the ground and might have to come up so there’s so many things in the golf swing can happen from that now let’s imagine if I am in that open face position bearing in mind that body

Rotation opens the club face watch this set up normal don’t do anything with my hands and arms rotate my body you’re going to see that club face well naturally open okay so we know golf’s a game of pluses and minuses rotation opens the face what do you

Think would happen if I get here with a very open face and I think right rotate like the pros banging that ball is going to hit that wall all right so your brain’s clever enough to know I need to make the golf ball go to that Target how am I

Going to do it it knows well I’m in this position if I stop my body from turning right so I come down I let this happen my body says right I’ll shut down I’ll let this catch up I can sort of square that face I know this maybe not

The perfect shot it’s a bit high and weak potentially goes a bit to the right I will shut all this down and let that TR scooping Square the face I cannot not rotate okay so what I want you to do two things we have to do here we have to get

Your Club face in a better delivery position in this down swing and then teach you how to separate your hips from your upper body so let’s discuss the club face first as we go to the top of the back swing so it’s kind of your job to look

At your swing on camera and think about right where is my face opening here is it the takeaway does it not match your spine if it’s here there’s your first protocol top if it’s not kind of 45 Dees here and it’s this way it’s open there’s where you need to focus most of

You might have that but in the down swing it will get to this position which is called last parallel where the club face will not match your spine it’s more than likely going to be this way and that’s where the big problems can come so you have to work on getting that

Position I did a video on this last week about getting from here to there really feeling that face match the spine and all I’m doing from the top here is turning that wrist more into what’s called lead wrist flexion okay so as I do this that is helping me close the f

I like the feeling if I had a glove and a te the tea would point to the ground naturally you wouldn’t be able to and you wouldn’t want to but definitely more down this way okay now here I can literally rotate my body as hard as I

Like hard as my body will let me should I say this way rotate those hips are so open wish I could do that in my swing but I’ve kept the face nice nice and square okay so basically do not put the hips at fault for the fact

That they’re not open it could be the worst thing for you ever to do to try and rotate your hips if your Club face is not in the right position to do so okay so hope this makes sense now nice drill to get the separation and feel

What it is like to open your hips okay I want you to take an alignment stick you can do it without an alignment stick if you like but just a nice guide okay and when you’re here I want you to set up you see just tucks right underneath my tummy there

Lovely right so we’re here in setup we’re going to take the club across our chest now the goal is not to move the club keep my shoulders square if you want to even fight to close them in the swing here we’re going to keep this

And I want you to try and open your hips as much as you possibly can I’m not letting this go I’m actually fighting to get the hips open and you’ll see as I work the club to the right of Target so I’m closing my shoulders and opening my

Hips this would be alongside the down swing drill a lovely impact position to allow you to use your hips okay guys so give it a go it’s two parts it’s a little bit tricky but I just see it day in and day out golfer

Say to me am I not rotating my hips when I show them the video and the lesson and I say yes you’re not but you can’t because the ball will literally go so far to the right so this is a compensation for a per Club face or per

Delivery position in here so improve that so that you can start to really use your hips in the golf swing okay guys thank you so much for watching if you have any questions at all you know that’s what I’m here for thank you so much to all the subscribers
