What has been the best tip you have ever had to help you with your golf?
180 degrees.
I'd say 45ish degrees. Although clearly depends on flexibility
Kingsmill?
Are you left handed?
Hmmm. Way too detailed and technical. You lost me at hello.
35 to 45 degrees
about 45 degrees?
Good hip turn: 45-50 degrees?
Keeping your spine angle the same throught the swing is vital. Posture at address must be maintained. Lifting your head straightens the spine and reduces the angle destroying your swing. Watch the pros heads. They hardly move.
Appreciate the bread and apple demonstration… 😂
360 degrees?
0 degrees. My right hip goes back on the backswing and then my left hip goes back in the downswing. I am not rotating or turning.
30 😊😊
So simple and great explanation 👍👍👍
Should the trail hip, be slightly tilted at address to promote rotation? Create some symmetry with shoulder/spine tilt..not too the same degree..
Isn't it less about the fact that the hips aren't round, but more about the fact that the spine isn't running down the centre of the body, it runs down the back, so rotation moves the front of the hips "laterally" around the spine?
This is paramount!!!!!!
"How do you strike the ball so well?"
Me: "Bread"
Start of video … 35-45 degrees hip rotation in back swing is my instinct
45%
Range of 40-60 degrees of pelvic rotation in the backswing.
30° hip… shoulders depends on player
Actually have opposite issue. Was getting to far back on backswing and not able to clear hips on diwnswing.
45 degree turn in the backswing
30%
Im confused
I've been using Liam Robinsons method. Never looked back
Proof is the improvements that Brandon Thompson has made on the DP world
Getting old at 72 but mine go about 30 degrees 😂
The best tip I ever had was to keep 60 to 80% of my weight on my front foot at set up. I tried traditional weight shift, it was a nightmare! I use stack and tilt with some parts of the JV swing with it.Hit some very goy shots today!!
