Easy Way To Improve Your Golf Swing 👉 https://youtu.be/7absEhe3MME

The reason why you might be struggling to open up the hips and the downswing is quite simply all to do with this test I’m about to show you and it’s the disassociation test can you get the disassociation this separation between the lower and the upper body take your

Hands and place them either side of the shoulders like so and set up as if you at the golf ball and from this position here all you’re going to do is see if you can maintain this posture angle here with the upper body keeping the shoulders nice and still but just

Rotating the hips either side and twisting the hips either side like so if you’re someone who can do this then you will be able to open up those hips in the downswing but for those of you whove clicked onto this video really struggling with this concept you will

Find that you’ll probably be doing this motion here which is what we call Poor disassociation that’s fine we just got to figure out and understand how this works in the golf swing how this should work in the golf swing and why it’s so important and I’m also going to be

Including a simple three-step drill you can do to get this effortless power get this rotation as much as we possibly can without affecting the shot outcome seeing the consistency and more distance from this so for those of you who are new to the channel my name is Harry PJ golf professional transforming golfers

Now and when we struggle to get the keeps firing out the way having this sort of PA disassociation in our golf game what we’ll tend to notice a lots of players do is they’ll swing up the top as normal but then really try and open up those hips and fire those hips out

The way but because we can’t open up the hips we can’t separate them from this upper body the upper body follows and this is what happens here we almost cast and go over the top on the outside and then end up cutting across the golf ball

So we see those two outcomes of of that slice or the pull shots to the left so golfers that really struggle to open up the hips and the golf swing SE get this separation taken place we’ve got to find a way to get this club traveling back

Down allowing the club to fall naturally down its normal plane as opposed to getting too far over the top because when we get this too far over the top motion here from the hips firing in our shoulders following because we struggle to get that disassociation in our swings

And our golf games then it becomes very difficult to gain that consistency so let’s dive in to the three simple step drill first off you’re going to take the club away like so and I want you to gather the feeling that when you swing up to the top having your hands either

Side like so is that your right shoulder is going to be twisting upwards Towards the Sky as your right hip is going to be twisting towards the wall behind you a lot of golfers when they get this sort of almost two connected position very very tense like so at the start of the

Golf swing they’ll move and add the pressure in the golf swing onto the trail side like this here and they’ll get very Lateral with the shoulder play it makes it very difficult for us then to return back in this motion like so because if we stay here we’re going to

Struggle to hit that golf ball right so Hands Across the shoulders like so this Trail shoulder here is going to move upwards and a good indication for this now is this lead shoulders pointing more towards the ball at the golf ball as we’re twisting this hip towards the wall

Behind you like this motion here for step two now and this is how we’re going to get this motion taking place in the dung allowing the club to fall and keeping it on its natural plane whilst getting this extra effortless power as well the whole reason behind firing the

Hips opening up the hips in the golf swing is to get more speed get more power get this effortless movement taking place so all I’m going to get you to do from here is we’ve got this twisting motion taking place up to the top and then from here now we’re going

To add a little squat going downwards towards the ground like so and there’s a reason for this for every force acting on a stationary object there’s always going to be an equal and opposite Force reacting upon it Isaac’s thirdd law of motion so what happens is if we wanted

To jump upwards what do we do to start off with we squat down into the ground we squat down into the ground to create this pressure to create this Force so then we can react and push back upwards like so and that’s how the golf swing should work especially for those of you

Who struggle to get this separation this disassociation in your golf game so we’re twisting up to the top we’re getting this right shoulder working upwards the right hip working towards the wall behind us and from this motion here we’re going to allow ourselves just to maintain this position here as if

We’re still at the top of the Swing but we’re going to squat down like so adding this pressure in to the ground so what’s going to happen now is the sensations we’re going to be pushing back upwards like so and when we push back upwards we

Don’t want to push away from the ground like this we don’t want push away from the golf ball I mean we want to be pushing upwards and through to the targets I lost a little bit of balance there doing this so it’s back up here squatting down and then we’re pushing up

With the as again chest working towards the Target and have a look at this when I do this here I’m squatting down and then I’m turning pushing back upwards getting the chest to face towards our Target so after doing a couple of moves doing this we’re turning up the top

Squatting down pressing up and getting the chest working towards the target how does this look when we come to hitting a few shots doing this how does it look using a golf club so I’ve got an A here just to get us started off with if you

Don’t want to go to something like a four or five iron it’s much easier to get this correct if we go for something quite high lofted in the bag so I’ve got an A here which I do the majority of my drill Swings with so for number one all

I’m doing here is I’m not thinking about anything else in my gol swing once I’ve got into that posture and setup position ready to go I’m just feeling my right shoulder being a right handed golf is going to go upwards Towards the Sky as my lead shoulder because of this I’m

Feeling it in this right shoulder here by the way but as a visual perspective my lead shoulder is coming now underneath my chin and facing towards that golf ball as my right hip is continuing to twist towards the wall behind me when to stop is quite simply

When our back faces towards the target when our back you can see that is facing towards the target we don’t want to overdo this motion here because then we start to tilt this way and get a bit stuck and have to react and go this way

We want to keep nice and stable doing this and all we’re thinking about is this Trail shoulder working upwards as the trail hip is working behind us and away from the golf ball towards the wall behind us so we’re just swinging upwards in this position here we’re working

Everything together all in one no separation going on between the two everything’s working all in one motion to the top of the Swing here and when to stop is when the back is facing towards the target so for step two as we’re up to the top of the swing in this position

Here we’re allowing this pressure this press this squatting motion taking place into the ground like so we’re holding this position though at the top of the swing and the reason is when we hold this position here the hips don’t fire so we’re not going to go over the top

Like so the shoulders don’t fire the arms and Club fall naturally to the ground so when the club is falling naturally to the ground it’s staying on this neutral plane it’s not going anywhere near as far on the outside so when we do this again those two points

All in one motion up to the top then squatting down you can see there the club is wanting to fall and for step three now we’re allowing ourselves to push upwards away from the golf ball getting this chest working to towards the target the key thing to remember

With this is to allow the club to fall naturally and allow the arms to stay nice and relaxed we don’t want everything dead tense here because it’s very easy for us to start to revert back on the outside getting this hip to turn everything begins to follow whereas if

We can get to the top and allow the squat in motion here relaxing the arms allow the club to fall as we start to push back up and almost get the club working in an opposite direction this club head itself is working towards the ball as our body is pushing away from

The golf ball and moving towards our Target with the chest being towards the target as the goal for us well it’s going to be much easier to get that effortless power effortless swing as opposed to really trying to force these hips out the way so swinging to the top

Fill in this Trail shoulder working upwards as the trail hit Works back backwards and from there we’re feeling this squatting motion relaxing the arms we’re pushing upwards like so allowing the chest to finish through towards the Target and you can see there just a great little

Indicator for you that all of you out there with poor disassociation who struggle to open up those hips in the downswing can do this move because watch this get to this point here as we start to push back off look at this my shoulders and my hips on the same line

So that’s a great indicator for us that actually this is going to work for you this will work for anyone whether you struggle with opening up the hips or not this swing move here is going to allow you to naturally get the club to fall back on plane get those nice strikes

Again because you coming on a much better angle of attack angle of approach and see much better outcomes much further but mainly straighter golf shots for for those of you who would like to see more content like this I’d highly recommend checking out this video over here which actually simplifies that
