Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Jimmy I’m with Tropic canana Golf and today’s headline is how to move your hips in the golf swing and it’s not the way you think everybody has a scenario of oh I have to do this or I have to do

This or I have to rotate like this I’m going to break it down for you it’s way way easier than you think coming up right now okay so what’s the big secret what’s the big secret of how to move your hips in the golf swing everybody’s got a special

Way of how to rotate rotate rotate to me rotate sounds like this this is rotating my hips the problem is look what happens to the club when I rotate my hips the club goes way out here now you pull down that’s why you slice it or you turn and

You close the face and then you hook it into the street how about no rotation how about keeping your hips completely quiet that’s what I’m thinking about I turn back here my right hand waves to the camera I bring my arms down and I keep my lower body completely quiet it’s

Going to rotate you’re not going to do this it’s impossible to hit a ball like this you’re going to come through here and you’re going to rotate but it’s not this way you don’t don’t want the club going this way so I think I get here

Wave to the camera from here I just bring it down no extra rotation it’s going to happen naturally the same way when you throw a ball you rotate your hips have you ever thought when you throw a ball how do I rotate my hips absolutely not or hitting a tennis ball

You’ve never thought about that just because it happens so when you get here just think about coming down and keeping this quiet the whole thing is don’t think with your hips don’t think about rotating your hips just think this and it will happen naturally as soon as you start putting emphasis on

Rotating you’re going to hump the goose or whatever they call it e who’s that hey hi how are you I was wondering if I could play through you or play with you or something don’t be ask just go ahead and play through I don’t want to play

With you but you can play through oh bro it looks like you’re having so much fun I want to play with the fun no okay let’s go te it up join now I’m a single walking you’re a single what’s your hand I just put my stuff on the cart if you

Didn’t mind you’re a single but now you jumped on my cart yeah you didn’t have nobody there okay I’m trying to help people suck faster okay I like it if you didn’t know anyways my name is Manolo Manolo hi nice to meet you Manolo what

Do you do here are you an employee no no no I just Mo just Mo I’m not an employee your name is Mo or you Mo I’m on the mo mo oh mo the grass is it Manola and mo for short or no bro you’re you need to

Take it easy whatever you’re doing so tell me what you think about in your hip rotation I actually heard you talking about the hips and I don’t think anything about that at all you don’t think anything no so just keep them kind of quti and I think take a really good

Back swing keep my sternum in front of the ball and smack the back of the ball and keep my head down a little bit like that’s it I don’t think about hips really okay I like that kind of exactly what I just said do people think about

Their hips yeah there’s a whole thing how to rotate your hips in the golf thing oh that’s not it I mean I don’t know I think about it okay we got a par 4 here Mo Jays it’s Par Four okay hitting a driving iron I like it yeah this is a

Cool Club I like very aristocratic yeah it’s a gangster Club no problems I like it a lot good hey you’re pretty good Mo I’ve been known to smack that a little bit you play often I know how to smack that I play some golf put it in play I know in

Golf to put it in play that’s it’s the most important part you’ve been watching my videos haven’t you actually I just met you I never known you okay so I turn back wave to the camera bring my arms down and keep my lower body quiet I’m not thinking of

Rotating I’m trying to actually keep them without rotating I’m just thinking about swinging not thinking about my hips keep the hips quiet wow wow can’t hit that any straighter I like it for the next person perfectly straight I love it and I think people are going to be like oh well uh

You know I’m going to lose distance this I didn’t lose any distance there at all it’s perfectly straight and fairly long don’t be I can promise you this accuracy accuracy killed the cat cat cuz if you are not accurate you can’t shoot and kill the cat you know

What I mean wow what do you drink it’s Friday hey that’s actually this is actually a really good tip for Friday because tomorrow you’re going to go out and play or this weekend you’re going to go out and play if you’re not under snow and you’re going to get out

There and you’re going to start thinking of rotating your hips how about keeping your hips completely quiet this weekend except maybe Saturday night at the club oh move them oh move them oh it is a holiday it’s not oh Manny Manny look at the pelican fly Pelican

They’re on day bro they’re on their first day you saw it Saturday night it’s Friday night they were just scoping out the fountain they oh there’s another pelic fly Pelican go oh oh there he goes there he goes there goes he’s up the tree he flew wow a lot of nature out

Here in SeaWorld it’s very romantic how did you get in my car I tell you I sto oh oh look at you he almost kicked the field goal Mo that’s your name right Mo yes and Curly MO all right Mo what do you got here I

Don’t know what does it say there 150 yards plus 10 160 plus another 10 to a blue flag is 170 you’re going to play this at 170 yards well that’s what the flag is doesn’t mean I want to do that okay um here’s what I’ll do I’m going to cut a golf ball

So I’m going to take one more Club so I’ll take a seven iron instead of an eight and then I’m just going to hit a good controlled cut shot that seems like the right thing to do hey sounded good feels right you’re right 170 yards but you got really you

Don’t want to fly it more than 160 exactly so a cut is going to go a lot shorter than a draw so I’m going to take some off by hitting that shape of a shot I mean it’s really in depth well tell me how you hit a cut Mo I just don’t really

Release the snot out of my right hand I kind of just hold on I just kind of come back and just kind of make Square contact all right so let me see that right hand again so a cut you take it back in your back swing and you come

Through and you just you hold on yeah I just kind of that’s a cut swing hold on now show me a draw or like a hook type now something else is going to be like you come here and you are doing all this and you turn your hand over and now it’s

All turned over where your palm is facing the sky and all that I’m trying to just keep it with it you’re G to hold on it’s like smacking a little like Friday all right hold on that’s what trino says I just hold on for dear

Life I hold on for dear life and I hit a beautiful little cut does he say that of course there you go hold on for dear life that’s why he starts at 70 yards left and it comes back all right Mo don’t hit me in the

Face with this uh he was Nast bank shot he was betting people with no money in his pocket that’s that’s very [Laughter] Latino okay hold on hold on hold on hold on I’m standing on some let me get into it now I know very Latino and go ready action better

Latin okay let’s hold it up okay good okay it’s a little short I didn’t quite hit it it’s I was a little honestly afraid of that tree kind of oh I I I was afraid of that tree are you kidding me so we’ll see what happens up

There you know what there’s a little bit of wind that you didn’t take into consideration either yeah I’m feeling that now but hey keep it moving okay here’s mine right in the dead center of the Fairway do you mind uh backing that card up just I’m so sorry please thank

You I know I’m new out here yeah how’d you get in my card anyway I told you I was walking all right so I have 150 exactly to a back pin which is 160 now I don’t want to hit at60 yards so I’m going to take a nine

Iron uh I’m going to take a nine iron and try to land it in the middle of the green there’s 150 right there I have 140 + 10 is 150 now I’m going back to the drawing board okay a nineiron will get me 155 if I hit it perfect I don’t want to

Hit it perfect I don’t even want to get it to the pin I want to hit it to the middle of the green if not the front so I’m going to take a pitching wedge and swing it smooth and hope that it gets somewhere on the

Green I have no room right the pin is right I have more room left so I’m going to aim a little bit left kind of almost at the bunker and turn back and keep my hips completely still or feel like I do they’re still going to rotate but I’m

Not going to think about rotation at all I’m just going to swing it and keep my head down wave to the camera my hips rotated the ball goes perfectly straight and far enough and I’m just off the green where I’m putting no problem marvelously struck golfing

Ball I like it it’s a pitching wedge it wasn’t enough CL but I knew it starting off I just didn’t want to get in trouble by hitting one deep and then what I’m off the back of the green chipping over and you haven’t done that it’s a whole

Thing yeah it’s not worth it also we’re finding out you were right there’s wind up here I can feel it and when it’s 50 some degrees the ball doesn’t travel like it does in summertime there’s a whole thing like factors factors play a factor factors play a fact factors play

A fact oh I’m even on the green I thought I was short of the green yeah you’re just in the shadow you hit a good shot trying to think but nothing happens all right all right there’s yours here mhm you’re just off the green but nothing a little wedge can’t fix no

A little baby wedge this gu what did I do am I sorry my putter this guy this guy kind of looks like you wow where’d you get that that’s really cool looking it’s yeah amig Toya from the what you kill my father prepared to I come for Revenge all right it’s

From beauty in the Beast I mean Sleeping Beauty I mean Father of the Bride yeah keep trying you’re going to get it third times the charm all right what do you got here I have a 56 degree wedge okay and you have 25 yards yeah it

Looks like about that okay so I’m just going to put the ball like middle back of my stance just come here and Chip and release come here and Chip and release chip and release I’m just going to Chip and release to hinge it hold it rotate

The body hinge it hold it rotate the body okay and let’s you know hit a good Chip Shot it’s the only thing I think of I got a line hit it over the line I know my technique is hinge hold and rotate the body that’s all I’m going

To try to do get it on the green J man let’s see if we can execution the rmo good good and good very nice very nice okay Bo listen I’m listen make good contact whatever do it right do a lot of good things right put a put on your hand try

And make four make no more than five I think the biggest thing is people are thinking about making birdies all the time mm if you can consistently putt for par your scores are going to be great and it doesn’t take a lot to putt for

Par you just have to keep the ball on the grass and another thing is you have to be mindful of where the ball is in your competitor’s ball and don’t step in their line but since you’re new here we’re not going to talk about that you

Know what I mean seor I would really hope that I did not influence or affect your golf ball I did my best to stay under your line hey do you see that Jacuzzi up there oh show them the jacuzzi looks about yay big yeah and there’s people in there it’s Friday

Afternoon they’re enjoying a cold beer Valentina it’s nice to see you so my goal is to hit it in the jacuzzi but I don’t want to make a splash I want to just Cruise in I like it just Cruise in no splashing I like it so I’m just going

To roll it let it do its thing and just trickle into the jacuzzi trickle in trickle in keep your head down and trickle it in let’s see it it just oh my God I know you just went you went by Valentina over there I cannot believe how fast that was what H

What are we putting on here well the greens are quick I was under the impression you would see more break but it’s okay sometimes you don’t so based off that I’m going to play a lot more break and a lot less speed I mean these are really fast greens right now yeah they’re

Purest that’s all right I still have a par Putt and if I make a bogey I make a bogey it’s not the end of the world I have played a lot more break I see that it’s pretty quick so let’s see if we can’t roll one in or just get it to tap

In okay tap it in and get it to tap it get it to tap it that’s a great analogy get it to tap it a good set go that’s fast too get it to taping get it into tapping that’s good so great putt good job tap it in boom that’s it

Okay good five boogies are good it’s whatever man it’s whatever it’s whatever it’s fun it’s fine it’s good all right now I know that this is super fast let’s see it and a lot of break let’s see it so I’m going to show you my little method of when

There’s a l of break and it’s really fast I feel that if I get closer to the club head I can control it better it’s not so high and wobbly so you can laugh all you want but when I have a putt like this I take enough break I get here and

I get here way down here like one hand on the grip and one hand on the shaft and I just tap it I know it looks weird but I feel it and I I can control it better but I still keep my head down oh here it comes oh oh boost and boost

Oh that’s pretty good see it works you get down a little lower you can feel the weight of the head oh and do it ladies and gentlemen when you go out this weekend tomorrow the next day whatever it is whenever you’re watching this remember that the hips don’t lie

And if you do too much with them your ball’s going to do too much your swing’s going to do too much keep it simple and keep the hips quiet that’s all I got I hope this helps you uh Mo you got anything to say yeah I’m picking up your

Head cover for you I don’t want to make cover might be yours loose it looks a little bit like you looks a lot like mine but this one’s yours got it thank you for watching ladies and gentlemen I hope this helps

  1. Nice work. If you are not thinking about your hips, does this mean you are also not thinking about bumping them out at the top of your backswing towards the target(you mentioned you do this in previous videos).

  2. Ive also been having a real problem with coming over the top. When I purposely try and keep the clubhead behind my hands on the downswing, it feel REALLY awkward and only results in bad hits. feels really unnatural. do you have any cures for this? drills? thoughts?

  3. I’m trying to think of a pivot axel. Like having a spike from the ground and through my heart. I need to rotate around that, no matter how (and stay stable, no lateral move)

  4. thanks for all your advice over so many different aspects of the game. But the most important question I have for you are your caps available online at all?😂

  5. Another great lesson, Jimmy! Love your hip explanation cos yesterday was the day I felt like I tried to do too much with my hip during my downswing and it made my shot end up on the left on my pins most of the time. But most of my problems was three putts from 15ft to the holes. Any tips on how to improve on making two putts? Thanks Jimmy!

  6. Great lesson, pulling the club appropriately raises your left shoulder which seems to rotate your hips naturally anyway.

  7. Really laughed Jimmy, I'm off to play in one hour I'll be non hipping all the way around. Where can I buy the Man head cover lol

  8. What the fuck do I do with my hands!? I’ll slice, hook, dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge 😂😂

  9. That business about rotating is true – another killer for high handicappers like me is trying to do the "lag thing " it messes up more people +++ !

  10. Shot tracer please Jimmy. Really need the shot shape off the club…🏌🏿‍♂️⛳️😎🇺🇸🐊

  11. I think this is the way golf should be taught. It is almost impossible for a new or average golfer to emulate the "perfect" golf swing. People moving and rotating all over the place is what gets people in trouble. I tell everyone to go watch the Tiger Woods slow motion Nike swing commercial. Nothing is moving that doesn't need to move. Arms move and body will follow naturally.

  12. How can you hit a 9 iron 155? My clubs must suck because my swing speed is up there with a lot of golfers but the distance with all my clubs is horrible.

  13. This is a great channel, stumbled across it by accident but everything you say makes so much sense. Keep em comin!!

  14. I remember when you used to steal quarters from public phones back in the 90’s and buy tres flores with the blood money I always knew you were better than that
