Wow this is what I needed. I wasn’t letting my hip turn enough! Now I’m back thanks a bunch !!!!

[everettking]

Outstanding examples of my problems, it’s like you been watching my swing. Excellent work in helping solve to hip movement. So now let’s it time for me to get to working on it. Keep up the good work.

You're a gifted teacher, thank you

This came at a perfect time. I’m taller and was having a lot of lower left sided back pain from twisting instead of pushing my right hip back. I’m so glad I found this video because it has helped a ton. Thank you!

[JimGomperts-ho]

Great job explaining one of the most important parts of the backswing, I’ve been struggling with swaying the hips trying to turn them level (impossible to be consistent), this is fantastic and it really works, thank you!!

First video I ever watched that gave me immediate success. Practiced this move 15 minutes. Changed my golf swing.

[roeydaz]

I completely agree. I played a poor round the other day and on introspection as to why I swung poorly I realised exactly what your talking about. I was too stiff in the knees and as a result a poor hip turn. So your video is great reinforcement to what I believe my problem was.

Your in-depth of the golf swing really is an eye opener Alex, you are miles ahead of the other coaches on you tube! But the drill with the wall - I would advise your viewers not to have a golf club in their grasp when doing this drill, as one can end up with to steep a backswing - resulting in them chopping down on the ball on their follow through! I am a pensioner and I have a shorter back swing now, but I am hitting the ball longer/further now due to me having 60% of my weight on my left foot (right handed golfer) I imaging myself/swinging/opening like a spring gate which opens and shuts repeatedly and fits back into it's latch! Yeah the pelvis has a lot to do with my swing, I will try this drill out as I think I might be standing to tall at my set up! Thanks Alex - AGAIN!

Two words. Wind Up. Changed my whole concept of the swing! Thanks!

Excellent info, used this feel yesterday and it corrected many of my swing flaws.
Im 75 and shot 74 yesterday, best club ball contact in a very long time.
Thanks

Great explanation, what your describing is a " hip hinge" not a squat. The glutes move back, not towards the floor. That hinge lets me rotate or spiral from the ground up. For years i had a restricted flat rotation on the way to the top.

[adrianrojas-slww]

This makes great sense.Thanks I’ll get back to you after I practice this.

[triumphantdave]

This was super helpful. Its easy to watch videos and hear people say turn your hips. Having someone tell you where to aim your hips while turning them has been a game changer for me. Thank you!!!

[benume]

Wonders will never cease! I discovered this method by trial and error! I noticed that leaving my hands to drop by my side meant I had to sink more. I am 6ft 2 in tall and did not get fitted clubs so makes sense! Thanks for validating my discovery! And I will incorporate your no turn philosophy to improve consistency of strike! Cheers! Subscribed as well!

I was taught the “X factor” thing in the late 90s/early 00s when I was a kid. Now that I’m older(don’t play as much and weigh a bit more) I find it more difficult to make a full turn and reach the “correct” top of my swing. I just looked at a recent video and my back leg/knee has basically no movement. This really helped. Excited to test it out.

[jamesdickerson]

Like this move a bunch. I feel like I can use my legs to spring through the shot. I'm gonna practice this from now on. Thanks!

[steveking]

Your descriptions make a lot of sense. Well done!

[PauloG]

I tried this on my simulator yesterday and was immediately hitting clean straight shots. The main thing was I felt stable, solid on my feet, and therefore in control. I am going to use this feeling, sitting down with the pelvis, from now on. Thanks. PS, I wish you were UK based, I would love to have a series of lessons with you.

[rafaelherrera]

It makes a lot of sense, I like your videos they are very simple and logical.

[rogerking]

Really great info. I don't need to watch any other vids. now. THANK YOU!
