This is probably the most helpful golf instruction video you will find anywhere. The concept of "turning your hips" can lead to a ton of problems but this shows the correct way to do it very simply. Thanks guys!

This is one of the biggest game improvement techniques you will find! Just remember to keep your chest down over the ball (instead of standing up) when your lead hip pushes back. Between this and becoming aware of my swing path my game has dramatically improved. Thanks for the video!

The title doesn’t lie. Took a break for about a year and handicap went from 7 to 12. Swing felt off and I probably watched nearly 90% of golf videos on internet to fix it 😅. Always thought it was the a tempo or backswing fault etc. But this video literally is the missing piece in the puzzle. Thank you so much

I watched this when it was first posted and a few times since. It was a real eye-opener for me as I used to try to push my right side around in an attempt to turn. Mike's approach is so much easier and, as he explained, removes all the stress on my lower back. It was good watching it again to cement the relevant thoughts in my mind.

Great timing. I have been working on this very move. I tend to sway my hips toward the target too much which leads to the right hip coming forward especially with the driver. I have found that my exaggerated feel needs to be the left hip clearing by pushing back and away from the target . It doesn’t do this on video but it’s the exaggerated anti sway feel I need. Great video. Thanks!

One mistake I’ve been making is not doing enough face on videos. Looking at one recently I noticed the excessive hip thrust. I didn’t understand the linkage with this thrust and the right hip moving forward until this video. I now feel like my hands have room to go down the line vs right field. I have fought blocks especially with the longer clubs for a long time especially swinging fast. I can’t wait to put this into practice.

This may explain why I occasionally "pop" something in my lumbar area (and then can't swing a club for 2-3 days). I do a good job of clearing my lead hip but I am now thinking I might be over-twisting rather than pushing back the hip. Yet another Cogorno-thought to keep in mind 😊

@bjornd.4405 2 жыл бұрын

So far so good! The only thing I´m always missing in these vids is the answer to the question: "How do I get the left hip up and back in the downswing?" My simple answer to this is (after years and years of trial and error), from the end of the backswing, when you are at the top and you feel the pressure on the instep of your left foot, pressure the left foot further down, out (to the left) and behind (to the left heel) while gradually straightening the left leg.

After trying the left hip "back" move for over a couple months, I found that focusing on driving the right shoulder down WILL cause that left hip to get pushed back and the end result is crisp, solid shots without EE. Try it without a ball...the hip will respond to the shoulder dipping down towards the ball as you come into impact - this also assures your hands are close to your body.

Mike Malaska is simply one of the greatest instructors out there. He probably has more knowledge of the way the body should move than a kinesiologist. That one simple move of pushing the hip socket back makes everything fall in line like tumbling dominoes. Many bigger name instructors like Leadbetter and Harmon can't touch this man for knowledge. Or how to impart it. There probably is no man alive that understands movement in a golf swing like Mike Malaska. Genius.
