2 Drills That Will IMPROVE Your Ball Striking INSTANTLY

[@SDGolfGuy]

As a student of Adam's, the moment you feel that hip bump lock, and your trail elbow pass your stomach, its guaranteed going to be the best, most compressed perfect flight you've ever seen. Dude is a magician.

[@ericleibee7050]

This hip bump is an absolute game changer. I noticed it in another video you posted. I've been using it the last month or so and it has made a world of difference in my ball striking. I'm compressing the ball with ball then divot plus shaft lean. I have struggled for years trying to clear my hips and keep hip depth, but I couldn't because my hips were sliding forward (towards the target), causing my lead leg to sag through impact. When you bump your hips at address, you can clear your hips naturally and allow you to post up on the lead leg and cover the ball. Best golf tip ever!!!! Fantastic!!

[@GONADSable]

I agree totally it's a game changer

[@tanderson9115]

Love the Video! You always talk about the Hip Bump, but the extra explanation to the student was so helpful❤

[@PorzakGolf]

We always love discussing the hip bump because it isnt talked about enough in the golf world!

[@patkilger9141]

The light just came on. Thank you!

[@peterreynolds1825]

One of the best instructors on the internet if not the best. These drills are gold. Thank you for the incredible content you deliver. Everyone should be learning from you. 👍

[@PorzakGolf]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much! 🙏

[@Lubo-qd2zs]

One of, if not thee best channel on KZbin for golf tutorials. Funny how hitting golf balls with left foot forward shown in the drills is so much easier. Can I ask what the best way to start the downswing is? After watching one of your previous videos on getting club out in front, I've been focusing on what feels like initiating the downswing with my arms then rotating through once trail elbow gets to what feels like the right hip. Cheers

[@realcap2010]

Adam, you have done it again. Been suffering from the dreaded slide-flip for years. Went to range yesterday and crushed it. 71 yrs young, 9 hc. Thank you, you are ‘da bomb!!!

[@vikfm8655]

I appreciate the simplicity of your drills, along with a clear explanation of the mechanics at work.

[@phildieter6872]

Getting a better understanding of how to “normalize” the finishing on the left side. Plus the rear pocket takes care of the turn. Helping me get rid of the flipping that is never consistent.

[@mattstottle1608]

Great information. I think wanting to move my weight left has kept me falling backwards for the past year. In a short amount of time this has helped my compression a ton. Thank you.

[@miketownes7207]

I've been following and using your teaching method for over several months. Your swing techniques have improved my consistency in my golf game. My iron play is solid, but still working on the consistency for my driver.

[@PorzakGolf]

Great job! We will be releasing more driver videos soon!

[@MrRwebb1983]

Great swing to watch right there!

[@leemartin1122]

Wow this explains a lot of my problem, I used to slide/bump my hips and have struggled. The front leg "post" idea gives me a clear idea of proper hip movement - thanks.

[@PorzakGolf]

Happy to help!

Awesome video, thank you for your always excellent instruction.

[@PorzakGolf]

I appreciate that!

[@petersanders3402]

Great video. Thank you. Cheers

[@RomanEmpire16]

Now!! It all makes sense i been struggling with figuring out why you don't promote any lateral movement on the dwn swing and its because of the hip bump!! There's no need to move its already there!! Man eye opener for me today watching this video i tried that lateral move and man is that hard to repeat its so inconsistency and your right Adam it kills your rotation as well

[@realcap2010]

Amen, me too! Love this guy!

[@petercrocitto7383]

Another great video! Still a big fan of you and all your students!

[@PorzakGolf]

Thanks for your support Peter! Always look forward to see your comments on our videos!

[@kelvinhicks459]

Hi, well great videos..I have tryed the hip bump...and it is just fantastic. I have struggled with getting the hips to turn for a long time. I am thinking this unlocks the hips buy putting some weight on lead hip joint so the trail hip can move back. The tilt seams a long way back off the ball..but when turned.. it just works and no manipulation..

[@MarkFoster-g8k]

Great instruction. What differences apply when using middle and long irons?

[@PorzakGolf]

Set up and hip bump should all apply the same. But the difference with longer clubs is your width of stance. With shorter clubs we said 60 lead and 40 trail. When the hip bump is set with the driver’s wider stance, we will feel 40 lead and 60 trail.

[@kevinclelland8017]

Thanks again Adam

[@PorzakGolf]

My pleasure!

[@Brolicherbs]

6:05 great point!

[@WhoIsntJP]

How does the weight distribution change for long irons and driver?

[@Majshock]

I do the hip bump on the back swing. It gives me rhythm and aids in the coiling of my body feeling athletic… doing the hip bump in setup makes me feel too static and uncomfortable and was leading to the backwards lean chunking and casting for the ball…. However I will say that it is an excellent way to teach and understand the importance of getting that leg posted up. Great tool for beginners.

[@sdsswanson]

I started to really get into golf after two acl surgeries and multiple mensicus surgeries because it was something to do outside and be competitive. Unfortunately it’s my trail knee and i think it has really messed up my swing mentally where I don’t want to put weight or twist on the knee. I’m going to work on the hip bump and hopefully find some confidence in my swing and right knee 🤞

[@vietrandy1]

Outstanding teaching. Wish I had this 30 years ago.😢

[@rpmfoto]

I resisted the hip bump for a long time because it felt too restrictive. Three things to say about that: 1. When I started doing the hip bump, I was restricting my turn just as Adam warned against. 2. The hip bump was now reducing my hip sway which felt awkward at first but the ball started to be flighted and straight. 3. The hip bump limits my backswing which felt very awkward. But when I watched video of my swing, the top of my swing was actually right where it was supposed to be. That was a HOLY CRAP LIGHTBULB MOMENT!

[@atxrich]

Feel vs. real! Video feedback is the quickest way to verify what you’re feeling vs. what is actually happening in your swing.

[@timhanna4700]

Brilliant. Wish I knew this 30 years ago.

[@mikewhaley5887]

Great content, in doing this as I am bumping the hip. I tend to get a long draw left, not a duck hook, just over draw. Is this in my fore arms or in my hands? This is my miss, I start aiming more right at times then it's a straight push. Just trying to break under the 9 HCP. Thank you for the videos.

[@greghill5183]

That one statement is my "Eureka Moment", Adam! Thanks! "Rotate the chest inside the feet"!

Is there an online program including masterclass and swing Video analysis/feedback?

[@kevinflaherty4988]

Love this

[@shrirang28]

do you recommend the hip bump with all the clubs?

[@TM226]

As a swing thought. Too initiate the downswing dies your left hip start. Or do you start with arms and the hips react?

[@sanjaybansal2830]

Search his “hip and grip” video

[@kirklamble7291]

Awesome videos man, been watching for a year now and love it. Is there anything you can recommend for us Canadians up here that can't play in the winter, some drills etc.? I have a mat in my basement, can't really hit drivers, but I can full swing wedges/ short irons. Thanks man!

[@TungNguyen-mx6zd]

Can you pls advise how much we should bump the hip to left at set up? Tks

[@richyclubsport5155]

You obviously didn't watch and listen

[@swaggga7139]

Thanks Adam, super helpful video as always. Is the lead leg drill an exaggerated feel of the hip bump, or is this the position we should be trying to recreate at address?

[@PorzakGolf]

It’s a little bit of both. I would start doing the lead leg drill for a few minutes then add the trail leg. You should still feel the same sensation as when you were doing the lead leg drill

[@swaggga7139]

I’ll give that a go, thank you very much

[@utamas3938]

Hi Adam, how many reps that you recommend for doing these 2 drills?

[@lllcjdlll]

Where should you feel the weight in your front foot at address with the hip bump?

[@kelvinhicks459]

Hi Great suff. Does this still work with the driver set up ? 40 on front leg 60 on back. Sometimes I get stuck and cannot get left enough..reults in pulls/ pull hooks

[@PorzakGolf]

Yes it does! You have the right set up with the 40 on the lead and 70 on the back. In order to combat the pull hooks. Feel like your back in closed on the downswing longer and get those hands moving! You should see the start line become more neutral

[@bizlawprofessor]

Thank you for this. As someone who struggles because I "thrust" my hips left (and of course upper body goes back) I want to do this! To be clear--I am setting up with a hip bump so my femur is over left foot at address (for ll clubs? I notice this is a short iron). And if I do that there is no need to laterally shift left if I turn around the post of my left/front foot? (please say yes and change my swing forever lol:)

[@geoffhunt7965]

I’m looking forward to going to the range after having watched this video because I am one of those people who stay back. Thanks again.

[@PorzakGolf]

Good luck! Let us know how the range sesh goes!

How’d it go, still going good?😊

[@geoffhunt7965]

Getting better for sure.

[@matthewwalters9980]

Fan-freaking-tastic! This is exactly what I needed to see. I cannot get into / around the left hip which is leaving me with these weak right shots. Can you combine the left foot forward with another drill to promote the right arm moving in front of the body or does the single leg drill help with that too? Keep the videos coming. Easily the best on KZbin!

[@PorzakGolf]

Absolutely! Lead leg drill plus the pump drill would be an awesome combination. Look up our recent video with connection to see the example of the pump drill and what we look for

[@matthewwalters9980]

@@PorzakGolf thank you! I am sure I speak for many people, but you are an absolute legend!

[@MrRwebb1983]

I played college golf years ago at D2 level and never was great....i shot around par most of the time and took it deep when everything clicked... That was 17 years ago... I've taken up practice into net and love all your coaching tips. I'm almost 40 and hitting it better than ever with much owed to your channel! I have even more speed now than in college and really think it's due to better rotation allowed with these setup techniques and feels to match that really generate results.

[@gustavovillarroel5634]

hello Adam, I write you from argentina, I'm a greate fan of yours videos, my golf have improve. but I have a problem that make me lose confidence, about 30% of my shots, are with the toe, the ball goes straight but I lose distance, have you any advise for this situation!! thank you in advance...

[@markscott4059]

Would this drill help with my driver swing?

[@rjorge3]

I feel dumb as it took me forever to get the hip bump right 😆, but once I started doing it, I feel so connected and centered around the ball which improved my ball striking tremendously. I feel that for us amateurs this concept works so much better that other techniques out there (IMO) since we do not have the coordination and skills of low handicappers. I see some videos promoting the shift and rotate of the left hip but is really hard to do at our level. This has been gold to me once I mastered. It took me hundreds of swings in the mirror to get it right, but so so nice. If now I could fix my chipping, my putter and my driver, I would be on tour 😂🤣😆. Thank you Adam 💪

[@PorzakGolf]

At least we knocked out one aspect of the game haha

[@jessehudson1318]

I love the coaching but I thought from gears most pros shift like 4-6” from set up to impact. Not a huge lateral shift but it’s also not just a centered pivot. Am I misunderstanding something?

[@mrneutral5081]

I also love the content. However, like you I’ve seen another channel that states its content is based on “evidence based material” actually showing clips of the tour pro’s moving 4-6”. That said I still like the hip bump idea.

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

If you take tiger woods at his prime, he had a big slide hips toward target during downswing. And some other modern great players do to. And some of them even slide their hips away from target slightly during backswing.

[@raybowles8587]

Ken Venturi said he use to put a wedge in his golf shoe to keep him pressed forward.

[@mwilliamsf]

When you start the downswing transition, your hips rotate ever so slightly first. I see this with the best players, hip bump or not. Is this an intentional movement? If not what triggers this?

[@tbone2451]

Should the ball be more in the center of your stance ?

[@collinb4099]

So crazy, when I was playing my best golf I was doing this, but I felt like it was incorrect and tried to learn the method he talks about as incorrect. I went back to the hip bump and my irons are back to a nice straight flight

[@MoAntphonyMo]

With the hip bump, are you still feeling 50/50 pressure set up, 70/30 back swing and 10/90 through impact?

[@PorzakGolf]

At set up for shorter clubs, you want feel 60/40 at set up. From there you would want to maintain that pressure through the back and downswing. Remember that we are not actively trying to shift the pressure in our feet. Our rotation of the upper body naturally transitions the pressure in our feet

[@MoAntphonyMo]

@@PorzakGolf Copy that. That makes a lot of sense! I definitely get confused when change of pressure shifts are mentioned from other golfer KZbinrs. I.e shifting before downswing or feeling 90 lead side before downswing etc. Definitely makes it confusing out there! I appreciate the tip!

[@heartandsouldclassics4728]

When anyone else tries this does it feel like it makes it harder to rotate your hips through the shot, or just me?

[@heinergotzenich6278]

Top explanation how to turn over the lead leg with 2 awsom drills...I will work on it....especially with may longer irons from 6 up to 4 even to 3 iron....thanks very much....😊😊😊

[@NickOnPar]

I physically cannot stop falling back when doing that lead leg drill through impact 🤣

[@kwdthatsme2711]

I’m working on a similar “feel”… I bet you that if you will let your arms “drop” from the top of the backswing and you only pay attention to your right elbow (if right handed) getting in front of your right hip bone AND the right elbow is still leading your right wrist, as long as you move that left hip out of the way to clear your arms for the bottom portion of the swing, you’ll find you are very easily able to “skip the rock” with your right hand as it “late” rotates near bottom of swing… your rotation as a whole and that throwing motion will drive you through/around/and up to the follow thru point = no falling back will ever occur again!!! I just “mastered” this today = and it literally became difficult to hit a “bad shot” - which has never been the case for me

[@tylerbellgolf]

Since my l5-s1 is fused, I try to swing like this normally lol

[@terrylikins2333]

[@Forever31-u7k]

👌🏌️Thanks much 🙌💪

[@pizzipaul1]

Limiting the bodies movement in golf can be a really bad thing. Feeling that you have to stay perfectly still to hit it solid is probably an indicator that you are doing something else wrong in your swing. I know a top 5 amateur of all time, some say top 3, he was one of the longest hitters in golf. He led the senior tour in driving distance, had 4 or 5 wins. He was one of the greatest long iron players I have ever seen. He always told me…weight 100 back and 100 percent through. I worked for one of the greatest women’s golfers in history. She is in the ladies hall of fame… like 8 majors and over 70 tour wins. She dominated in driving distance. Her head literally moves 4 inches, maybe more, with every swing. She is a big woman and 56 years old when I spent 5 days watching her play and hit balls so she is limited in her side bending which cause lateral motion. But she is not limiting her motion in any way. She is still one of the longest hitters on the ladies tour and hits the highest long irons, absolutely nuclear shots, I’ve ever seen. If you’ve seen as much golf as me, and you’ve seen older players who can’t get irons in the air… it’s sad. And when you see these people hack it up and keep saying…I’m moving, like that’s the problem, it’s hard to watch. Stack and Tilt is a desperate attempt to solve a problem way to far to the extreme. It produced a lot of powerless golfers who couldn’t get the ball in the air… but I would add that if done correctly, Stack and Tilt golfers hit beautiful high draws. But the number of people who did it correctly were close to zero. I agree that shifting way back and bumping the hip forward absolutely causes the club to get stuck behind you, too much spine angle at impact. But be very careful of limiting movement in the swing. Of course he talks about rotation….but there is a lateral movement also in the swing. The body is meant to move…naturally. If you can’t get ball first contact it could be many things. I noticed the one swing in this video that even getting more forward he had very little shaft lean at impact. Less shaft lean=less compression. If your setting yourself more forward and still not getting shaft lean that’s a little concerning. I really like this guys teaching, the external rotation of the right arm is huge, loved his fast hands video! It’s all great and he has an awesome move. Just be wary of limiting motion in your swing… and with a driver… the more you move the farther you hit it. If you can’t keep it on the planet it’s because your path sucks or you angle of attack is bad or your club face is all over the place. Pounding a driver down the middle is a 100% committed motion with full loading on both sides. If your head moves your not side bending correctly… but I’ve seen way more great drivers who move all over it compared to these people who are afraid to move and just hack it up day…after day….
