[@adamlindahl627]

Thank you so much for this video. I've apparently had a very flat hip turn, and as a result I've had an incredibly difficult time trying to apply your "recentering magic" and "framing the ball" to my swing. I could get my hips forward but my chest and head would stay back, causing my hands to stay back and scoop the ball. This video along with your pros vs am hip rotation video really, really helped me. My left hip goes up now around the center of my pelvis, and my upper body FINALLY recentered and fell forward - my hands were in front of the ball at impact and I actually compressed the ball, correctly! I can't thank you guys enough. Love the gears and drill videos.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Great! Happy it helped!

Cheers fellas , just a quick question when I do the down hill movement I tend to drive the club into the ground , am also finding it hard to hit up on the driver with this down hill feeling , any advice would be appreciated thankyou 👍

[@EmpireofBlack]

from what I have seen in other videos, as you are coming into impact you need to straighten out your lead (left) leg which will pull your chest and head back a bit and create right side tilt. I think this is best displayed in their videos about rory's swing.

[@alanking5001]

Hey guys. I’d LOVE to see a detailed look at how the right arm works from hip high to and through impact. You’ve done a great job on the right arm leading to hip high but haven’t seen anything on impact. This is a mystery to me as it’s hard to understand how to keep consistency with a bent arm. Keep up the great work!!! Best instruction I’ve ever watched online.

Ive just discovered this big golf secret if only Id watched your great video months ago! Massively changing/improving my set up(feel) got me on to it, my left hip tilts down at start which is having a massive knock on effect on my takeaway and backswing ie im not taking it early inside and deep.I am getting so much late upper body acceleration (feel) on dowwnswing Im almost having to deaccelerate my arms(feel) ie Im not lashing/lunging/hitting at the ball! How the **** ive got down to 4.8hcp without this Ive no idea! sub par expected!

[@terribelcher]

I don't know if anyone answered the question about the name of the dance they referenced in the video, but it's the Limbo, and it's origin is the Caribbean not Hawaii. Beyond that, this video has helped me more than any other. Adding hip tilt helps with recentering as well. Great video!

[@Ben59910]

I was told I was having a bit too much of that tilt, but thanks for explaining this, I should probably leave it alone

[@hilmyzainal9559]

As a player who hardly practice, when try to load at backswing cause to sway and try to remain centre cause reverse pivot, i think hip tilt answer the problem above- My question is there a chance to hit good shot when we have correct backswing without thinking of other variable such as transition , downswing, pressure shift, wrist hinge , rotation and so on

[@ejkite3961]

Using GEARS, have you guys measured the amount of hip tilt to shoulder tilt in PRO's. I wasn't sure if there was a standard ratio, or if it depended more on other factors such as golfer height, forward bend, etc. Be curious to know what you guys see in the backswing vs. impact ratio. Love all that you are doing with you videos. It's made a huge difference for me. It allows me to take what my coach and I are working on and further refine what the motion looks like using what you guys produce.

[@roadfert]

I know this video is a little old but it did open eyes to couple of things which leads me to some questions. First, would too level of a hip turn lead to a trail leg that straightens to the point of locking out on the back swing and would it contribute to an overly long back swing as well? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yes and yes 👍

[@roadfert]

@@AthleticMotionGolf awesome and awesome! Thanks! 👊🏻

[@stoneman1035]

Hi guys I really enjoyed this lesson but I do have an observation that may be off base ,and that is -are there some elements of stack and tilt in this motion. Specifically with the left shoulder moving downward and the tilting of the hips on the backswing. I’m just curious if you believe that some of elements of stack and tilt exists in your most recent lesson. Thank you.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

The hips and shoulders tilt in every single good golf swing...stack and tilt or not stack and tilt.

[@bobscottjnr]

I'm curious to know what you guys have to say about how the ankles relate to the knee bend (without which the pelvis will not tilt properly)? Good players don't just change the flex of their knees; they also seem to "break" the knees behind or towards the ball. I find it helpful to "unweight" the left heel on the backswing to help the knee not only flex but move inward; it is especially important for me to get off the right heel on the downswing so that my knee flex increases in the proper plane of motion (if that makes sense.) DJ and Xander Shauffele, to my eyes anyway, are excellent examples of this. I guess the knees are only designed to flex-extend in the sagittal plane. Trying to roll my ankles tended to cause me to slide my hips; consequently, my hips were I did not have enough hip tilt at impact. Any thoughts?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

I like this thought! I like the left knee to move inward slightly on the backswing

[@carlor.s.4742]

If I've got this right, the tilt is the result of pushing your right hip back & up on the backswing to create space & then doing the same with the left hip on the downswing. Is that right?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yessir!

[@richardjohnson-tb5pz]

[@chuckmcswain884]

I love your athletic movement ideas; my problem is topping golf balls; losing tilts. Do you have recommendations for this problem.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

You gotta find the cause first. The swing takes 1 second, try making a 5 second full swing. At that speed our flaws become very evident which is good for finding what's causing those tops. Impact is always a reaction to came before it, so look there first.

[@jbw749]

I was definitely tilting without the turn. Excellent video

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yes...many of us do. I am guilty of it too if I don't pay attention to it

[@andyb5476]

This will get millions of views.....Compare the Tiger swings - 1997 vs 2000 vs 2004 vs 2013 vs 2020. In terms of hip turn, swing plane and hand path on the downswing etc.

[@mrtomas0990]

This is a great video...superb, god bless

[@tomwhitfield1708]

In the hip turn and tilt video in the 1.5 minute to 2 minute time interval the drawing shows at the top of the backswing the hips are at -41 degrees and the shoulders are at -107 degrees. At contact the hips are at 44 degrees and the shoulders are at 11 degrees. Hoever in the Free distance gift video at the 2 minute 43 second point you say a good golfer only has 2 degrees of difference between the shoulders and hips at impact. Is the hip turn video drawing actually of an Ams as opposed to a Pro?

[@Victoriousandbrave]

Would love to see a Lexi Thompson swing analysis 💙

[@timothycharlton]

Awesome as always. How much of this pelvis tilt and of the recentering phenomenon is simply a function of left knee bend/right knee straightening followed by rebalancing of the right knee bend to match the left knee bend?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

some of it but not all

[@steviewonder2492]

[@gashosh2775]

Thanks so much for your teaching. I have improved so much watching your videos, you’ve dispelled a lot of myths that held me back for a long time. I was wondering if you might do a video talking about the idea of the head decreasing in elevation as the downswing starts. I’ve noticed every pro does it but taping myself I can’t seem to understand how to achieve it or why it’s important. I’m sure there are proper body movements that lead to this lowering.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Sure! Some of that is from the knees increasing in flex in early downswing...we will shoot a video on this

[@zrocksalot]

Hey guys! Thank you for your work. Sequence wise, with a driver, would you say the hips are on their way up when they pass through square and level on the downswing?

I might be a bit of a special case but im a good player (+1.4) and have done 3d several times in gears. With the driver i have 70 degrees rotation in the backswing because of a flatter hip turn. but i still get 75 degrees open at impact. What should i do to fix this combination?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

The tilts need to be in there, for a number of reasons. Work on turning with at least 16+ degrees of tilt.

[@real_Leo_Chang]

Really good stuff.. How do you tilt the shoulders and hips in the backswing without dipping your head forward and toward the ball? Is there any pronation with the forearms during the backswing? I was thought as a junior golfer, to "turn the steering wheel to the right" at the backswing, 'turn the wheel to neutral' (back at 12 0clock] and turn left for the release downswing. I notice why I do that my right arm at the top is like 42 degrees...

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Change the knee flex...that will allow you to tilt pelvis

[@real_Leo_Chang]

@@AthleticMotionGolf Thank You.. Im guessing less knee less?

[@RiseUp1000]

Is that Part 1? What about the downswing? What is the tilt angle of the hips coming down and into impact? I feel this video is incomplete unless there is a Part 2. I look forward to that.

[@donaldmorrison2585]

If the stick was sticking out towards the right hip what would it do on the downswing?

Hey guys thanks for the info! I had a general opinion question on the twist release VS the throw release, do you guys have an opinion on that and how it relates to grip roll which you spoke about a while ago. Thanks guys! Love your work :D

Hello Fellas, great video once again. I have an issue that I would like your opinion on but it's a bit wordy to write on here (the other subscribers would suffer). Have you got another method I can use to explain? I'm not no social media, apart from WhatsApp (if you can count that). The issue concerns the orientation of the lead elbow both at address and impact. I don't want to change my swing if I don't need to.

[@wenbray6396]

Can you explain how the tilts with your pelvis/core work on the takeaway and downswing. You touched briefly on it, but no explanation.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

level at address...on backswing the trial hip will be higher than the lead hip. the reverse happens on the downswing...at impact the lead hip is higher than the trail hip. Hope that makes sense. Weve got lots of videos dicussing this concept also Thanks!

[@ufukgoksu9851]

Is it O.K to turn back my hips level at the beginning and then tilt at the top of backswing? When I turn my hip tilted in rhe beginning, I tend to have (at least on the pictures) reverse pivot at the top of my backswing. Any comments I appreciate.

[@benharwood363]

Great video, on the money.

[@grahamjones7371]

I think you guys were stuck in Limbo trying to think of the Hawaiian (incorrect) Caribbean move. Seriously this move rather than turning level was the major change got me from 11 down to 4 hcp

[@amfohr]

Isn't the left hip moving down directly related to the pelvis tilt in setup? If you setup with a tugged pelvis it's not likely to get the left hip down in the backswing.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

The pelvis needs to tuck as it moves down. The tilting is directly related to knee flex👍

[@Rd-bi7vr]

This is the holy grail of the golf swing but this is triggered also by proper one piece takeaway ..at least for me it did. I juat accidentally discovered this at the range.

Hi guys, Did you try Golf MTRx? All about lower body / hip sequencing. Or do you think the correct movement/structure e.g. pelvic tilts are more important?

The amount of bad swing theory I've seen in my life is criminal. When I was young, I was told I had a million dollar swing and I rarely had a lesson because my father didn't want anyone messing with it. It might have looked good, but it often felt bad. Only when I really went off the rails did I get a lesson, and I was usually good to go immediately once I was told what I was doing wrong. Watching your videos has been a revelation. I'm working on routing out some bad habits from swinging with a bad left knee since my 20s. Now two years out of a TKR, I can make the lower body moves you teach without discomfort. Repeating it is another thing, but it does just feel right when executed. Thanks.
