The RIGHT HIP in Your Golf Swing | A CRUCIAL COMPONENT

[@lungchan1729]

Sir, are you a genius?? I was trying to do what most youtube teaches and I was starting to have back pain. Then I said to myself stop doing that otherwise medical bill will be high...

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I think I am, but my wife doesn’t! 😂😂Really happy you are enjoying my videos, thank you!

[@jammuu]

This was the craziest video I have ever seen. I needed this, I've been struggling with rotation for the longest time, I end up over tilting my right shoulder backwards, it prevents my hips from turning properly and i swing "out" with a flip and end up hooking the ball. I'll have to try this. Brilliant video!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Bless you, so so good to hear! Do let me know how you get on with the drill and your golfing performance! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@enriquegarrido1580]

Total eye opener. Have worked on side bend and my path has gone >6 from inside out with low angle of attack, less rotation and shanks. With side bend had difficulty pushing off with my left leg. I then tried to lower my right hip through downswing which made strike totally chaotic. Saw your video and VOIALA I can use my left leg again. You are amazing!!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Ahh thanks Enrique, hugely appreciate the kind words my friend and super happy tour golf has improved because of this video my friend. Keep up the great progress, best wishes Stu 😊

[@Supper-zero]

Interesting and quite controversial Stuart as usual. Everyone talks about side-bend and left hip up and back to catapult the club head or the boat pulling the skier around the bend. This in combination with the left shoulder going up and back as you open up the left side of the chest. Coming from you I will have to give this a lot of consideration because everything you teach makes so much sense.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I will be interested to see how you get on; I am going to do a video on side bend just for you net zero :) - Best wishes Stu

[@merciejo1]

Please explain the left arm movement in this downswing.... thanks

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

If you watch this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3mmYnRuiN-CiZosi=YEkftDiSuB7nfOhp will help a great deal.

[@dougellio7000]

so this is a feeling of the right hip going higher so it promotes a better hip turn through the shot. My impression is that you are trying to get us not so good golfers to stop blocking the hip turn with lateral bend and a too high left side?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Correct… hope it makes sense. Best wishes Stu

[@alanking5001]

Does this apply when you want to hit up on driver please ?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Absolutely Alan!

[@Zephyrus47]

It's funny how things come to you when you need them. For the past couple weeks, I've finally figured out how to rotate the body. After years of trying to figure it out without a swing couch, I've got it...except for the one little problem, which you displayed in your video. I've become more consistant hitting the ball solid...a push fade, mind you. I couldn't think of how to fix it...and bam! Here's your video! Gonna try out those drills and start hitting some draws.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Fantastic Cole - let me know how you get on Sir! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@js_golf_cours6217]

A crucial component indeed ! Since I'm working on counter-balancing with the pelvis the game improved a lot. But this was a damn key piece missing for me that right hip higher. Now I can finally hit with the left shoulder a bit lower than usual in order to push down efficiently with left hand during impact. Great coaching sir 💪💪⛳

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Lovely feedback my friend and glad you found a crucial piece to the puzzle. Great to hear and thanks so much for sharing!

[@stephenchalmers9516]

Hi very interesting and quiet the opposite of what one would instinctively think to do. When I came back to golf I watched some teachings from Mike Austin whereby he taught a tilt of the pelvis during the take away and back swing. This took away a lot of pressure in my lower back and have stuck with that move ever since. I understand you don't teach a high right hip in the back swing, I guess my right hip is high already and i' can use it in the manner your so eloquently explain and demonstrate. Hope I can, really enjoy you videos, some times I chuckle at your exaggerations of what not to do. LOL

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Haha thanks Stephen - I must admit I do get a little carried away, I find it funny too 😂😂 Thanks for sharing your experiences and grateful for you being a part of my channel. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@Robin-Cj]

Hi Stu, like your intruduction says "don't try to fix the fault because it is often something else" WELL this made me try the chair drill but in the backswing as well and realised it stabilized my legs in a very different way. So i am just wondering is this the right feeling for the backswing as well? Just want to make sure i don't go down any damn rabbit holes again. And if you have a good video of how the knees and legs should work in the backswing please put a link in the comments 😊 (Long time batteling slider of the hips) best regards Robin, hope you had a wonderfull Christmas!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Robin, I have plenty of videos on leg action, please go check those out. They will guide with drills and understanding guaranteed Sir. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@solarblue72]

Hi Stuart, I'm a little confused, most instruction talks about 'sitting' in transition, moving the hips back and level and are stacked over the ball, if the trail hip remains high, will this not lead to early extension, as tiger talked about the "Ole" move in that famous Butch Harmon video?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Warren - I’m not familiar with the Butch Harmon “Ole” term unfortunately. I’ve done a video specifically on “early extension” - I believe this will clear up any ambiguity with regards to this drill and the right hip. Any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@BobBarczykowski]

Live in USA. Am 75 and have always had issues of hitting fades, push shots, and hitting fat shots. After watching you and your vidoes, I realize that my idea of how to swing the club is totally wrong. I am going to try and change the way I swing starting with my grip. Hoping to find a coach who agrees with your ideas of how the body movement dictates the swing. Thanks for your help. I am a subscriber and checking your channel is one of the first timgs in my 5am morning routine.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Really appreciate the feedback my friend, very grateful Sir. Looking forward to hearing how you progress my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@yeokianchuan5994]

Will try this at the range tmrw.tried this right shoulder n hip higher on backswing n moving right shoulder forward allows me to feel i can finally complete the downswing to the complete finished posture.without club n done at home😅😅

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Let me know how you go, it will help you loads by the sounds of it! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@johnhewlett2720]

Stuart with that hand path , hands toward ball, I worry about hitting across the ball. Is that a reality? Or is that just an issue of blending rotation with the weight shift to target?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey John - I would never worry about hitting across the ball; have you seen my “You don’t know this…” video? It’s on club path, an essential video to watch to stop you worrying Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@davidwood860]

I must check you leg videos again. I was pushing up with left leg as I pulled down on the club, and this was causing my left hip and shoulder down. This explains heavy hits and poorer strikes.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Let me know how you go David, if you still have poor contacts I'll recommend another video. Best wishes Stu

[@archiedarcy4845]

100 percent correct. Excellent video - new subscriber. Cheers from Tampa Florida 😊

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Archie! Welcome to the channel my friend. Any questions along the way, please let me know! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@ronmullard5718]

A real hip gem...I wish I was just starting to play now....instead of 30+ years ago.....the game might make more sense....🙃😊

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Ron much appreciated; and I too feel your pain. Never too late to play great golf my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@davee3951]

I have a little different way of thinking about this, because every time I start thinking about the right side during the downswing bad things happen. If I think about keeping the left hip down/level through impact/under an imaginary table, The right hip stays level and I start to get nice divots and very consistent contact and direction. This feel works perfectly with your drill. Thanks again Stuart.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Whatever works for you Dave is all good with me my friend, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences!! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@pastorjason4337]

This is so foreign to me, now that said I am a hillbilly kid from Oklahoma so Stu is foreign to me for sure. I do have to admit, I took his stuff to the range the last two days and struck the ball as solid as I ever have, and my driver swing was the bane of my existence (long but unknown, snap hook city). after incorporating his swing methods It turned into a weapon for me. Still working on it but I will say this. Stu has garnered my respect, and I have seen enough in my own game to trust him with this part as well. I will be working this piece in, just as soon as I can get my body convinced that we are actually pulling the club while pushing the lead hip back. That has been about all the mind blowing I can do for this week!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I know you trust me Jason, and I know this will help you too.. do let me know how you get on Sir! Best wishes Stu

[@peterhammer6915]

there are some good points in this video but right side bend without turn I haven't seen teached anywhere, at least not in the channels I have been watching.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

When did I say without turn? Best wishes Stu

[@dennis1119]

Stuart, thanks for this bit of content! As you know, it comes to me when I need it the most! What I love about your channel is how it challenges what you think you know about the swing and slays a few sacred cows along the way! The best thing is that you have a "truth detector" on the screen in front of you--Trackman is showing the truth of what just happened! Right hip high, rt shldr moving out and around in the dswing? That must be over-the-top, correct? No- Trackman says path is 2.5 in-to-out! Wow--maybe i don't know what I think I know! Thanks for being the myth buster and helping golfers like me!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Haha told you it would help you Dennis. Thank you for your Skillest videos, will be sending my thoughts over very shortly Sir! Best wishes Stu

[@markusbereflod9144]

This is great. Reminds me of Alex Norén. How does this translate to the driver?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Markus, take a look at my "Angle of Attack" video and my broom series videos, will really help. Any further questions welcomed. Best wishes Stu

[@yeokianchuan5994]

Definitely promotes a downward blow for better compression thru the ball

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Yes it does 😎

[@andycorso8498]

Love the challenges to the current swing thinking………. I can relate to the shanking issue but I realise that the whole downward pressure on the handle through strike has made the old JR Arthur disappear 😂

Hey Stuart quick question for you...... First of all I've never hit the ball any better at the range than I did the other night after watching a few of your videos. But my question is..... After hitting the ball as well as I did l'm starting to believe that most of this other stuff on KZbin is garbage. So are all these other intelligent instructors on KZbin trying to confuse us on purpose?.......thanks again, eye opening stuff

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Gary - firstly, a big thanks for the positive feedback and well done on the good ball striking Sir. As for the others, I have my theories and whilst I’m all for pointing out others weaknesses at the advice offered, I truly believe everyone is trying their best.

Haha true story 😂

[@ze_ma1965]

One of the best explanation of how to club is moved around by the hips the legs and the arms 👍👍👍 One question: after straightening the left leg, are the hips then level?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

They will feel pretty level, a lot will depend on the right shoulder (for a right handed golfer) whether youll feel your hips level or not. The reality is that they cant be truly level, but its a feeling to push for. Best wishes Stu

[@ze_ma1965]

Okay, thank you very much for the quick reply! It is about feelings ;-). Would you agree that the shorter the club the more down the feeling is for the left hip?@@GoodGolfCoaching

[@thomasgolft]

I have to ask: what's the "logic" I have to look for when doing this drill? is it a condition for being able to pull the club or is it a reaction of pulling the club? Hope this question makes any sense. I also noticed the drill only "feels" correct when my back is rather straight, the shoulders then "turned" on their own more or less. Not so much in my usual "office posture". @@GoodGolfCoaching
