Why FIRING The Hips Might Be Hurting Your Swing

Unlock more distance with your driver by focusing on hand speed rather than over-firing your hips. In this lesson, I’ll explain why generating hand speed through the downswing is more effective for power and control, and how over-rotating the hips can actually reduce your accuracy. Learn how to time your hand action correctly and create more efficient energy transfer, leading to longer, straighter drives off the tee. Watch now to maximize your driver distance without sacrificing control!

Being an expert on the 205yd snap hook and pretty good at the 60 yd block I think he has a point.Will try these ideas tomorrow if it ever stops raining.

🤣🤣🤣

Hi Adam, I'm 28 like a 7-8 hdc, and recently switched to your hip bump. I like the move but feel like when I do my hips get stiff some, how do I lower the pressure in the hips to get a better rotate after the hands go through? Thanks

[@KevinGilbertDC]

Look at the replay slow motion on your first swing! You literally rotated your hips more than 90 degrees!!! ?

[@PorzakGolf]

…and that’s the point boys!!! Feel vs. real! I literally felt like I was only sending my arms and even set up to intentionally restrict the hips, and they still followed because they didn’t have to wait for my arms and hands to catch up!

[@BrentBoswellMLN]

@@PorzakGolf I have been initiating the downswing with rotation and i can strike my irons well enough, but driver is weak fade, slice, or pull hook. Resonates because everyone says don't use your hands, etc. Curious on why it doesn't impact the irons as much. I had seen a lot of videos prior that the rotation shallows the club.

[@MJ-tt9ww]

Gives me cold sweats hearing that combo. High right and low left. Bad memories but now they are just memories thanks to this legend and his teaching videos!

[@PorzakGolf]

All golfer’s PTSD 🤣

[@DerhythM]

im also a person who fires hip quite fast, when i tried the back stay at target feel, my ball went push right but gain more speed, any suggestion? also should i do this feel for iron? or iron feels the hip lead still. Thank you !

[@cjschmitt4882]

I can't find a coach like this to save my life. :( Where are you? I'm in San Diego.

[@ikojohansyah4363]

Thanks Adam, slow but sure my driver is now better n stable… hope later will be for wood n iron set which sometimes still have too much draw n suddenly aiming right 🤦‍♂️

[@LeoBeebe]

Omg i was just lost playing with driver. I can play iron wedge wood all solid and compress. But driver slice. This is really related to me. My swing is like body shift and my head was on the top of the ball / ahead of it (hitting like iron / hit down ) that cause me slice and very confuse wheres my fault. So the key is staying center while still shift weight. Dangg , thanks Coach! I will try it

[@handeerandee]

Should we think about the back staying to the target longer only with driver, or irons and wedges alike?

[@JohnMoore-h7s]

It looks like you move your lower body more to set up a brace for your arms to actively swing the club through. Is that what you are feeling or is the lower body the trigger that starts your torso and arms through the ball? So the arms are not passively being carried through by the lower body move?

[@scottjeamel6561]

Great video as always. Given your horse race comparison i would assume you would teach the same philosophy with irons as well?

[@justgetitdoneman]

so simple and solid... love to see a video on your thoughts with a routine and trigger ...

[@troyberghan6788]

Always wondered how far Adam can hit it😅??

[@Pinhigh24]

You are the man Adam, been working on this a lot , great video

[@andreasjuchelka6063]

First third time 😃😃😃

[@PorzakGolf]

Keep it going!!

[@rodbiagtan4250]

Another amazing breakdown. Thank you!

[@aslancpa]

Do you support the feeling of letting your arms feel like they drop in transition, or push hands away from you?

[@MJ-tt9ww]

The guys talk about getting your hands back to where they started. I'd say look up hand path videos with them. Personally I'd say hands out is the worst teaching on the internet. They might do that but intentionally taking your hands out is at a minimum a trip to shanksville. See what he's saying at 6:18

[@brianschultz7320]

I like the feeling of a nice patient transition with gravity taking the hands. My tendency is to rush my transition and it gets too fast. Just depends on ur tendencies.

[@PorzakGolf]

I support what they are implying but drop is not the correct word. The best players hands accelerate while the back remains to the target. This allows the hands to move down in front of the body before opening up, but just letting them drop is not the correct way as the arms and hands will still get stuck behind the body’s rotation when trying to execute based upon this terminology.

[@neilrober]

Ok, that confused the hell outta me. 😂

[@ccfrombc]

Porzak is the king of golf instruction. No others come close. THANK YOU!!!

[@PorzakGolf]

You’re welcome!!

[@mindgardening7168]

Too much here

[@saucyjack77]

Great video. As someone who has basically learned how to play golf from KZbin (for better or worse), this channel has helped me the most. Thank you!

[@PorzakGolf]

🙌🙌🙌

[@bmartin9396]

This free advice is better than my goddamn swing coach. Thank you sir!!!

[@JR40119]

Solid GOLD!

[@nelsonjames1272]

Nice

[@thewarden549]

You are saving me and my driver. Thank you for the video!

[@PorzakGolf]

👊

[@Blue_Dun]

Is it just me or is this contradictory to your previous teaching videos

[@rustyhoops]

Was thinking the same🤔

[@PorzakGolf]

Not at all! Connection…inside horse(body) and the outside horse (club) …the feel vs real of what it takes to have them synced up!

[@xxthadeucexx]

Not rotating your body at all but your belt buckle went from almost facing the camera to almost facing the target? I get the idea but what you demonstrated was not what you said.

[@SmoothELands]

The hips will always go automatically. It's virtually impossible to not have the hips go first in a swing (despite what old golf instruction would say). It's the fact that your hips have a much shorter rotational distance to cover than your arms and hands, that most people need to feel like they start their arms and hands first. We're talking about milliseconds here.

[@xxthadeucexx]

@@SmoothELands I don't disagree at all but saying there's no rotation in a video where the rotation is readily apparent is a bit nuts.

[@SmoothELands]

@@xxthadeucexx I suppose language wise it's a bit misleading, I agree with you there. I think it's more the feeling he's describing. Rewatching that segment his hip only rotates back a couple of inches. At any rate, I wouldn't swing like that for fear of what it would do to my back lol.

[@PorzakGolf]

…and that’s the point boys!!! Feel vs. real! I literally felt like I was only sending my arms and even set up to intentionally restrict the hips, and they still followed because they didn’t have to wait for my arms and hands to catch up!

[@xxthadeucexx]

@@PorzakGolf Oh Adam, just go back to being a great instructor and leave the KZbin comments to us mere mortals. You know we're gonna have something to say about everything. 🤣

[@NickPage]

I literally need to watch this video a couple times a week. Straight block out to the right is such a typical miss for me and it’s always when I am being too passive with my hands. Absolutely love this video thank you man.

[@ts8206]

That was absolutely not just arms and hands. Look at your lower half and try to say that with a straight face

[@PorzakGolf]

…and that’s the point my man!!! Feel vs. real! I literally felt like I was only sending my arms and even set up to intentionally restrict the hips, and they still followed because they didn’t have to wait for my arms and hands to catch up!
