My hitters motion please critique

[grantc79]

I'm starting to see what you mean.

I drew some lines using V1 and found that my right shoulder is actually higher at impact than at address which can't be good.

I still don't see how turning the hips is the key to get me there though.

I want to make 100% sure than you mean turn from the start rather than slide?

Also isn't the whole idea behind being a 3 barrel hitting to get rid of the pivot?

1. You don't have "Hip Action". You need Hip Action. This new procedure will give it to you.
2. You start your downswing by lowering your left heel. This is straightening your left leg, maybe preventing a weight shift, but definitely it's causing your right shoulder to stop moving down-plane and causing your right hip and shoulder to move out (toward the Plane-line) and over the top.

As you begin practicing this procedure, you'll soon learn infinitesimal control of the Hip Turn and direction of the turn. You'll soon notice and learn how to control the Hip Turn to comply with the requirements of the #3 Pressure Point. You'll soon wonder how you ever played golf without it.

Look at the Pictures below.

Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer are using "Standard Hip Turn".





Yes. Standard Hip Turn is the normal Procedure for Hitting and Swinging. See Chapter 12. If you want to use a Sliding Hip Turn, it requires a "SLIDE" in "BOTH" directions.

The standard Hip turn does move the hips from right to left while the Hips rotate. Simultaneous.

10-14-A STANDARD The Standard Hip Turn (of any length) is a free turn in both directions with a weight shift in both directions. During Circle Path Delivery (7-23) use the Turning Hip to carry the Right Elbow around into a Release position for a Trigger Delay Control procedure (7-20).

No. Where did you get that idea?

I don't know but 10-15-B just cleared it up for me.

I think its because a hitting motion is so right arm centric for me I tend to just zero everything else out and let the right arm do it all.

10-15-B just made a hell of a lot of sense though.

Let the shoulders power the hips backwards and let the hips power the shoulders forward.

So basically my RFT and shoulder turn will tug the hips and then the hips tug the right shoulder down to start the forward swing.

Makes sense.

I did some different swings focusing first on sliding then on turning the hips with similar results.

Both seemed to get my right shoulder a lot further down plane though.

Is there a timing issue I should consider here? Is the turning independent before the thrust or should both happen gradually at the same time?
