Level Hip and Shoulder Turn by Tom Stickney
Level Hip and Shoulder Turn by Tom Stickney Tom Stickney - A Top 100 Golf Teacher Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

What Light Horse wanted us to do was to make a level hip and show returning to the top but the mistake that most amateurs make is they make that same level shoulder and hip turn on the way down. That promotes an out in swing path club face tends to back up and high poof balls tend to occur which maximize a lot of bad shots. So what we want to do is we want to make sure that we make that same level shoulder hip turn to the top from there we want to make sure that our hips bump into right field moving our center of gravity from my right heel into our left toe and when we make this motion the club will lag and of whip like effect will happen the shoulders and hips will take off through impact.

That will give you maximum distance now remember Light Horse was talking about a slight bump. There's a big difference between a bump where you feel gentle pressure on your left toe and a full fledged slide where you feel a bowing of the left knee and weight going into the outside of your left foot. So let's review what Light Horse wanted us to do a shoulder hip turn to the top from here we gently bump our hips into right field allowing the club to drop under and from there you will maximize speed and power if we do it correctly it should look something like this. That is J.B. Holmes long right there.
