Suzann Pettersen is a 33 year old Norwegian tour player with multiple majors to her name and countless other victories; amassing more than $12 million in prize money. Now she has been one of the most athletic players to date in the ladies game with some of the most dynamic hip action of anyone on tour. What she does so, so well through impact, is to actually get the hips moving laterally towards the target, before turning very, very aggressively through the impact area. Her hips have rotated in this turning, before that club has even reached half way down during the downswing. So the actual club when it reached impact whips through at an absolutely furious pace, and this makes her one of the longest drivers on tour.

But she also got a lot else to her game which is obviously why she is competing and winning so much money, but this is her real signature move. Now to try and kind of replicate this, all you need to be doing is driving your weight forward as hard as possible, and really trying to rotate the hips as fast as possible afterwards. The hands, the arms and the club should take care of themselves, after that point. So this might not give you instant accuracy, but it should give you a very fast and a very quick increase in your overall distance; allowing you to turn very hard, through the actual shot. So if you are looking for a little bit more distance, if you are looking for a little more power, give Suzann’s dynamic hip action a go and you should be able to hit the out there with a little bit more distance.
