The Fastest Hips
Sunday, February 17th, 2008I saw this article in a website the other day, and was pleasantly surprised. It seems the word is getting around. Speed
We all know that clubhead speed is the answer to longer drives, but, it is far more important to measure the speed of your hips.Hip speed is the key to effortless power. The fastest hips in baseball belong to Barry Bonds.
The fastest hips in boxing belonged to Muhammed Ali.
The fastest hips in golf belong to Tiger Woods. Do you see a pattern here? Yes, it is the pattern of winning, of re-writing the record books withfast, early hip rotation.
I agree with this article wholeheartedly, as I have taught this for years – except the part “the rotation should be early”. Actually, the rotation needs to be somewhat delayed - until impact - and your hips need to rotate to a position in front of your body! This move actually creates super-acceleration, through the ball and beyond – right where you need it! So, as with most articles, we are told that “we need to do this”, but not “how to do this”. Want to learn how to do it? I show you an easy drill that does just that in Lesson # 5 of Easy 80 Golf – and it can be yours – just ask.
Happy Golfing, Bob
