Pete Cowen - the right hip has to go up and back for a POWERFUL golf swing. #shorts #golf #golfswing

Easy to spot because it used to be me 😁. Chewing on it more: when OP does that little lift move, it prevents the uncoiling of the hip. This video from Pete cowen is good for explaining hips in backswing/downswing succinctly: ▶ this video

Swing is nice for this length of time. You need to pivot in the backswing, with your weight going to the inside of your right foot (right now your weight moves too far laterally). What you’re missing is the right hip pulling up and back a bit as you complete the turn rather than swaying to the side. See Pete Cowen vid below. ▶ this video

I think it's a timing issue and your hips can be used more. Pete cohen talks about using the hips and timing it properly. This may help a bit. ▶ this video I typically fire the hips first and let the shoulder and arms follow. If you let the hips glide through the swing first, It should fix your left to right slice, and put your arms in a better position in relation to your hips. I think you have a great shot …

Right hip is not rotating in the backswing and is very inactive/stuck. The arms are very dominant. This leads to a swing that is very “Ferris wheel” instead of “merry go round”. Result, inaccuracy from club getting off its track (path) and lack of distance (due to lack of coil). Check this video out from Pete Cowan. I think it will help you to understand. Good luck. ▶ this video

My philosophy is the takeaway and backswing should set you in place where you cant screw up the downswing. So your trail hip does not 'load properly in the backswing. Backswing trail hip needs to go back and up. From there the downswing should take care of itself . This guy talks better ▶ this video

You’re not far away to be honest, arm structure looks good you just need to relax them a bit. You’ve got a bit of a reverse pivot going on, have a watch of pete cowen explaining the coiling up through your trail side and i reckon you’ll be on your way! Keep the faith! ▶ this video

Too much sway in backswing. Look at your head moving off the ball. Don’t sway in the backswing, just coil up. I like to imagine that I’m putting out a cigarette with the ball of my trail foot. ▶ this video ▶ this video
