Basic Body Movements You Need To Learn 
For Your Golf Swing And Putting 
 
Wandering Hips In Your Golf Swing? (Part 1) 
Part 1
 
  • Do you have problems with topping the golf ball? 
  • Do you hit the ground behind the ball?  
  • Do you sometimes hit the golf ball with weak and high results? 
  • Do you feel a loss of power with some of your swings with any club? 
  • Do you have problems hitting the ball near the sweet spot of the clubface? 
  •  
    All of these problems (and more) could be happening because your hips move in various directions during all parts of your swing movements. If your hips are moving about then you know that your legs are moving. Your body will also be moving or it will be twisting and hunching out of good posture.  
     
    This instructional article will show you what to do to stop "wandering hips" from ruining your golf swing. And, the solution is unusual and will demand some attention in your early efforts to control your hips.

    The video clip to the left shows too much hip movement in my swing. This hip sway causes an unstable and weak foundation. It is difficult to generate power because this swaying places you in unnatural positions.

    The golf swing demands balance. Swaying hips will cause loss of balance or a feeling that you are about to lose your balance. Your mind quickly senses the loss of power and the loss of balance. Instinctively, messages go to your arms and hands to do something to make up for a weakening swing. Almost always the hands or arms make a wrong move or a movement which is out of time with the leg and body movements.

    In this clip you can also see that my forward sway caused my club to reach the bottom of its swing arc past the ball towards my right foot (I’m a leftie.) This would result in poor contact of the golf ball or a complete miss.
