The Role of the RIGHT HIP (Trail Hip) in the Golf Swing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- The Role of the Right Hip (Trail Hip) is vitally important for building and powerful and efficient golf swing. Too often, we see club golfers either move their trail hip poorly or hardly at all. This leads to inconsistency and a lack of clubhead speed and in some cases, injury! In fact, the movement of the trail hip can affect at least 14 different key aspects of the golf swing.
Glen Haynes explains and demonstrates the importance of the effective motion of the trail hip in both the backswing and downswing. He goes through the 14 different aspects of the golf swing, which can be directly affected by these movements.
Ideally, the trail hip (right hip for right-handed golfers) rotates behind you in the backswing, with hips turning about 50° away from the golf ball. From there, the trail hip can fire towards the target. By moving the trail hip in this powerful manner, several aspects of the golf swing and performance can be improved.

Golf Coaches, Not Teachers
The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.
Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!
Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.

This has been by far one of the most useful tips to help me get my game back on track! You are now the only golf related channel I follow, and your tips for us seniors (like the stretching video) have made a huge difference. I took this info to the range yesterday, and immediately was hitting better shots more flush with an increase of at least 20 yards.
That’s fantastic Gordon! Thank you so much for sharing. So glad to hear that you’re improving your ball striking.
Love the stick drill. Thanks so much!
Thanks Aussie Golf Pros. All these years I've been working on eliminating the fat shots and it was one little move that changed everything. Getting that right hip to go back instead of sliding. It made transferring the weight or ground force to the left side way way easier and in time. I always hear analysts talk about how the pros are already getting their weight over before they even finish their backswing and now I know how they do it efficiently and effectively with little effort.
That’s so great to hear that we’ve helped you improve your ball striking @Blue-Dun. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Excellent instructional video. I truly believe you are spot on with the hip rotation being the key to a successful swing movement. When I execute the proper hip rotation, my hits are longer and straighter. If I don’t execute it, my swing turns into an arms only move, with an open or closed club face. At 75, the “Easiest Swing” method allows me to enjoy my game. Thanks for posting this video.👍🇨🇦👨🦳👏
Absolutely Richard. Thank you for your kind words.
Excellent demonstration Glen on the effective use of the right hip in the golf swing! I like your suggestion of turning the right hip back, loading into the right instep, and then firing the hip toward the target and at the same time pushing off of the right instep, All 14 tips are extremely valuable in having an effective golf swing. I will definitely be archiving this video and using your suggestions to better my golf game. Good Job Glen!
Thank you so much for your feedback John! Appreciate your comments. 🙏🙏
Great video! Thanks! This move has finally cured my shanks and early extension that have plagued me for years!
Glad we could help Greg! 👏👏
Look at Dr. Kwon's demonstration of the backswing and especially how the right hip goes into/over (sway?) the right leg and then the push upwards from the leg causes the hip to turn up and around. He advocates small lateral hip moves but maintaining a cone shapped upper torso.
Thank you for your comments. If posture is sound, then the trail hip will rise in the backswing.
The great ball strikers don’t sway their hips back in the backswing.
i enjoyed your video and info. do you key on one body part to initiate the downswing action like the right hip or left hip or the naval area? thnx for the help.
Thanks for your queries Steve. Initiating the downswing is ideally more a pressure thing. We have a video in the pipeline. Watch this space! Cheers, Glen
Hey Glen and Steve,
Excellent Video. Very Informative and Demonstrated. Amazing how that one thing, can help so many aspects of your swing. Keep up the great work.
Cheers
Joe
Thank you Joe
Yes, it’s crucial to the golf swing!
How’re doing in chilly Melbourne?
Glen
@@AussieGolfPros Yes, chilly Melbourne is doing fine, now it's chilly wet Melbourne lol
Awesome stuff here, thank you, the light bulb literally went off in my brain from this explanation, thank you from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏🏼🏌️♂️
Great to hear from our friends in Canada 🇨🇦! Thank you for your feedback and support! 🙏
Brilliant stuff Coach. Such a great description of the outcomes of great hip movement. Shakira was RIGHT!! The hips don't lie 🤔😉😎🤙
Thanks for checking in Brett. 🙏
Hi Glenn. May i respectfully say that Ben Hogan maintained that correct trail hip depth is automatically achieved by a full shoulder turn. In other words the golfer should not need to " actively" pursue trail hip depth. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you for your comments Richard. Here are my thoughts on this subject of “actively” gaining trail hip depth:
Ideally, the downswing is to be initiated by the lower half of the body - pressure shift, create space & rotate the hips through, etc.
To achieve this, there needs to be some ‘stretch’ factor in reserve at the top of the downswing.
I think we can all agree that many top ball strikers begin the downswing with the lower half, even before completing the backswing with the arms and club. This would not be possible, if the player’s upper body rotation was ‘maxed’ out against the lower half. Some extra trail hip depth needs to be achieved, so that proper and powerful sequencing of the downswing is possible.
I hope this clarifies my beliefs about this.
Cheers
Glen
love it Glen
Thanks Ian 🙏
