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.👍🇨🇦👨🦳👏
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!
Your stick drill demonstrates clearly to me to start my downswing by firing my lead hip which then turns my trail hip towards my target automatically. The lead hip firing on the downswing provides the sling shot explosive power for the 1/3 rd second of the downswing. Don’t take my word for this: Bobby Jones said this years ago and no other golf instructor has said it since. But remember you heard it from me. Cheers. 😊🥂👍
Point 4 is a great shout, great lesson thanks. I've been doing this for a while now and the power is incredible when you swing the club this way the swoosh is so much louder which says it all really. The trouble I'm having is sequencing this so it's still work in progress!
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.
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 for your question @hilmyzainal This does vary from player to player somewhat. The more modern golf swing has the trail hip moving back and around in the backswing. However, Greg Norman moved his trail hip straight back and he did ok! The main thing to avoid is swaying back and allowing too much weight to move to the outside of the back foot. Cheers Glen
@@AussieGolfPros Appreciate your respond to my question . I prefer move straight back to avoid upper n lower body to the left. Thank you n all the best👍👍
Great video. Just to make sure I’m understanding correctly we want the trail hip to rotate around so it’s facing the target in the backswing? This seems to automatically recenter my swing and gives my arms tons of room to swing through to the target.
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
I kind of came about this by accident.... when I was flushing my 5 irons, I noticed that I did so when I concentrated on the right hip coming thru... if the right hip comes thru, the left hip has to go back... and I got decent club head speed with right hip coming thru. Then I tried it with driver and same thing.
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.
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
I would like to comment and would like to know your opinion. (I know everyone has their own swing etc) What I have come to conclusion is that for me when I use my right trailing side (yes also hip) towards the target as if I greet the target, my swing has produced great consistency. I used to have more leading hip for downswing initiation (yes also great results but not so consistent and efficient) and I believe it is more manipulated swing (bump, press the left foot etc) than when I use the trailing side and just swing through. My trailing foot does also not stay too long on the ground.
Thank you for your comments. I love that feeling for which you’re striving. Use video to keep your eyes on swaying forward and getting your eyes ahead of the golf ball (need to stay behind the ball) and for checking early extension - this can result if your trail foot comes up too early. Keep at it! Glen

Thank you so much for your feedback John! Appreciate your comments. 🙏🙏
Excellent video! Lots of condensed information. Really appreciate the stick-drill demo AND the mention that the hips start the downswing.
Glad it was helpful Mike. Thank you for your support.
Great video! Thanks! This move has finally cured my shanks and early extension that have plagued me for years!
Glad we could help Greg! 👏👏

That’s so great to hear that we’ve helped you improve your ball striking @Blue-Dun. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I’ll do my best to practice, you explain very clear and relax. Thank you more power❤
Glad to help. Thank you
Looks so easy, I love to play Golf but need a lot of learning. thank you😊
Much appreciated. 🙏

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
Good and useful tips , it covered almost all aspect needed in golf-
My question: is the trail hip move straight back or move back around?
Thank you for your question @hilmyzainal

Yes. You’ve got it. Glad to hear you’re feeling it!
@@AussieGolfProsthank you!
I saw the first swing and went “I’m not trusting a guy with that kind of swing” then I immediately hear “does this look like your swing” lmaoooo
🤣 Gold! Thanks Andrew! 🙏
Love the stick drill. Thanks so much!
You're so welcome Ken. 🙏

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! 🙏
Thanks Glen,miss ya😢
Aw, thanks Len. How’re you hitting ‘em mate?

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. 🙏
