I always feel like I have a very clear understanding of the hip bump and what it promotes but somehow everytime a new video comes out Adam makes it so easy to understand. Love the illustrations in this, the tee poiting at the ball from the chest is something i need to start feeling again.
Adam - ive been implementing everything you teach (or trying to), the biggest fault I have is my head moving off the ball to the right, any advice you could recommend?
I appreciate the message! the first and most important part of being able to stay more centered is the hip bump. This creates the spine angle, perpendicular to your belt line, visible from the face on view. This allows for the ability to turn behind the ball without having to move off of it. This should be the first thing you check to make sure that you have so that you’re not forced to move off of it when you turn. The next thing to look out for would be making sure your trail pocket is turning back towards the target and not bumping an imaginary wall to the side of your trail pocket…. this proper lower body turn will help keep your upper body centered and increase your range of motion.
Second what adam has said. I had the same problem and creating the hip bump with the correct spine angle at address stopped any sway in my swing. Important to video your swing to know feel vs real.
Also something I learned from Adam - with your irons, knife to the right side of your temple. With your driver, knife to left side of temple. It will feel weird at first but it’s because you are used to swaying.
Question : what about foot flare I see most pros doing to help rotation . You look opposite and more pigeon feet . Reasons or just personal preference? Thank you
With a 9i how much of your weight is on trail foot at set position, top of swing, and impact? Curious if max trail foot pressure is at set position or top of swing. Thanks!
With short irons I honestly don’t feel the weight transfer but the weight is maxed out on the inside ball of the foot in the set position and the inside heel at the top. Through impact I feel it predominantly in the back left heel
@@PorzakGolf Thanks! So pressure doesn’t start going to lead side until the backswing is complete with short irons? Is that the same throughout the bag?
I always count to 3 at the top of the backswing. I have my body slightly off balance and wait for gravity to pull me into the downswing. Its a subtle feel, but different than inituating the pivot, to soon with muscular manipulation. This ensures, that at transition, the club arm connection is moving in phase, with the rotating mass and mechanically coupled at impact.
Love your videos and know you advocate for the hip bump even with driver. What is your opinion on titelist performance institute advocating on swaying your weight to the back foot anf leaning like this / in order to generate mor power?
Another great question and I’m glad you asked! I think it’s likely disaster to the average golfer watching and looking for solid advice from a credible source. Instructors need to be very careful and understand how their words will translate to the masses. A PGA tour player is different… after they ingrained their swing and have control they can increase their maximum end range of motion in certain ways to increase power with a small amount of lateral movement being one of them…they can do this to the point to where they still maintain control. To come out of the box and just throw that at the general public is a serious disaster and should be talked about with a massive warning prior to!
@@PorzakGolf thankmsnfor the response. I thought that might be the case. But it's good getting feedback from your end. By the way, I see alot of your teaching in how max homas coach helped him modify his swing in order to accommodate his physical limitations dir to shoulder mobility.
I have such a hard time making a backswing without a huge breakdown of the lead knee. It kicks in toward my trail knee. Hate it and i cant seem to stop it
That’s a good question! we have evolved with our instruction to set players on the path of the least amount of manipulation throughout their swing, so setting them up in the spine angle that they need to be in throughout their swing has become the more optimal way to go about it!
That was becusse of the old hand release that used to be taught (and still is with older coaches who didn’t adapt). Proble is it required a lot more reps to develop timing than a body release would.
I tried your leaning forward, athletic stance for months and it kept causing an outside takeaway and my head and body to move away from the golf ball during backswing. Way too much weight in the toes. Had to feel balanced with 50/50 weight in heels and balls of feet to get a balanced swing back. The example of Cameron sisk - he is so extremely bent forward over his toes, I can’t understand how he doesn’t fall forward during his swing. Must have a heavy butt to balance it out 😂
Best video yet imo. You clarified a lot of questions I had in this single video. Thank you 🤝

It is informative to hear where you feel the pressure in your feet throughout your setup and swing.
Great video would this same posture drill work with the putter as well?

I’m naturally pretty pigeon toed so me keeping those feet square with very little foot flare is me feeling more flare than I would naturally be!
@@PorzakGolf thank you . Just to be clear so see no major pro or con with or with you foot flare?
Do you need to use the hip bump for the other steps to work ?

I appreciate you! 🙏🏻👊🏻
Nice ❤!!

Why do you think the old timers like Bobby Jones, Bryan Nelson and Ben Hogan stood so upright with little ben from the waist?
