Left Hip - Bump or Turn

[keiko]

Re: Left Hip - Bump or Turn

I have never been a fan of the"bump" simply because it can produce a balance problem. Turning through is a natural result of turning back. After all, why do we take a backswing if not to coil our upper vs. lower body. Uncoiling then is easier.
Remember, lazy legs=pulls/hooks; overactive legs=pushes/slices.
p.s. didn't you used to have a different avatar?

Guys

Im still having problems with the club getting stuck behind me some and still trying to find ways of working out

I've started expirmenting ( without a ball ) with the concept of my hip move being much more of a turn rather than a lateral bump. The aim here to clear my hips quicker and give my arms more room to swing in front of me

Now this seems to give me a much free-er swing through the ball but im wondering whether this move would encourage an over the top move? Im not trying to keep my shoulders back and when i look in a mirror it seems this move does drop my arms into the right place (i.e the clubshaft across my left arm)

Perhaps because i have so got so used to coming so much from the inside, i need to feel like I clear quicker and have more of an over the top feeling?

Could it really be as simple as removing the bump and replacing with a turn?

Pushing off the right foot(for right handers) is much better than hoping for that bump.

Left hip just establishes itself over the heel of your left foot. It happens by pushing your weight off of your right foot and turning your left hip.
