Re: clearing the hips
Hi Larry,
The term is used to explain that on the downswing, you must rotate the hips fully to 'clear them' out of the way of the arms comming down.
Take a slowmotion swing and as you swing down think about putting your right elbow into your right trouser pocket and take both through together, this should give you the sensation need to for clearing the hips.
Hope this helps
Ian.

Re: clearing the hips
Thanks for your help. I have tried it several times in the backyard since you sent your message. The results you ask??? Fantistic!!!! I feel that I finally have a thought to keep in my mind that will enable me to start the downswing correctly rather than by rotating my shoulders.
Wow and I have only been a member of this site for three days.... what will a week be like??
seriously, thanks for your help.
