The Importance of The Hips In The Golf Swing

The hip movement in the golf downswing is one of the most important moves in the swing. The lower body action needs to initiate the downswing. This is where the term "swinging from the ground up" originated.

When starting the downswing, there is a slight push from the inside of the back foot causing the right knee to move toward the target. When the knee moves the hips start to rotate which causes the shoulders to rotate and the arms to move. If you allow the arms to just drop at this point the hands and club will drop also, and the rotation of the body will bring the club into the ball with a natural release of the wrists.

One thing that needs to be mentioned and it refers to the hip rotation. Because women have wider hip girth than men it is harder for women to rotate as quickly as men to generate club head speed. That difference in rotation speed could only be judged if they were the same stature and conditioned physically the same.

The swing sequencing is still the same for both genders.

Fortunately there is a golf swing aid that will help get the thrust needed to move the body properly toward the target, it is called "Pivot Pro" and is available online.
