Get More Distance: How to Use Your Hips in the Golf Swing

Hip rotation in the golf swing is one of the most misunderstood sources of power — and getting it right can be the difference between weak contact and explosive distance. But only when you understand how to use your hips in the golf swing properly will you start seeing real results.

Some golfers rip their hips aggressively through impact, while others arrive at the ball with their hips nearly square — both extremes rob you of the lower body power you need for consistent, long drives.

In this video, you’ll learn how to find the right balance in your hip movement through impact and when it actually makes sense to feel a push from your trail side versus a pull from the lead side.
