As modern day golf erupts with instruction on how the body works<\/a> to create club head speed, it’s very apparent that most in the game don’t know what they’re talking about.<\/p>\n

In this article covering a recent Premium video on how the hips work in the downswing, I’m going to put the myths to bed and show 3 players that are notoriously fast “hip spinners.”<\/a><\/p>\n

You may be shocked to see how they slow their hips down<\/em> to move the power up the golf\u00a0kinetic chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rory, Dustin and Arnie! Oh, my!<\/h2>\n

\u00a0\"RST<\/a><\/h2>\n

Listening to commentators on Sunday or instructors on, well, just about every day has made you feel that spinning your hips will help you generate a crazy amount of power, and all your distance problems will be solved.<\/p>\n

The problem with this mentality is that it is FALSE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The power displayed by greats like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Arnold Palmer was not built on racing hips through impact; it was built by decelerating the hips<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The speed created by the hips early in the downswing<\/a> is transferred up the kinetic chain, allowing these 3 players to unleash the power into impact.<\/p>\n

Here’s the proof<\/h2>\n

All 3 of these players have\/had great flexibility. (I throw the “had” in there for Arnie’s sake, obviously).<\/p>\n

When you see their tremendous windups and their amazing club head speed, we are all set to believe the announcers in the background taunting us with their notions about\u00a0hip speed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In reality, all 3 players shift their weight into the left and have started unwinding their hips long before the back swing even comes to a completion.<\/p>\n

That’s all fine and dandy, but when you actually break down the swings, you notice their hips slow down to a crazy, crawling pace before impact<\/strong> and allow the other powerful parts of the body to deliver all that built-up energy.<\/p>\n

Look at all 3 powerful players below, where they’ve slowed the hips down so much they almost appear to move backwards!<\/p>\n

Arnold Palmer sequenced his down swing beautifully by decelerating his hips and moving the power up the kinetic chain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These 3 players, who pack tons of power into their games, understand power delivery and what makes it work. The kinetic chain ain’t nothin’ to mess with!!!!<\/p>\n
