SO what’s the big secret? Do more with your hips than turn them.
If you don’t feel a “snap” at impact or the ball doesn’t come off your driver with much power or you hit pop-ups with weak slices then this lesson is definitely for you.
If you are a righty, then you need to do move your left hip up and straighten your left leg; if you are a lefty then you need to move your right hip up and straighten your right leg.
You need to practice the steps below in slow motion first to get a good feel for what you body needs to do.
Step 1:Start down from the top of your swing by moving your hips slightly toward the target.
Step 2: With your hips set forward, turn them toward the target as normal and swing the club down with your arms.
Step 3: When your hands reach waist high, start moving your left hip up while continuing to turn it behind you. Your left leg should straighten as a result.
You will accomplish two things by doing this. First, you create resistance that your right side can use to smash through as you turn toward the target. Second, you ensure that your release happens at the bottom of your swing, not before or after.
These two things will give you the explosive power you’ve been wanting.
