Tip of the Week

Eliminate Overactive Hips
Hip control is an essential part of the golf swing, the quieter we can keep them on the backswing the more resistance you create which leads to more power. The opposite is also true however, over active hips can cause great inconsistency and a serious loss of distance.

Here is a great drill to keep them "quiet" during the swing:

Take up your normal stance but turn your feet inwards slightly. Now hit a few shots, immediately you will be able to feel the difference. It may feel restricted but continue this for a few shots then return to your normal setup trying to feel the same movement.

Happy practicing!
Ryan
