Hip rotation is a significant part of your golf swing. Your hips work together with various other body parts to create a good rhythm and tempo. The hips help make power, control accuracy and maintain the shape of the club's surface.
Failure to rotate your hips properly can pull or push the ball and inconsistent strikes on the club.
You must rotate your hips continuously throughout the entire swing. To do this, avoid swaying your hips to help your lower back.
It’s imperative to have mobile hips to allow maximum internal & external rotation to produce power & reduce the amount of pressure on your lower back!
Turn, don't slide. Swaying your hips is far from rotating them. It's something you shouldn't do because it creates weird tilts in the spine.
It prevents you from rotating fully during the downswing and results in over-the-top shots.
You want
stability in the lower back, and swaying deviates from that.
The average golfers underestimates the significance of hip rotation in the golf swing.
It is hard to achieve steady speed and consistent ball striking without using the hips correctly. However, most golfers focus their training efforts elsewhere.
This reduced hip rotation not only adversely affects swing tempo but also
negatively affects your lower back over time.
Fast Fact:
Research studies evaluate that out of
30 million golfers in the United States,
over 80% suffer from back pain.
Although this sport is fun, swinging at a golf ball repetitively can put the body in an uncomfortable position and be easily injured.
Moving your hips is incredibly important for the golf swing and many other physical activities.
We hope that these workouts will help you maintain lifelong mobility and prevent disability.
The golf swing always necessitates a solid foundation to be flexible and robust.
If any area lacks a proper movement pattern, it's essential to fix it before bad things start happening.
Because there is nothing worse than compensation for the golf swing, the only specific results are bad scores and
lower back pain.
