Discover the crucial differences between hip sway and shoulder sway in your golf swing and learn how each affects your performance on the course.
00:00:00.000 From this point forward is where we
00:00:01.480 start to see a little bit of difference.
00:00:03.120 Now, if I come back over here on the
00:00:04.520 Anne,
00:00:05.239 >> [music]
00:00:05.600 >> you'll see from position five here that
00:00:08.240 her hip sway keeps increasing or moving
00:00:10.600 towards that target in a pretty quick
00:00:12.160 manner. Her shoulder sway, however,
00:00:15.000 actually starts to go backwards or move
00:00:17.040 away from target. Now, as we start to do
00:00:19.520 that, you'll start to see a change in
00:00:21.360 her spine angle and how her shoulders
00:00:23.160 are further away from target than her
00:00:24.720 hips. This is going to be really
00:00:26.160 important for Anne controlling her low
00:00:27.720 point hitting in front of the ball, but
00:00:29.320 also creating a ton of power. Now, when
00:00:32.119 we come over here to Beth, you'll see,
00:00:34.060 [music] again, nothing wrong inherently
00:00:36.120 with what we see here, but as we start
00:00:38.160 to move down into the swing,
00:00:39.955 >> [music]
00:00:40.280 >> you'll see that her hip sway doesn't
00:00:42.440 quite move as quick as, say, her
00:00:46.240 shoulder sway does.
00:00:47.160 >> [music]
00:00:47.400 >> And now we're starting to see that these
00:00:48.800 are starting to become pretty level.
00:00:51.120 Again, big [music] difference between
00:00:52.680 the amount of shoulder sway and hip sway
00:00:54.160 on Anne,
00:00:55.280 not so much on Beth over here. So, now
00:00:57.080 that we've kind of discovered what's
00:00:58.760 happening in Beth's swing, now we can
00:01:00.520 start to try and help her and get this
00:01:01.920 thing fixed.
