A lot of golfers struggle with clearing their hips, and it’s probably because no one explains it properly. If your arms get stuck behind you, leading to weak, inconsistent shots, this is for you. Here’s the fix:
The Right Downswing Sequence:
1️⃣ Lateral Shift First – Shift your weight to your lead side before anything else.
2️⃣ Arms Drop Early – While shifting, start pulling your arms down. Don’t wait!
3️⃣ Rotate – Once the arms are in position, fire your hips and turn.
4️⃣ Push Off the Ground – The final move is a vertical push to generate power.
Drills to Fix Your Sequence:
🔹 Shift Board Drill – Helps you feel the correct weight shift before rotating.
🔹 Alignment Stick Drill – Teaches you to shift first, get the arms in front, then turn.
The mistake? Most golfers rotate too early, leaving their hands behind. Get the arms down first, then rotate aggressively. Fix this, and you’ll start hitting effortless, powerful shots. Try it and see the difference!
