Lead Hip Mobility -THROW TO THIRD

One of the keys to creating power and solid impact is shifting your weight into your left hip during your downswing. This move lets the energy from your lower body transfer into your upper body and arms (yep, power in golf travels from the ground up). To improve your weight shift, think baseball, not golf. Imagine you’re a batter at home plate and your right hip is a baseball. As you swing from the top, “throw” the baseball (and your right hip) toward third base as you start your downswing. This will drive your weight into your left hip, clearing the way for your hands and the clubhead to whip through the impact zone unimpeded and at top speed. This only works if you have sufficient mobility in your left hip.
