Thank you. I will work on this at the driving range today. The two inch right hip move makes sense since I was looking for that “ trigger” to start the downswing.
I was encouraged when you started by saying the swing is actually a single movement but then you proceeded to describe three separate movements that have to accomplished in just the 1/4 second it takes to downswing to impact
I have to say Troy this is a game changer tip. I have been getting some positive progress with squatting to square to get the weight left and then posting up to release the club. Unfortunately I would often lose the downswing sequence by moving too far left laterally causing the hands to compensate. Or else my shoulders would rotate open too far too soon causing the same problem. This little shift move you recommend at transition completely takes care of the weight shift to the left while helping to keep the shoulders more closed coming down to impact. At least thats what I have felt it does for me. it seems to really be the missing link for me for impact consistency. Thanks very much for a fantastic bit of advice.
Another wonderful video Troy! Your instructions have helped my understanding of this game immensely since I first started subscribing about a year ago. These suggestions have had a huge impact on my golf game, taking my handicap solidly in the right direction. Cheers Bud!
Thanks Kevin, are you talking about how to get a great impact position with your irons? Or, what is the ideal impact position with irons and how to get it also? Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid hi Troy - it’s the whole body position please - some instructors say closed shoulders - others say arms through etc etc etc - thanks 👍
This right hip move at the top of the backswing has really improved my ball striking and distance. Thanks for that! My question is how best to sequence this move with pushing back the pelvis and dropping the left shoulder at the start of the downswing that you teach in other videos. I find it difficult to separate out these moves. Any suggestions on how to do that?
Good video Troy - clear explanation as usual. I like the 2 inch move idea. With regard to the ‘soft arms and soft wrists’ recommendation, is it not good to keep your left arm stiff and maintain a firm grip?
Just discovered your channel.. You have a very easy going teaching method that I can appreciate. I have a question. 'Been watching the transition, and left shoulder, right shoulder videos and they are making a lot of sense. What actually creates the power and clubhead speed? It looks like you are really 'pulling' the club around at the bottom with the hips and shoulders. But is also looks like the arms are moving quickly as well. Are the hips actually 'pulling' the club around, or is the hip turn just getting the body in a position to swing the arms in a proper path? I do practice the half swing routine, but I find that I am toeing the shots a lot more than hitting the sweet spot. Anyway this part of the swing has always been a little fuzzy. Again appreciate your channel.
Thanks, for me I feel like the hip rotation is getting the body in position and the upper body just comes along for the ride. If the hips move correctly and the arms especially remain passive, they'll naturally shallow up and get the club into a good position. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Happy to report I've come a long way today.. I haven't been using irons, because I just completely lost the feel for them. So I was experimenting with hybrids. But today, I pulled the irons back out. Employing your teaching, I got immediate and significant improvement! According to the launch monitor I was getting 185-195 yds with the 4-iron, 175-185 yds with the 5-iron, 165-175 with the 6-iron. The feel was amazing! Sweet spot most of the time. I'll work on the shorter irons tomorrow. Thanks so much for putting this all together in a way that makes sense.. I've been watching a lot of slow motion videos of the best players, and you are correct, they all do pretty much the same thing.
@@Hittingitsolid Unhappy to report that after that fabulous afternoon when everything came together, I have not been able to duplicate that performance at all. The next day I discovered that I had lost it all... Just could not make it happen again. I'm not set up for filming as yet, but I wished I had that recorded. For the time being, I've had to revert back to hybrids (#3-8). I can use a PW and a 9iron well enough. Still working on it. BTW; I was watching another video of yours in the living room and our new puppy was on the floor playing with a toy, as one of your native birds started chirping in the background, and that really drove the puppy nuts! Pretty funny!
@@Swede109g Yes, sometimes it happens in this game. Video feedback is great to get and shows exactly what's going on even though it didn't feel like it was happening. I'm sure you'll get back on track. Cheers
Good stuff as always, Troy. I agree with your opening statement about the transition being the toughest. Aside from not making the “two-inch move,” I’m almost always too quick on the transition. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Thanks Troy for another great video. I really struggle with this move because it seems so counter intuitive. I tried it yesterday on the course and hit a number of duck hooks. What do you think would cause that ?
Thanks Chris, sounds like you might be shifting a little bit too far laterally to the target which causes you to come too far from the inside. This causes the hands to take over and flip at the golf ball. Just be mindful of how much you shift, because too much can cause the trail shoulder to tilt back too much at the start of the downswing and then the problem occurs. Remember to feel that squatting motion at the start of the downswing. Hope that makes sense. Cheers
Some teachers are stating that the transition starts very early - when hands reach the hips on backswing the downswing starts eg Mike Malaska . Do you agree ?
@@keithlithander9648 Ensuring you get enough hip rotation so that at the top of the backswing your trail hip/butt feel like it's more at the target. Hopefully, that makes sense. Cheers

Number 1 technical guy on here. Really great stuff.
Thank you, appreciate it
Very comprehensively and clearly explained in such a calm manner. Many thanks for all of your help.
Thank you Rich
Great Advice
Thank you very much Lenard, cheers.

Thanks Ruta, all the best with it. Cheers
Great video Troy love your calm instruction and how you always explains things so well! This is something I’ll be really working on
Thanks Carl, appreciate it.
Great explanation of the sequence of the hip action.
Thanks Pat, glad it helped.
I was encouraged when you started by saying the swing is actually a single movement but then you proceeded to describe three separate movements that have to accomplished in just the 1/4 second it takes to downswing to impact
Yes, they are separate when practicing but is a single movement in a full swing

Can you please do a quick vid on the impact position- as sooo many conflicting views - thanks - love your instruction
Thanks Kevin, are you talking about how to get a great impact position with your irons? Or, what is the ideal impact position with irons and how to get it also? Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid hi Troy - it’s the whole body position please - some instructors say closed shoulders - others say arms through etc etc etc - thanks 👍
@@kevinmurphy8644 No worries Kevin, I'll get something out in the next couple of weeks. Cheers
Great video I'll practice this for a few days and let you know the results. Thank you
Thanks Lionel, be great to hear of your results. Cheers
Troy, great advice again! I wonder if this could (done incorrectly) lead to hip slide with the upper body trailing too far behind?
Cheers, yes it could. That's why slow rehearsals first of all to get used to the movement before speeding things up to the real swing. Cheers

Hi Troy would the more upright back swing deliver faster club head speed. ANOTHER GREAT EXPLANATION OF COMMON PROBLEM. KEN
Thanks Ken, not necessarily. It depends on what you do with your body on the downswing. Cheers
Good video Troy - clear explanation as usual. I like the 2 inch move idea. With regard to the ‘soft arms and soft wrists’ recommendation, is it not good to keep your left arm stiff and maintain a firm grip?
Thanks John, ok to have straight but I’d recommend to still keep it without too much strain and not too firm a grip pressure. Cheers

Thanks Dave, I would try and feel your back to the target a fraction longer in the downswing before your upper body starts rotating through. Cheers
The same move for a shorter backswing also. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Thanks, Troy.
@@werquantum You're welcome!
@@Hittingitsolid Agree!
Hi Troy, is the feeling for this moving the right hip around until I feel pressure in my left foot? Cheers
Yes that’s right

@@Hittingitsolid Thanks Troy. I'll give that a try.
@@chrisgotham763 No worries :)
Some teachers are stating that the transition starts very early - when hands reach the hips on backswing the downswing starts eg Mike Malaska . Do you agree ?
Hi Erica, for me I feel it starts before the end of the backswing at the top. But, everyone is slightly different how they feel it happen. Cheers
Is this the same as left shoulder down to start downswing?
Yes, a similar feel
When I do this move I get very dumped under plane when I watch it on camera . Is there a reason for this ?
Hey there, sounds like you are dropping/tilting your trail shoulder back too much causing the plane to go too far under. Cheers
I don’t understand what you mean Buy your trail hips point to the target.
Hi Keith, are you talking about the backswing or the downswing? Cheers
Back swing. I really struggle with the hip movements
@@keithlithander9648 Ensuring you get enough hip rotation so that at the top of the backswing your trail hip/butt feel like it's more at the target. Hopefully, that makes sense. Cheers
