You know how you read something over and over or watch different You-tube instructors tell you something and you get it mentally, but somehow cant translate it to your own swing until all of a sudden you get it, not just mentally, but physically. That just happened to me with this video. No matter how hard I tried to match what I was told, I would still fall off my back foot or turn with my weight still on both feet.....until I did what you said....and now my finish is clearly on my front foot, I can tilt my shoulders at impact without hitting behind the ball. Thank-You.
Thanks Rob - Exactly what I needed. My GolfTEC coach was telling me tonight that I was swaying too much away from the target. This helped me visualize what I need to do.
Great instruction as always. The only doubt I have is where should the hips be at impact? Looks like in your swing, your hips are facing the ball. I thought having the hips more open at impact was the goal like the swing you should at end of video. Or is that over thinking it? I get pushes and was thinking if hips were more closed that would straighten swing path. But my hips seem to stall or maybe that is not my problem at all.
what must happen for the swing you are describing with the sway of the hips to be completed as successful with a three quarters backswing. The tendency would be to hit behind the ball and not ball first.
I have a tendency to do the opposite, and sway my hips away from the target during the backswing. Are there any drills you can suggest to stop this from happening? Aside from “don’t do that”, what should I be feeling, as I take the club back?
That shift is so important & that timing is so interesting in that one should start moving the hips forward before the backswing is even finished. When I do it right I think it helps me with my early extension problem.
One of the best instructors I've seen. Really explains things in a simple way. I never really heard about stack and tilt, prob don't have weight forward enough but use many of the tips, drills that Rob shows. Truly thankful, my game is substantially better than it was 6mths ago.
You definitely has all points of golf cover. The way you bring those points out is super clear. I have been using your TH-cam VDO instructions as the complete guide to golf. Thank you Rob 👍👍👍
Another clear explanation Rob with great visuals. I agree about Athletic Motion Golf and it's great you are 'grown up' enough to recommend others. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi Rob, very confused with the variety of professional view points of the hips in the swing. I have to ask you this one question please, does this action that you are demonstrating only apply to golfers using the S/T method? Great video, brilliant actually. Thank you. Jerry
Hi Rob Thanks for another great video. What was the reason(s) for starting to sway one’s heap towards the target just prior to one reaching the top of his back swing please ?
Thanks Rob for another great lesson, nice of you to promote other teachers of the game. I like the way you give your lessons over others, you're easy to understand, you keep it simple and you don't drag on the lesson too long. A+A+A+A+A+
Rob, great video and VERY insightful. Getting hips forward for me seems to reduce rotation and causes head to fall back. I've been focusing on keeping hands very close to body on downswing and almost finishing with the "umbrella" look and no conscious sliding of the hips. This has really helped in keeping my hips out of the way of my hands. If I focus on hips moving forward I tend to slide too much, early extend, and lose angle in shaft vs. forearm among other things. Am I on to something? Thanks!
Great information Rob.I wish Golftec was available in the UK, I would book lessons there immediately. Do you know of any instructors in North Yorkshire that think and teach the same way as you do and that you’d be happy to recommend?
Another great video. My problem is when I sway my hips forward I find my weight falls backwards. And I’m hitting off my rear leg. Especially with my driver. Any drill that can get my weight more forward ? Thanks
Thank you for for the great lesson. On the exact movements of the hips, wouldn't a top down view be even better, as we can then see a cross section of the hips in the plane of rotation, more or less, and exactly how the hips shift and rotate in that horizontal plane. During the swing, where should we picture the location of the pivot or centre of rotation? Left / right hip, navel/tail bone, or a point in between those ? Or is this going into too much detail?
Rob, the forward movement looks pretty similar between your S&T swing and standard swing with the best ball strikers. The rotation seems to be less as your hips dont seem to be cleared or open as much. Why is that?
Another great visual. You've obviously got a lot of flexibility. Can you feel this the same way with an abbreviated rotation-EG3/4 turn. Thanks much. Can you recommend a Golf-Tec instructor near Sanford,NC? Be good.

My greatest weakness. Thanx for the fine tuning on my hip turn
This was an excellent and helpful video. thank you for posting
Anther great video and explanation. Thank you Rod.
Great explanation..again..
Excellent!
Great Job, Rob...

AWESOME 👌 👏 👍.
BRILLIANT illustration with visual motion aid!

I am getting the shift and turn but the more I do it the closer the strike gets to the heel.
That shift is so important & that timing is so interesting in that one should start moving the hips forward before the backswing is even finished. When I do it right I think it helps me with my early extension problem.
Joe Dante and Mike Austin taught this decades ago. Thanks for confirming with latest technology Rob.
You don’t have to wear the sensors anymore??? How does THAT work? Does it give just as accurate an assessment in 3D as the old way?
Is it just ball strike potential one loses without the forward sway? Does one lose ball head peed and distance as well?
most important and most difficult to train and to execute, honestly speaking. from my own experience, of course.
Hi Rob, in your initial setup are you starting with more weight on your left side?

Fantastic video Rob!
@@golftecasia Good thanks, life looks good in Singas 👍🏌️♂️
Great explanation
Where's the weight in the top of the backswing
Do ya need to think about it tho? Or does it just happen
@@golftecasia okay gotcha I’m playing tomorrow so I’ll have to think about doing it cause when I’ve tried it it’s magical honestly
@@golftecasia Thabks would it affect my game if I have to think about it in my round do ya think?
Well done! Keep up the good work!🏌🏽♂️

@@golftecasia Love the Optimotion technology. Game changer!

Great video. Does the same apply for the driver or less amount of shift?

And how can ya make it natural
Rob, the forward movement looks pretty similar between your S&T swing and standard swing with the best ball strikers. The rotation seems to be less as your hips dont seem to be cleared or open as much. Why is that?
I was looking at your swing at impact I would think your hand need to be father in front of the ball. I guess I'm asking is that sufficient shaft lean
Rob, great video! Any drills to better improve the sway, turn and push aspects?
Rob, I learn so much from you. Thank you for your detailed explanation. Good stuff!!
Arrghhh... It's official. I have completely inundated myself with to much information.
You are really putting out some great videos, I'm learning a lot. Thanks so much for what you do.
Is this stack and tilt ?
@@golftecasia i have no idea what stack and tilt looks like mate i just heard its a better way to go ?
@@golftecasia and this hip turn is the way to go for stack and tilt mate ?
Another great visual. You've obviously got a lot of flexibility. Can you feel this the same way with an abbreviated rotation-EG3/4 turn. Thanks much. Can you recommend a Golf-Tec instructor near Sanford,NC? Be good.
Another killer lesson, Rob! Really demonstrates how important hip slide to target really is. Holy Grail indeed!
