WHAT IS HIP TO HIP?

Hip to Hip is a new breakthrough method of understanding the golf swing. It is based on the simple principle that the golf swing is only composed of three moving parts - the arms swinging, the shoulders turning and the hips turning. The bottom foundation of the shoulder turn and the whole golf swing is the proper winding and unwinding of the hips. It is simple to learn, and easy to improve through drills. And it will actually square the clubface at impact in a manner that is extremely more consistent than manipulating the clubface with your hands or wrists, which is a disaster that causes the worst kind of inconsistency.

Far too many books and teachers of golf focus too much on the arms and the clubshaft movement and not enough on a strong hip turn. It does take a lot of practice and work to develop a good hip turn, but the move itself is simple and anyone can learn to do it right. Even Charles Barkley, who, if he focused on his hips winding and unwinding correctly, would fix his swing RIGHT NOW. I invite you to take a look at Breakthrough in Golf. It will NOT fill you head with mechanical golf technique and mess up your mind. Instead it will free your mind of clutter, eliminate paralysis with analysis and give you an overall golf swing philosophy and fundamental understanding so that you can judge any golf swing tip or method with your own litmus test. You will learn how to understand the golf swing just like Tiger Woods or Ben Hogan. Wouldn't you like to get to that level of understanding? So give it a try. I guarantee that you will come to understand how to hit a golf ball like you never have before. And if you don't I will be glad to give you your money back for the purchase price of the book.

WHAT'S THE BIG GOLF SWING PROBLEM?

The key to hitting excellent golf shots is based upon squaring the clubface up at impact, right? But when the wrists are rolling over at impact to do so, incredible inconsistency results. Too much timing is in the mix. But Hogan, Tiger, and all the greats discovered that. They used or use another method to square the clubface. It is not based on timing or wrist rolling. Great players square up the clubface at impact by unwinding the hips. In a very precise manner. Exactly so that the hips are leading the downswing to the degree of being OPEN at impact. There is no other reliable way.

It is that simple, yet that hard. Simple, because that idea seems easy enough to say, and seems easy to grasp. But it is so hard, because that move is in reality not easy to adopt johnny on the spot, but is a highly trained, sophisticated move to learn. But with a little patience and practice with a few drills you too can "get it".

Ricky Barnes's swing in the 2009 U.S. Open lacked any hip drive in the downswing, and his off balance finish revealed that his arms got faster and faster and he lost control of his swing and the ball. The right move comes only to the golfers who are "lucky" enough to unwind the hips naturally - without trying (and that's very rare, believe me!) - or to those who really know how to learn and improve that move. You can learn and improve that move too. I promise that if you read "Breakthrough in Golf", you will learn it and fully understand it. And you will learn how to build Hip to Hip into your muscle memory, which is the real secret of golf.

IS CHARLES BARKLEY ON THE RIGHT PATH?

Question: Is Charles Barkley on the right road to golf swing recovery? Hank Haney claims his problem is not in his head but his swing. I claim his swing problem is not in his arm swing or arm swing plane but in his hips. If he learned to swiftly and strongly rotate his hips properly on the downswing, he will immediately stop dipping his head and hitching his downswing. He is on the wrong path of re-engineering his swing and the sooner his hips start moving the better he will immediately be.

Do you think he is on the right path to swing improvement?
