Hip Movement.
(Changed -01/12/2011)
Please Note.
At the address position the hips are frontal facing,
the legs are frontal facing and the centre line of your hips is
directly over the centre of your stance, therefore as the back swing
movement is performed, although the hips will rotate away from the
frontal facing position, you must not allow the hips
to sway away from the centralised position.
Although the left knee moves slightly forward from
the original address position and the right knee moves slightly
backwards from the original address position as you perform the
back swing movement, the legs remain in the frontal facing position
as set at the address position -- the legs will not make any lateral
movement away from the original address position if the back swing
movement is performed correctly.
However,during the down swing movement it is slightly
different.
As the hips rotate towards the target area and go beyond a certain
point, both legs will be forced to move laterally towards the target
area.
Towards the end of the back swing movement the
rotational movement of the upper body unit will force the hips to
rotate away from the frontal facing position and the weight of the
body will move slightly onto your right side. However,
although the hips will rotate away from the frontal facing position,
and the weight of the body will slightly move onto the right side,
the hips must not be allowed to sway away from its original address
position, they must be firmly held in this centralised position.
As the shoulders are held at the end of the back
swing movement for a slight pause, the hips are forced to rotate
towards the target area thus initiating the down swing movement,
but although the hips will rotate back to and beyond the original
address position, again the hips should not be allowed to sway away
from its position of being centralised over the centre of your stance.
Therefore you must teach yourself to rotate the
hips whilst they remain centralised over the centre of your stance.
It can be done, it simply requires a bit of concentration
This equally applies to the head
position.
