Hip
Action- Master - (Changed

Using the movement of the hips
to generate extra power.
Any sports activity that use the arms to apply
power, (such as boxing, athletic field events, racquet sports,
cricket, baseball, golfing etc., ) all of these sports require
a rotational movement of the shoulders to generate any significant
leverage to the arms.
However, what is not generally acknowledged
is that the power generated by the rotational movement of the compact
upper body unit can be dramatically enhanced by the correct use
of the hips.
For example, in boxing, instead of simply rotating
the upper body to deliver a right hand punch, the power of the punching
action is significantly increased by co-ordinating a rotational
movement of the hips with the rotational movement of the upper body.
Therefore by correctly using the hips during the
golf swing, a similar increase in power can be achieved, i.e., by
rotating/pivoting the hips in an anti-clockwise motion whilst the
compact upper body unit is held momentarily at the end of the back
swing movement, thus dramatically increasing the torsion of the
muscles between the lower part and the upper part of the body and
giving the down swing movement the essential explosive element.
