 CORRECT

This is the correct hip motion.  Start your forward swing with a slight lateral hip motion while keeping the shoulders coiled up or closed.  The hips should rotate open after this lateral motion occurs.  Golf lessons help you discover how to do this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INCORRECT

The hips have turned left much too quickly, prior to any lateral motion, causing a spin out and an outside in swing path.  All golf teachers know that the swing path is one of the most importatn components of the golf swing.  As an LPGA golf teacher I am always working on swing path issues.

 INCORRECT

The hips have moved laterally too far causing the whole body to move ahead of the ball and will causes overuse of the hands to square the clubface up.  Golf lessons help you understand how to co-ordinate the arms and the body in the golf swing.
