This is a good read .. Tiger pushes right when he slides too far and doesnt turn quickly enough i.e. too much axis tilt http://www.theefficientgolfer.com/anal-tiger-woods.html
I am 99% sure Tiger does not start his downswing with his hands |
Tigers hips may be shifting and clearing at the start of the downswing, but not because he's physically turning his hips.
From the top of your swing, move your left knee out toward the target. Your hips have to follow. They're attached.
Part of the reason so many people swing OTT is they have no patience to allow their lower body to "set" to take the ever increasing speed of the arms in the downswing.
No set to prepare for the speed = ugly lunge with top half/OTT/get ahead of the ball. Set the legs first then swing away. If your left leg is out toward the target from underneath your body, you can swing pretty hard and in balance with your dominant side.
