Feet together drill

Is this like a cure all drill? I am having a problem with little to no hip rotation on the down swing until after impact, I'm trying to get the correct feeling and movement for this. Would this be a good drill for this and still swing at normal speed?

Thanks

Re: Feet together drill

Hip turn is uaually always a weight shift issue, so if you have a problem turning in the downswing, good bet you still have the weight on the right side, (probably from a reverse pivot) which blocks a turn to the left, prevents a pivot left. Try this stand with weight even on both feet, you don't need a club for this, now turn hips right and left, works pretty easy, now move the weight to the right foot and try to turn hips left, hard to do easily, move the weight to the left foot and it is much easier.

A good setup makes weight shifting much easier is to setup with the left knee over the left foot and the right knee inside the right foot, this will put your static weight prior to swing on the left side, however once you apply the slight upper body tilt to the right, your balance will equal back out. Now when you swing this puts the upper body after the turn squarely over the right knee and foot which in turn gives you something to move to the left, and an easy hip turn left. Hope that helps.

Re: Feet together drill

Thanks for the tips:

The more I try to clear my hips it seems as my left hip is blocking everything-it won't get out of the way in time-going back to the sliding probs from awhile back.

I think it was Hogan that said if he made sure on the downswing that his right knee fired to the ball he could swing as fast as he wanted to-I can see how that would work-but when I made some swings my left knee would slide causing my left hip to block. Then you have tiger saying that he snaps his left leg at impact and I see how that should pull everything through -but I have tried that move before and it made me hang back on my right side. At one time (few years ago) I always played the ball just inside my right foot (with most clubs except driver and woods) I trapped it and it was solid and they were low -I got away from that because on par 5's I had no choice but to lay up especially over water......I got tired of seeing the low ball all of the time and made some changes-I don't know if they were for the better-because everyday is different and it should't be that way-but something is going on now to where I can't clear or even get back to square one.
