Hello - just joining and looking to drop a few strokes (like everyone). Currently a 1.8 index but struggle with hip slide / hooking / blocking.

Any suggestions appreciated!!

Thanks,
Mark

Hi there,

Playing off 1.8 you should already be well conversed in all aspects of golf and the skills required, you have no doubt spend many hours at the range working on things, which you have no doubt worked on many times before.

Hip slide, so did Hogan, it is impossible to slide without turning the hips...!!!

Pushes and blocks we all hit from time to time, caused by many 'swing faults' but mostly by trying to do something during the swing, lack of confidence.

I suggest you look at this thread and make your mind up if this may help you, sure did me.

Hope this helps

Ian.
