Travis Fulton on the Knockdown Wedge (Video)

Here's a tip from trainer and GC regular Travis Fulton on the way to hit knockdown wedges. I always like to see new ideas on a way to play common shots, but Travis mentions some thing you could not have heard before.

This concept of no longer turning your hips completely as you hit the ball goes towards everything you normally listen approximately the golf swing nowadays, and there may be a cause for that.

Most contemporary instructors have historically taught which you want an exaggerated hip power and much less arm movement. (That's Hogan's concept.) Belief in that concept, as I even have noted in lots of posts -- over the previous few months in particular -- has begun to trade. To finish your swing without completely releasing your decrease frame, that's what Travis is coaching right here, calls for you to apply your hands extra. You have to swing your hands past your lower frame -- and that is surely a natural motion for most people. You simply loosen up your arms and hips a bit, and permit your shoulders turn past your hips.

The truth is that maximum of you do this often to your each day lifestyles, whether or not it is sweeping with a broom or simply shifting an item from one spot at the table to any other. You can discover ways to do it with a golfing club as well; it's in particular a intellectual component for maximum gamers. You've educated your self to do it the alternative way.

As a popular rule, you don't need to restrain your hips on your followthrough. But if you attain the factor wherein your palms and shoulders are pulling your hips through in your end, in preference to driving your hips to pull your hands through, you may in all likelihood have fewer returned issues going forward.
