The Pelvic Thrust That Drives You Insane

Ok, please forgive me for the Rocky Horror Picture Show reference. (For my worldwide readers who may not be familiar with it, the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a science fiction / horror / musical comedy movie from the 1970s that has become a cult classic -- in fact, it's the longest-running theatrical release in film history (over 40 years) -- and the title of this post is a line from a song called The Time Warp. I'll include the YouTube video at the end of this post, in case you're interested.)

Anyway, the "pelvic thrust" I'm regarding is explained on this quick video from golfing.Com and Golf Magazine Top100 Teacher Brady Riggs:

Please be aware that this is NOT a slide in the direction of the goal. It's an UPWARD thrust that enables finish your weight shift and hip flip as you hit the ball. Riggs says this could assist you to hit it farther.

Martin Hall talks about this equal motion, although he focuses on in which your chest is facing. You may also have heard him talk about the "Iron Man" pass where -- if you have been the superhero Iron Man -- the mild on your chest might factor barely upward and above your target.

Brady Riggs describes this circulate as pushing your tummy up and closer to the target at effect. This helps you get your weight for your lead facet with out sliding closer to the goal. (If you slide, this flow will throw you off-stability.)

This is one of the higher descriptions I've heard about how to get the best weight shift and hip flip. Wish I'd been the only to consider it! If you discover ways to do this correctly, this is one a part of your swing that shouldn't pressure you insane anymore.

And -- as previously threatened -- here's The Time Warp. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is notorious for the number of future stars who appeared in it. Some of the actors you might recognize: The "normals" who stumbled into this madhouse are a very young Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon, and the narrator (the guy who keeps saying "It's just a jump to the left...") is Charles Gray, who played Blofeld in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever. And although they aren't in this clip, Tim Curry starred as the evil Dr. Frank N. Furter and even Meatloaf made an appearance.
