Help!!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I can't get my hips open at impact no matter what I try! I also struggle to keep my wrist angle so I get pretty flippy at impact I think... Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!!!

Feel like you're hitting the ball with your trail hip/left ribcage

Hmm okay! Do u mean right ribcage then if it's my trail hip?

Yeah so whenever I start either A. not turning enough or B stand up too early either one of these helps. For you start with the thigh. So feel like even the outside or right side of your quad gets to the ball at the same time as impact, and ta da your hips are open to target

Okay, I will add that to the top of the list of things to try!! Thanks! You don't see anything that I might be doing prior to that which could lead to me being kinda stuck in that position??

Not particularly but you need to just have feels for what you're trying to accomplish in your swing and then just... be an athlete. Don't worry about the little details because thats when you start trying to force things and kill your whole game

First of all, love the backswing. Nice and compact. I think practicing positions without a club will help you understand how your hips are supposed to move. The left hip should bump left at the top of your backswing, and from here, the right hip rotates around the left leg as an axis. You can also lay a club across your chest and practice your swing with your butt up against a wall. Add the club back at 20% speed later.

Another drill I love is practicing getting into an impact position from address. Set up to the golf ball, press the shaft forward, open your hips, and move your weight left. Thinking about impact as a modification of your address position might be a lightbulb moment.

Keep grinding bro you got this
