To learn golf quickly and effectively, utilize videos and diagrams to assist you to you goal more quickly.  The following is a brief excerpt from our books and videos.

After impact, the rotation of the hips decelerates dramatically. After impact, to finish, hip rotation looks slow. Don’t let this slowness deceive you--prior to impact, the hips are accelerating just as a slingshot accelerates! Watch the hips, close your eyes the instant you hear the sound of the ball being hit and, concentrating on the last image in your mind, focus on how far--and fast--the hips have rotated.

Unfortunately, you’ve hit some good shots.  From your good shots, your memory has captured a sense of the spatial relationship between your hips and arms. Once you start to snap your hips more quickly while staying supple above the waist, you’ll create more lag between your hips and arms.  Your memory will tell you your arms are too far behind your hips to hit a good shot, so you’ll fire pectoral and/or forearm muscles to try to force the club to catch up to a more (mentally) comfortable position.

Bob Toski in The Touch System For Better Golf: “You should feel that your club is lagging and that you are hoping it catches up. Never feel that you are forcing it to catch up.”  For me, this is easier said than done. For decades, I’d forced the ‘club’ from the top of the lift ‘n coil. But, with repeated sessions on the practice tee, I’m becoming more comfortable with greater lag. When I succeed at quickly whirling my hips and staying supple above the waist from address through the ball, the quality of the shot is stunning,
encouraging, uplifting--exhilarating!!
