Thanks Randall, great information. I've dealt with back problem with golf for a long time. I wish I knew this a long time ago, but with this great tip I'm looking forward to trying this and hopefully start enjoying golf without the back pain. Thanks again.
Is this with irons only or driver too
This is a great video. I am currently suffering from heel shots and back pain. I tend to have a double fault. I tend to slide my hips forward too much and get under the swing and hook.
Question: To get your right hip over shoe laces, how does your right leg need to move, more lateral instead of out? What about getting off your right side too fast and working to keep right heel down longer?
Pushing the right hip through seems to be helpful for me for clearing out to make better contact. Looking forward to practicing this.
Thanks for the tip to avoid back pain!
Outstanding tip on hip movement that looks subtle to the golfer but (as you point out) is CRITICAL to stress on the back. Thanks Mr. Hunt!!!!!
I can't wait to take this tip to the driving range. I'm currently a 15.5 handicap but have been challenged by early extension and heel shots for the longest time. I really hope this works for me - I will circle back at a future date with my results. Thank you.
THank you, from a low pain sufferer and early extender, causing the awful “ pitchout”….
Something for me to work on.
Love the tip.... a small but vital directional cue... I've seen a couple videos of my swing when I did this, and it matches up with well-struck shots. My wife asked me if I ever hurt myself golfing... and my answer was 'only when I swing badly!"
G'day Randall, Thank you for this explanation, I may be suffering from this flaw - corrective action will start soon. I note you have a tonne of professional clients - do you weigh them and add them up. I have no idea how to measure a tonne of space. Unfortunately, I hear " a tonne of" sports commentators noting a tonne of just about anything. Sorry, I am 80+ and a pedantic person.
