Скачать или смотреть Swing Essentials Golf Tip: Hip Movement for Distance

Hip rotation is considered a cornerstone of the golf swing because it acts as the primary engine for power and clubhead speed. Proper hip movement is essential for establishing the kinetic chain, which is the sequence of energy transfer from the ground up through the body and ultimately to the club. During the backswing, the hips coil to store potential energy against a stable upper body, similar to winding a spring. This coiling motion, primarily involving internal hip rotation, is then rapidly and sequentially unwound on the downswing, starting with a subtle weight shift and the powerful rotation of the hips. This fast, forceful rotation is what efficiently transfers power from the large, strong muscles of the lower body (like the glutes and hamstrings) to the smaller muscles of the upper body and arms, creating the maximum clubhead speed necessary for long, powerful drives and irons.

Beyond raw power, correct hip rotation is also crucial for consistency, accuracy, and injury prevention in the golf swing. The hips initiate the downswing, and their proper movement dictates the timing and path of the club. When the hips rotate and clear correctly, it allows the arms and club to drop into the ideal swing plane from the inside, preventing common faults like swinging "over the top" and resulting in a more square clubface at impact for straighter shots. Conversely, a lack of hip mobility or an incorrect rotation sequence (like swaying or sliding) forces the smaller muscles of the back and arms to compensate, leading to inconsistent strikes, a loss of control, and a significant risk of lower back pain and other injuries. Therefore, maintaining flexibility, mobility, and strength in the hips is vital for any golfer seeking a repeatable, powerful, and pain-free swing
