Lately, when I am trying to get my students to understand how important the legs and hips are during the downswing’s pivot I talk about the pelvic “pistol”, and the “Fosbury” flop. Mr. Fosbury was the creator of the modern way to successfully execute a high jump. Here is a quote from the book “Stack and Tilt” that addresses the issue of “pushing hips through” during impact! If you understand this statement, you are on the way to creating power in your golf swing!
“→ Champion golfers use the ground for power by straightening their legs and tucking the butt under the torso, which allows the spine to extend.”
Look at these pictures and see how the “pelvic pistol” is fired to produce power!
