    Great great lesson, Eric and JT. But man, Eric really drags this along a little much :). JT is ready and Eric is holding the suspense.

    As a baseball hitting instructor, I mention this sequencing in virtually every video and lesson. It really is a key to building stretch and slotting the bat without a ton of tilt. Great work.

    What if your hip starts moving forward earlier than the 75% mark of your swing, or even slightly before the down swing starts???

    you use the terms, hip and pelvic movements/rotation interchangeably! do they have they same 'job' in the swing?

    Anyone else get annoyed by Eric’s talking slowly to empathise a point like we are thickos

    The problem is he is not doing in his swing what he is telling us to do he doesn't start his hips until his hands are all the way to the top

    I try to feel like my left hip goes down/sinks/gets heavy to start with hips. JT looks like he does that too. Is that the right transition move or is that a feel versus real?

    Golf is not one size fits all. There are a lot of ways to swing.

    Where people get lost in this is that they are considering hip rotation and lateral movement as one thing. It’s possible to rotate back while laterally moving the hips forward. You can clearly see the hips moving laterally toward the target while also rotating back to complete the backswing in the final split screen slowmo.

    I will never forget about 60 years our local pro told me that Hogan did just that. I should have listened. As a youth ,I heard but I didn’t listen

    This should never ever be a conscious move. If it is a natural movement..why would you need to think about it?

    If you don’t have natural abilities you can’t learn this move .

    At the point of moving hips forward and arms back, I tend to tighten my grip realy hard and swing like crazy! How do you keep arms relaxed?

    I think it would be helpful if you had someone who struggles with the concept on the video try to implement what you are trying to teach. It would help the audience relate and connect.

    I struggle to lead with hips. It seems to help if I concentrate on starting the downswing with the left knee moving toward the target.

    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It makes sense that as the hands are traveling back, the hips would balance this in the opposite direction. Looking forward to developing this feel.

    Hale Irwin had it right.. just say to yourself inside right.. and outside left.. it works

    i used to do this drill inadvertently when i was working on my takeaway, pausing for a quick second to make sure the clubhead was in the right position but never thought about the transition part. makes sense why i was hitting it soooo much cleaner than my regular swing, i need to start doing this again

    Issue I have with all these instructors is one swing for every person and that's not the way it works. Alot of things need to be taken into consideration. Just like a baseball swing. Point is getting the bat or club into the slot. I actually started using the swing of the female on here. I believe her name is Erica. It has completely changed my game where the club does all the work. I don't worry about angles and when you let the gravity take over using the body swing about 20 different things are taken care of without having to think about them just based on the way you swing the club using the body

    They make it look so easy. This is so hard for me smh

    This doesnt make sense to me. They are saying move the hips forward halfway through the backswing. But as I watch the drill, they are literally moving forward as he does the downswing.

    I believe the key is in your weight distribution at set up to allow the natural initial leaning of the leading hip. You shouldn't try to manufacture the hip lean otherwise you will never be consistent as your timing won't be consistent . With a 60% (leading foot):40% (trailing foot) weight ratio at set-up, your hip will naturally lean forward at full pivot when the backswing gets to the top. There is a reason why better ball strikers (good golfers & pros) lean their irons grips slightly forward at address. It should happen naturally when you put more weight (60%) on your leading foot and 40% on the trailing foot, the club should naturally lean slightly forward because your weight ratio favors the leading foot.

    This is the worst advice I’ve ever seen. This is going to kill probably the swing of 80% amateurs. This is for pros or scratch players certainly not for amateurs who are going to be very confused. Amateurs need a swing as natural as possible with as less variables as possible. A long to do list and a long not to do list is a swing killer. Give a club to a 8 years boy or girl they will hit the ball without thinking.

    looks to be a re-centering or rocking of the hips rather than turning.

    I click on the screen names of all the haters on here, and none of them have a channel with their own content.
    Strange.
