Hip movement from Padraig

Never had it explained like this before. Makes sense but almost feels impossible to do. Maybe because I have been swinging wrong for so long.

Padraig has been so helpful in these videos - thanks for sharing

Paddy has spent some time with GG. 
 

what he talks about is why I think guys like GG, Bradley Hughes, Monte, Chris Como, and a few others do a good job in their teaching. There’s some others out there that talk about pressure and using it for the swing.

Ya this feels so foreign to me. My hips do not like to move this way. Long offseason(s) goal

Martin has a video up on his Instagram with some clients doing a push the chair back drill. Might help start getting the movement down

Yea, I'm aware of the need to clear my left side/hip and sometimes make the raised right hip in forcing it.  Use his tip about driving the left knee towards the right foot on the backswing and the right towards the left foot on the forward swing.  I find that helps me a little.  It feels so natural when you make the moves correctly but doing it consistently is challenging.

Although Padraig has tried to explain the hip movement in his own style , there is an alternative theory  that could explain the 'what/how' is happening from an anatomical standpoint (but it will take a lot of mental stamina and further investigative work to understand the function of the muscles being discussed).  Once you have committed several hours reading through it all in detail you will have (in my opinion) a better appreciation of how the pelvis  moves in pro golf swings.

The above article is complemented in the below video

PS. There are some TGM references at the start (for 1st 4 mins) regarding power package and intact flying wedges (which you might not agree with from a theoretical perspective) but then he goes into more detail on the pelvic movement.

Well these videos were pretty helpful. This has been a struggle for me all year and I apparently do the "worst thing in a golf swing to do" because I thrust my hips forward through my swing and am losing a lot of power (amazing I can still swing fast). This like @rbsiedscsaid is an offseason NEED for me. I have to clear this issue up, but I have been swinging like this for years and is difficult. @Wildthingthat video is great and will be using that thank you.

This is a great video. Watch this and Malaska's lead hip back video with Eric Cogorno, and enjoy. Really a completely different understanding than most have of the swing.
