Angle Your Hips for Power

Problem

You are losing power in your swing, but are not sure why. A common culprit is poor hip position and the associated swing path. A swing that is too steep will cause your forward hip to drop and results in a loss of power. Conversely, an incorrect hip angle will tend to cause a steeper swing.

Cure

You need to swing the club along an inside power path by angling your forward hip higher.

Therapy

Place your club across your hips. Then adjust the end of the club that is pointing towards the target about ten degrees higher and align your hips so that your forward hip is now ten degrees higher as well. Take practice swings with your new hip alignment. This will to encourage you to swing from the inside and power the club through the ball.
