I need help with slide control

Ive been trying to work on my slide but at times i slide too much and it restricts my hips it seems like i'll end up pushing shots. Any drills or tips to help control my hip slide?

thanks

"Former PGA Tour great Jack Nicklaus advises golfers who are pushing shots to the right -- from a right-hander’s perspective -- to investigate a faulty hip turn as the likely culprit. Nicklaus says players who push shots most often slide their hips toward the target on the downswing, rather than rotating."

I checked out the video and will look at foot pressure in a minute out back. I do know when i start a slide and if i just do it right, just a tad, everything follows correctly. My problem is sometimes i push too far pulling me, this will make my hips late, not properly rotating and it will also throw my balance off forward.

should i just stop the slide and just rotate normally? normal weight transfer does well for me but i notice i dont hit down on the ball as much as im wanting with my irons- the slide helps process.

Seems only these 5SK guys advocate 'sliding the hips' as opposed to most instructional schools which tell us to 'twist' or rotate.  My belief is that only fast rotation can give optimum (maximum) club head speed but twisting more difficult for those who did not learn at young age. So, sliding the hips will give, say 70% of optimum, and is much easier to learn and do consistently.  Therefore, to make more golfers  better players and happier, hip sliding becomes the message.

Seems to me "those" 5sk guys advocate what the better players "actually" do. Not what they think or tell people they do.

Actually your wrong on this. You need to slide your hips. If you just purely rotate, which most amateur do, your turn rates will be off. Your hips will stop rotating, and then that will just shut down the whole system. I can see were your getting the idea, if you slide, not rotate, then your not going to gain speed because your not rotating. That's no what happens, the problem is most amateurs rotate to early.

What sliding does is fit everything together as well as help make sure your hitting the ball first. Also, 5 key's doesn't advocate just sliding, they advocate sliding an turning. The lead hip does move towards the target, but it also moves back and up. As discussed its as a power accumulator, i believe. You increase pressure on your front leg, this helps create the slide. Then your lead leg extends upward in a jump move as your hip moves back and up, creating rotation as well. I wouldn't say sliding hips decreases the ability to generate club head speed.

Thanks, Erik. I'll see which produces better results.

while i wasnt doing exactly as the video, i was trying to create that feeling of stepping down like the drill and it helps. By focusing on that rather than my slide it has helped control the slide compared to flowing too far over. now its just recreating it over and over.

thanks

What tiger feels like he says he does, and what he actually does are probably two different things. Just because he says he keeps the weight on the inside of his right foot, doesn't the weight is actually there.

I think a lot of people take slide literally. I mean it does happen, but for me small movements in the swing equate big movements on video. If you increase pressure on your front foot, and if your hips are turned on the correct incline, you will slide your hips. For me its not a big feeling though. I think a lot of amateurs want to get a big feeling of something happening to validate the swing change. In terms of sliding the hips, they artificially create this feeling with a reverse weight shift, the upper body moving backwards.

I believe i was over exaggerating my slide. even though i dont have anyone to film it for me - the realness was pulling me forward.
