Transition from backswing to downswing?

[golfin88]

Hey guys, I'm kinda new at this and this is my first post. I started playing 3 months ago after getting extensive amounts of lessons and sticking with them. I still am having a little trouble with the transition of the hips and the legs and making the transition to the downswing. Anyone have any good tips or drills I could possibly work on, it would be fantastic
Also any drills on holding my lag longer would help as well.

The first move to your down swing should be your legs moving forward. A drill is to put a shoe box inside your back foot and it will fall striaght forward if your swinging correctly.

If you play right handed try swinging with your left arm only in a continuous motion. Not stopping at the setup position. Start small going back. Once you've felt you are at the end, twist your left hip, you'll feel your arms get pulled through hard. The swing yoru left arm back, you'll be able to get a bigger arch the next time through. Get to the top of your now larger back swing, feel the end of it, once you're there, twist that left hip hard again and feel the arm dragged through. Repeat 10 times. Hope that makes some sort of sense?

Two birds, one stone. I think this will help with both moves you're looking for.
