I know that im supposed to get the hips and weight forward in the downswing but at the moment im just getting stuck, as in my hips just wont move , maybe im thinking about it too much and im tensing up i dont know but its very frustrating. I was hitting the ball fantastic last summer with my weight finishing on my front foot and well balanced etc and now at the start of this golf season its just all gone.

Does anyone have any good drills to ged the hips moving forward?

Im going to try this bottle on the back foot drill over the next week http://www.andrewricegolf.com/tag/foot-work-in-golf/ has anyone tried it? thoughts?

One tip from the SnT book: place an empty soda can under your left foot, and try to crush it during your downswing. You won't if you don't shift your weight forward enough.

The step through drill worked for me, takes a while to get used to and you feel like randy Johnson coming off the mound or happy gilmore but like I said, worked for me.

Couldn't you just video your swing and look for this on the replays?

    • Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs. 
    • It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
