[VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC0EHipdAtY[/VIDEO] Show me were you see any lateral movement in that, because all I see is a turn

I like big putts and I cannot lie.

And I don't mean a slight lateral movement I mean no turn at all

Put your mouse cursor next to Rory's head and watch the swing. No movement.

Put your mouse cursor next to Rory's lead hip. Lost of lateral movement.

I've been saying that the entire time I have the lateral part down but my head moves forward as I showed in the picture

I don't agree and neither does Erik. You need to slide more.

So slide but keep the head centered is way your saying

Yea. Like I said, that slide your hips thread I linked earlier in the thread shows lots of evidence of this move. The slide part is strictly a lower body thing. Check it out if you don't believe me or haven't yet seen the thread already.

I saw the centered pivot thing and I think I do that. But I don't understand how to slide and stay centered

Use the wall drill. Put your head against a wall without a club in your hands and feel your hips sliding. You'll be able to tell if your head is moving because it's up against the wall.

If you can't feel your hips sliding, then change positions 90 degrees so your left side faces the wall. Put your lead foot near that same wall and feel your hip sliding until it hits the wall. That way, you'll be able to tell that it's moving.

Or, take your camera and film yourself making these movements without hitting a golf ball to see what your feel actually makes you do. The hip slide thread describes a lot of these movements BTW, and how the feet should be working during this. Your trail foot rolls onto its instep before rising up, for example. Good luck, man.

I'm gonna go back to watching Tiger vs. Bob May on GC right now

love this thread.

Have just vtaken a video of myself.

After muting my brides comments was disgusted to see hip sway on backswing & a lot of it.

Almost my first movement is hips moving back & then they just keep moving.

Cant believe it ! Cant believe I can even contact the ball never mind play to 9.

Love the Hogan photos . His hips move the opposite way on backswing, brilliant.

No excuses.

Sapere Aude.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
