[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.

    • 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).
