Understanding+the+Pivot+(Leg+&+Hip+Action)

Very important to understand how the lower works in the golf swing. The pivot is the engine that moves the arms, hands and club into a position to hit successful golf shots. Most people (me included), have very limited lower body action that creates down swing faults such as the chicken wing. While I believe in the concept of always keeping the club out in front of you (Hal Sutton), I also believe that you must have separation of the lower body and upper body (Paul Azinger) in the downswing sequence. It is also a well known fact that top players will have their hips open at impact so you can see the left part of the butt on the down the line camera. My fault is that my hips are square at impact and do not lead the upper body.
