Hip Forward, Head Back

Perhaps the most important part of the swing is the transition, that crucial moment when the club changes direction and begins moving toward the ball. Just before your shoulders have completed their turn on the backswing, your lead hip should begin initiating this transition. First, it needs to move laterally, toward the target, until it's stacked over top of your front foot. Once there, its job is to now rotate or “clear” out of the way. While the hips are moving laterally, it's crucial your head resists following along. The more it moves prematurely forward, the more likely your shot will be compromised. Someone guilty of making this mistake may experience thinned shots, abnormally low ball flight, and, generally, inconsistent contact. So as your lower body moves dynamically forward during the transition, your head needs to stay back, behind the ball. The moment the ball is struck, then let your head release toward the target so you can swing freely through to a full finish. “Hip forward, head back” is a great thought to focus on during the transition.
