Stop the Hip/Foot KICK OUT - (Pro vs Amateur Foot Work)
David Atkins explains how to eliminate the 'hip kick out' move where the trail hip stays too high and flat in the downswing. By optimizing pelvis distance at setup and focusing on a downward rotation of the trail hip, golfers can achieve pro-level footwork and more consistent ball striking.
Position your pelvis about one club head's width behind your heels at setup to avoid thrusting forward.
Maintain weight through the balls of your feet rather than the toes or heels for better balance.
Feel the trail hip move 'down' toward the ball in the downswing to prevent it from staying high and flat.
Proper footwork involves the trail foot rolling inward rather than kicking out toward the target line.
Focus on a rotary move where the lead hip moves back as the trail hip moves down.
