Gain Distance After 50 By Learning This Simple Move! #golf #golfswing #golfer #golflife

In this video, Golf-Ed instructor demonstrates how to regain lost distance by fixing hip rotation in the backswing. He highlights the common mistake of the trail hip rising too high and provides actionable drills using an alignment stick and a wall to ensure the hips stay level and properly loaded for maximum power.

• Avoid letting your trail hip get significantly higher than your lead hip in the backswing.
• Hips should rotate as a reaction to the shoulder turn, staying relatively level.
• Feel a stretch in your trail glute and keep weight on the instep of your trail foot to create resistance.
• Use the Wall Drill to ensure your hips stay back (maintaining depth) to prevent early extension.
• Correct hip loading allows for ground-up power generation without swinging harder.
