[Power and Distance] Using Your Body To Get Through The Golf Ball For Power!

Mark Solomon of Golf Made Simple explains why excessive hip rotation often leads to a 'hanging back' weight transfer, killing power and accuracy. By demonstrating the Kneeling Drill, Solomon shows golfers how to move their center of gravity toward the target to create natural propulsion. This technique helps eliminate slices and fat shots caused by an improper center of gravity.

• Over-focusing on 'clearing the hips' can cause your center of gravity to stay behind the ball, leading to poor contact.
• True athletic power in golf comes from the center of gravity moving toward the target, similar to other sports.
• Hitting balls from your knees is an excellent diagnostic tool to feel if you are spinning out or moving forward.
• Excessive hip drive without flexibility often results in an 'over-the-top' swing path or an open clubface.
