Stop spinning your hips.

In this GRF Golf tutorial, the instructor explains why golfers should stop trying to 'spin' their hips manually and instead focus on ground reaction forces. By using the 'Tearing the Paper' drill, golfers can learn to apply linear force with their feet to create more stable and powerful pelvis rotation. This approach helps translate foot pressure into efficient movement rather than simply rotating the femur in the hip socket.

• Manually spinning the hips often results in rotating the femur without actually transferring energy into pelvis rotation.
• Pelvis rotation is a byproduct of how you apply forces to the ground with your feet.
• Use the 'Bottle Top' analogy to feel how foot torque initiates the rotation of the pelvis.
• Apply a linear 'tearing' feel (pushing the feet apart) to stabilize the lower body and create a cleaner strike.
