Contact comes from connection, not chaos.

Golf performance coach Justin Langhill explains how improper downswing sequencing leads to 'fast hips' and inconsistent contact. Using an alignment stick in the belt loops, he demonstrates a drill to help golfers keep their hands in front of their hips during transition to prevent shanks and toe hits.

• Hips moving too fast from the top of the backswing causes a disconnect between body and hands.
• Using an alignment stick in your belt loops provides immediate feedback on your hip-to-hand relationship.
• Excessive hip rotation toward the ball often results in shanks, while pulling away results in toe hits.
• Focus on pressing weight into the front side during a 3/4 backswing to feel the correct sequence.
• Correct sequencing helps the club come down on plane for significantly better ball striking.
