Milo Lines explains the vital role of the pelvis in the golf swing, focusing on how it must 'drop and move away' during the downswing. This motion creates a necessary 'window' for the hands and arms to clear through impact, preventing early extension and simplifying the strike.
The pelvis should lower and move away from the ball line during the downswing.
Correct pelvic movement creates a 'window' or space for the hands and arms to swing through.
Moving the pelvis toward the ball (early extension) forces the golfer to compensate with the hands and arms to find the ball.
Keeping the hips back better aligns the body's center with the ball for a more athletic and consistent impact.
