The New Downswing - You'll Never Worry About Your Hips Ever Again!
Tom Saguto of SagutoGolf introduces a simplified downswing technique that eliminates the need to consciously time hip movement. By presetting the weight forward at address and using the shoulders as the primary 'engine' to rotate, golfers can achieve an automatic hip bump and turn for more consistent ball striking.
Preset your weight (roughly 70-80%) on your lead side to 'pre-calculate' the necessary hip bump.
Think of your shoulders as the engine; firing the lead shoulder downrange automatically pulls the hips into the correct rotation.
Avoid the 'shift-then-bump' traditional method to reduce timing errors and improve low-point control.
Shoulder rotation is the main booster for clubhead speed, while hips are secondary accessories that respond to shoulder movement.
This 'Hogan-style' preset movement helps shallow out the club path and stabilizes the clubface through impact.
