The sideways travel of the hips is significant. To keep things simple, we sometimes hear the suggestion to turn and unturn the Hips. Unfortunately, this suggestion makes it seem like the Hips rotate back then rotate through. That would make things easier, for sure. However, early rotation of the Right Hip in the downswing could be one of the most common and destructive problems facing most golfers.

As you hover over the button, the image for that frame will appear. Likewise, when you click on the button, the frame information will appear. However, if you click a second time, the frame information will disappear.
Finish Right!
When the Finish is seen compared to Address, it is very apparent that the entire Rightside is moving Right of the target. The overwhelming instinct is that the Rightside turns around to the left.
Frame 6
As we have mentioned so often, the Right Hip is constantly moving along its 20-degree path. This motion encourages the Right Shoulder to move even farther to the right. Therefore, moving effectively to the right after Impact with the Right Hip and the Right Shoulder can prevent the problematic "over the top" move.
Frame 1
When you look at the trace that the Right Hip follows, you will see what we call "the candy cane." When you see the trace, the Left Hip follows, you will see what we call the "fishhook."

Therefore, moving effectively to the right after Impact with the Right Hip and the Right Shoulder can prevent the problematic "over the top" move.
Frame 5
The Right Hip continues on its 20-degree path to the right. Unfortunately, so many tend to turn to the left instead of continuing in the outward direction.
Frame 3
When the Hands are level with the Right Shoulder in the Downstroke, the work of the Right Hip is starting. The arrow here shows the Right Hip moving 45-degrees toward the target line. With the clubshaft level and parallel to the target line, the Right Hip will settle into its 20-degree direction until the end of the Stroke.
Frame 2
The Left Hip has gone back to the Right 4.5 inches on an approximately 20-degree line. This Left Hip location is the furthest it goes to the right. At this point, the Left Hip begins moving back to the Left. The Left Hip travels on a straight line 14-degrees to the Left.
Frame 4
From the Impact frame to the Finish frame, the Left Hip moved 1.5 inches while the Right Hip continued its travel 8 inches forward
20-degrees. to the Right. At the Finish, the Right Hip has pasted the Left Hip by slightly more than 3 inches..
The long-held concept that the Hips work like "turning in a barrel" is certainly
Not what Mr. Hogen did. Before our work in the Lab, we thought there was a turn, a parallel slide with a Finish turn. Now we realize that a parallel slide can cause problems. This parallel slide tends to stifle the Left Hip work. The solution is a Left Hip straight-line slide that moves about 12 degrees away from the target line. As you can see, the Right Hip trace (candy cane) shows that the Right Hip stays inward.
