Increase Power in your drive with this golf tip from GOLF Magazine's "Lighthorse" Harry Cooper in 1968. By making a level hip and shoulder turn at the top of your swing and eliminating it at the bottom you can ensure to get the most power out of your swing path. By making sure your hips bump into your forward foot and changing your center of gravity, this will cause the club to lag and create a whip-like motion. >> TODAY’S POWER TIP IN GOLF MAGAZINE COMES FROM LIGHT HORSE, HARRY COOPER, IN 1968. >> WHAT LIGHT HORSE WANTED US TO DO WAS TO MAKE A LEVEL HIP AND SHOULDER TURN IN ROUTE TO THE TOP BUT, THE MISTAKE THAT MOST AMATEURS MAKE IS, THEY MAKE THAT SAME LEVEL SHOULDER AND HIP TURN ON THE WAY DOWN. THAT PROMOTES AN OUT-TO-IN SWING PATH, THE CLUB FACE TENDS TO BACK UP AND HIGH POOF BALLS TEND TO OCCUR, WHICH MAXIMIZES A LOT OF BAD SHOTS. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE THAT SAME LEVEL SHOULDER AND HIP TURN TO THE TOP. FROM THERE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR HIPS BUMP INTO RIGHT FIELD, MOVING OUR CENTER OF GRAVITY FROM OUR RIGHT HEEL INTO OUR LEFT TOE. AND, WHEN WE MAKE THIS MOTION, THE CLUB WILL LAG AND A WHIP-LIKE EFFECT WILL HAPPEN AND THE SHOULDER AND HIPS WILL TAKE OFF THROUGH IMPACT. THAT WILL GIVE YOU MAXIMUM DISTANCE. NOW, REMEMBER, LIGHT HORSE WAS TALKING ABOUT A SLIGHT BUMP. THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUMP WHERE YOU FEEL GENTLE PRESSURE ON YOUR LEFT TOE AND A FULL-FLEDGE SLIDE WHERE YOU FEEL A BOWING OF THE LEFT KNEE AND WEIGHT GOING TO THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR LEFT FOOT. SO LET’S REVIEW. WHAT LIGHT HORSE WANTED US TO DO; SAME SHOULDER/HIP TURN TO THE TOP. FROM HERE, WE GENTLY BUMP OUR HIPS INTO RIGHT FIELD, ALLOWING THE CLUB TO DROP UNDER AND, FROM THERE YOU WILL MAXIMIZE SPEED AND POWER. IF WE DO IT CORRECTLY, IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THAT IS J.B. HOLMES LONG, RIGHT THERE. Less
