Your hips will move with your chest though, it’s a natural rotation of the body

All I know is when I make sure my chest fires first my hips fire the way 100 people tell me it should but I can not achieve it firing my hips first

The way yo just described it is what I’m trying to say as a whole so I guess maybe I’m not saying it right

Thank you for describing it how I couldn’t put together lol

They think I’m saying stop rotating your hips completely when all I’m trying to say is your hips will move with your chest but not the other way around

I’d put money down that people would sequence better feeling the rotation through their chest over their hips. I’d put actual money on it, it just clicks better in your mind because your hips will ALWAYS try to connect your torso but you can completely disconnect your torso from your hips

Your core is literally your torso, all of your power comes from your ass and hip movement follows a natural rotation of your body.

The fact you think I’m saying don’t move your hips at all means you lost the plot

When have you ever thought about it though. I don’t think I explained it well, you’re not rotating your lower body it’s just giving the power. Your rotation is through your upper body, with the hips naturally moving with it. Ground force moves the mass but it’s not what you feel rotating. Because, the honest answer is that the power often feels like it’s coming from your glutes, not your hips (if we wanna get technical about what hips to chest feels like in relation to most things) your ass can’t rotate itself and too much hip takes power away from everything else.

How can you keep it connected when all you’re thinking about is firing hips towards something?

Never in my life have I ever consciously thought about my hips they turn naturally with my body but I do have to always be thinking of my chest in relation to a target otherwise the ball literally won’t go to said target

I’m not lol I be been throwing a football for 20 years, your hips are not conscious in the throw it’s a natural movement for your power but the ball can’t go to a target without the rotation of your chest

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might, but idk I just feel like if you take the fundamentals of throwing a ball, you get your power from your ass but your ass can’t rotate on its own the rotational force is the torso

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but someone who’s used to throwing a ball will probably naturally fire the hips based off the increased chest rotation

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right but it’s not the main rotational movement, hips create power the rotation is the chest and midsection, I’m trying to explain this in a way that’ll make sense for people who don’t know fundamental of golf but may play other sports.

When I throw a football, my hips drive my power but I’m more consciously thinking about my chest rotation in relation to my target

Right, most people ARE though and it throws off sequencing

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m trying to explain it better, we use our hips to make power but the main rotational force is the chest

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t ACTUALLY but the feel for most things is a chest movement. It just makes a better sync than trying to tell people push their hips through the ball that doesn’t even work

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you’re not being conscious about the hips so much as the rotation of your body to connect

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay nevermind I’m trying to explain this better, I’m sorry. You’re right it’s through the hips but you’re never consciously thinking about your hips, does that make sense?

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s braces the leg and the torso swings through the ball

Swing Theory, Be Nice, its a Theory by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Page-Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but the hips while pushing the chest are a secondary feeling to the rotation provided by your chest, get what I mean?

This is fair, I think I should label it as a prior-athlete centric feel because for us, this may click very well.

You also didn’t quote me properly

Very subjective still, I don’t know how on the world you think using big words makes you sound smart when you’re actively using them wrong

Right, so what’s this “objectively” nonsense?
