Pros vs Joes: how hip turn can increase distance

With Bryson DeChambeau pushing the limits on the PGA Tour and Kyle Berkshire hitting 302 yards 8 irons on Instagram, weekend warriors are mystified by how these golfers can create so much more power while they continue to hit the same distances or shorter year after year.

One of the biggest differences that GOLFTEC’s SwingTRU motion study found after looking at hundreds of thousands of swings was how much more PGA Tour players turn their hips at impact than lower skill level players. This movement directly correlates to skill and more importantly- power. Let’s dive into what hip turn is, and how you can get the most of your swing to hit the ball farther.

Description:

Hip Sway: The lateral movement of the hips toward or away from the target.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the hips have moved toward the target at the top of the backswing, closer to the professional golfer at 3.9 inches toward the target.

Key Benefits: Accuracy, Distance
