‘FEET TOGETHER HIP-HIP’

(Balance In Life)

Due to space constraints, we blocked our editorial shot a little right, and missed getting our three 'Bullet-Proof Drills’ or exercises to you in the previous issues of this very responsible and informatively entertaining weekly magazine. Here's another.

This is our ‘555 GOLF ACADEMY’ 'HIP-HIP' exercise which is a balance and swing generator. It naturally creates a ‘Motion’ that works comfortably and effectively under pressure.

Remember your feet are the foundation of your golf game. (We know that the ‘Mind Aspect’ is all too often a shaky gang plank as well. Tend to it!) Pay particular attention to the placement and balance coming out of your feet. Neither too wide nor too narrow are beneficial. Get the bottom end of your 'Golfing Machine' correct and you can make good swings! A proper 'SET-UP' is key!
Herein lies your ‘STANCE and ALIGNMENT Components’ of the overall ‘Swing Evolution’.

5 SET-UPS:

Accomplish the ‘5 SET-UPS’ before you begin. These are 'Static or Passive' tasks. If you are not sure of what they are "JUST ASK US!"

‘SET-UP’ with a relatively 'Narrow-Footed STANCE’ (heels 3 to 6 inches apart) and ‘Swing the Clubhead through the Ball along the Target-Line to the Pin’ not taking your Back Swing past waist or arm-pit high. Finish no higher or slightly higher than you started the downswing. This swing limit is really no great task in that the natural swing, ‘Brace Side - Target Side’ is dynamically a 'mirror image' and you can test this by making some smooth practise swings.

5 EXECUTIONS:

Now ensure the '5 EXECUTIONS' which are the 'Dynamic or Active ' tasks are working satisfactorily. Again, if you are not sure what they are, "JUST ASK US!"

The 'HIP HIP' exercise is very compact and will help you both feel and define that very important 'IMPACT and SEPARATION Zone'. You will become aware of maximum acceleration and ‘POWER DELIVERY and RELEASE’ in your pendulum. It's naturally in the bottom of ‘Swing-Arc’ or at the end of what we call ‘Swing Segment #2F’.

Do a dozen of these low-power, short-distance but very accurate, target specific shots. Then set your ‘STANCE’ back to normal width and continue to practise. ‘Swing the Clubhead Down the Target or Body Line’ and ‘Swing In Balance’. You will feel more stable and the swing will be smoother. This exercise actually 'Calibrates Your Balance' by sending good signals to your brain recognizing that the ‘Swing Is Balanced’.

OPTION:

‘Brace Foot Toe’ lightly touching the ground beside the Target Foot Heel’ making the same 'Hip-Hip' shots to a specific quarter-sized target. (the PIN) You can also vary this ‘Bullet-Proof Drill’ by alternating the ‘Toed Foot’. This exercise variation ‘Isolates your Toed Foot’ in each case and thus focuses on different balance physiology. The ‘Toed Foot’ is what we at the ‘555 Academy’ call ‘Zeroed Out’. Try doing both. We call this 'Isolating the Parts' and it is very important in understanding how your body actually puts together one simple smooth golf swing at a time with the variety of parts each doing its correct job at the right time.

We call this ‘MATCHING Components and Procedures’.
