Rear hip stability
Created by Ned Lloyd
The task
Setup to the ball with a mid-iron such that an object (e.g. a club or alignment stick) is touching your rear hip. Take backswings in slow motion, looking at the ball in the normal way (do not cheat, and look at your hip). Feel that your hip remains in constant contact with the ball throughout as you turn back to the to of the backswing. Feel the stretch in your hip at the top of the backswing, then go ahead and hit the ball towards a target.
