Bump? or Not to Bump?
I received an Email from one of my students: Do I need to bump the hips to the left before I turn them, or do I just turn them after I have completed my backswing? Regards Eddie Hi Eddie If you were able to maintain at least 60% of your weight forward, you will be able to just turn with no problem... if you allowed some or a majority of your weight to move to the back foot, or you didn't setup with more weight on the front foot to begin with, you can not just turn. You will have to bump the hips to the left (as you and many others say an do) ..and what it means is, you will not be very consistent with your ball striking. If you don't move the point where a pendulum is anchored, the ball at the end swinging, will return exactly over the spot at the bottom of the arc... but if you move, where it is anchored, even a little, then try to return it to the original position while the ball is swinging... there is almost no way to ever return it over the origin...
