(The Key to Power, Timing, and a Repeatable Release)
In Day 16, Mike Malaska reveals one of the most important connections in the golf swing—how your lead hip socket and the clubhead must move together in harmony. This relationship determines whether your swing has effortless power or if it breaks down under pressure. It’s not about “turning your hips.” It’s about displacing your joints correctly to create a chain reaction from the ground up.
Mike breaks it down through slow-motion drills and short swings, showing how pushing your lead hip socket backcreates space for the trail hip to move forward, which activates your torso, shoulders, arms, and ultimately the club. If the hip doesn’t move back—or moves incorrectly—you’ll block your arms or flip the club, leading to inconsistency and loss of speed.
Whether you’re swinging a wedge or a driver, this concept is universal: power doesn’t come from brute force—it comes from sequence. This lesson helps you feel and train that sequence.

What You’ll Learn in Day 16:
• How your lead hip socket creates room for a clean, powerful release
• Why “joint displacement” is more effective than simply “turning the hips”
• How to sync the motion of your body with the clubhead through impact
• What goes wrong when the hips outrun—or block—the arms
• Why this connection improves consistency across all clubs, from wedges to driver

Key Takeaway:
The club and your lead hip socket must move in sync. When your body creates space by pushing the hip socket back, your arms and club can move freely and accelerate through the ball. Without that connection, your swing stalls. Build this movement into your practice until it becomes automatic.
