>>> Jack and others, I visit the site on a daily basis and read all post. I have noticed that there are many post about what the upper body does during a high level swing. My question is .....What the best way to train the lower half to work with the upper half. <<<

Hi Dan

Although upper-body mechanics has been the main topic of discussion lately, the lower-body has been covered extensively in past threads. Your question is timely. How that we have discussed the difference between the term “weight shift” and the actual development of momentum, I will start a thread on what forces induce “hip rotation.”

One of the main themes to be discussed is what role “linear momentum” plays in generating hip rotation. Below is a post from the archives that addresses the themes to be discussed.
