Walk Back Drill for Hip Movement | Mike Malaska & Eric Cogorno

Описание: Struggling to get your hips moving correctly in the golf swing? 🏌️‍♂️ You’re not alone. Most players either lock up their hips or try to force rotation, which kills rhythm, balance, and power. In this lesson, Mike Malaska and Eric Cogorno share one of the most effective training moves you’ll ever use: The Walk Back Drill.

This drill teaches you to move your hips naturally by simply stepping back with each swing. Instead of overthinking mechanics or “forcing” hip turn, the drill lets your body do what it already knows how to do. You’ll start to feel your hips work in sequence, your joints free up, and your swing stay in balance — all without straining your back or losing posture.

When done correctly, the Walk Back Drill helps eliminate early extension, builds a stronger connection between your lower and upper body, and allows you to create effortless speed. The best part? You can do this drill anywhere — at the range, in your backyard, or even inside without a ball.

Mike and Eric also explain why golfers often feel like they’re moving straight back, even though video shows their hips are turning. That’s the key: great players aren’t thinking about twisting — they’re reacting, moving, and sequencing naturally. This drill unlocks that same feel for you.
