IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• Josh does a monthly Q & A session: http://boggspga.com/questionsforjosh/

• How to achieve lateral hip slide-after you get to the top of your backswing, and you start to swing the club down, Josh is a big proponent of laterally moving your hip to your left (if right handed) and have weight forward on impact. Use an alignment stick.See episode 6 on his website for the full tutorial

• After you’ve conquered the lateral hip motion, then you can start to add speed.

• Be set up to the golf ball, bump your left hip out before taking a swing, then take a very small swing (a little less than a half swing)-the distance you hit it will surprise you!

• It’s not just about the quick tip or a how to do a drill; it’s also about the “why”

• When you shoot down-the-line vidoes, make sure it’s at the same height and angle every time

• Consider getting the V1 app for some easy golf swing analysis
