In this tip I am talking about a very easy way for you to feel what the legs and hips are doing in the downswing. I always ask students that are struggling getting their legs moving into the downswing and say; have you ever thrown a ball before? Of course everyone has and get them to throw a few and you will will also find out that using your legs into the downswing is exactly like throwing a ball overhanded. Try this a few times then you will get the correct feeling.

AndrewO'RourkeHi Paul,
As I am a left handed person ,who plays right handed golf, I don’t think this tip is suitable for me ! So is there a tip similar to this to allow for lefties playing right handed golf. Understand completely if there isn’t !

Paul WilsonEven using your opposite hand to throw a ball, you would still be using your lower to power the throw. So trying this a few times would help. Check out any of the other tips on legs/hips, here are a few to start:
