    In the transition and DS, the hips move in anticipation of the upper body swing, in order to provide the equal and opposite reaction force. Without it we would be off balance. Job one for our subconscious is to keep us upright.(genetic)

    It has nothing to do with clearing lead hip. if anything, we need to be aware of trail hip clearing out the way for the arms in the DS and impact. With hips ahead of the ball in BS there will be space for arms in DS.
    The Johnny Miller video, shows how his trail hip moved toward the target during the BS, just as Ben Hogan and George Knudson. The “lateral move” or sway is toward the target in the BS.(equal and opposite reaction)

    ..more video with Savannah please.

    Really, Shawn… you should stop dropping Newtonian Physics terminology just to make it sound like you know what you are talking about. I’ll bet you never calculated a “kinetic energy” chain of events and you only throw the term about to sound clever. You’re not and you are misusing the term ‘kinetic chain’. You are only referring to a kinematic and geometric chain of events.

Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.

Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.

You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
