I think i may have asked this in another forum after @Bonesaw started expressing opinions on hip extension.
This is not a question just for you Mud but anyone. As I was trying to feel hip extension, i felt like the question that W=W was asking were valid. I felt like my hip ran out of runway and that i got to full extension with no more power.
The difference in the two swings above IMO are the top swing isn't anchored and is posting up with an arm driven swing. Miggy on the other hand is anchoring his back leg and his 'middle' (for a lack of better terms, however i feel the hips do not drive, but are being driven by core muscles - abs and obliques) is what is pulling the rear leg forward. So i didn't think he was driving his hip into extension with his glutes, but rather pulling them with core.
I only comment on this because i tried to feel that movement myself, but it doesn't feel powerful.
So maybe i am just doing it wrong, and the only way i can 'hit with my hip' is if i drive the core to pull the hip to hit.
fanboi,
Bonehead seems to think he knows what’s best. Even though you try these things and they don’t seem to make sense or get results and experts in the field say what I say. But Bonehead knows. He’s never coached or instructed anyone. But his stills, weightlifting videos and long drive videos will get you through.
I liked your analysis of the 2 swings above. Will wasn’t full intent there so, not a reflection of his game swing imo. At the end of the day you gotta trust your gut and what you see on VIDEO. Another anchored swing. Good spacing between the feet. The back leg is the brakes and creates hip extension. It’s a result. Not an intent imo. Good luck !
