Let's clarify
Martee,

Have you bought into any of Jack Kuykendall's notions. Jack hits balls from a stool, hits them quite well. Unfortunately he sits on a swivel seat and rotates 45 degrees on BS and through 90 degrees on DS - powering from the legs. Pure junk if you have.

How far can you hit a ball while seated? Anywhere close to full distance? If so you have an amazingly strong torso and have at it.

If your answer is 200yds. I regret to inform you that in order to move that ball out there 300 you need to find not 50% more power but 125% more power. You would only find this kind of muscle mass in the legs. This is not amplification . This is the real deal.

Muscles above the hips do not turn the hips. period. Think the twist. Equal and opposite reactions etc...

What happens in the golf swing is the hips rotation drive everything else. If you want add some torso firing, left shoulder effort or anything else into moving your golfers flail, have at it and enjoy the struggle.

I'm done

Golfie
