Wishing I was golfing now
I read an article yesterday regarding the different types of coil in the golf swing. Some people use their whole body to create coil. On the backswing, the hips, knees, back and shoulders all play a very active role, thereby producing coil against the feet. The article indicated that Fowler creates coil in this fashion.
Others produce coil in the upper body. The hips turn very little going back making the back and shoulders do all the turning and, thus, creating coil against the hips and legs. The article indicated that Villegas creates coil in this fashion.
I fall in between but closer to the latter. I create most of my coil in the upper body, turning my back and shoulders against more-steady hips. In previous years, I used to have more active hips, but for me, my ball striking, trajectory and distance is better when I have quieter hips.
Where do you produce your coil?
