In golf, distance doesn't begin with the arms. It begins with the ground. Every truly powerful swing starts from the feet and winds its way up through the body: with the hips as the engine room.

The Truth About Hip Power

Hip torque is the key bridge between acceleration and maximum velocity. Your ability to rotate and drive from your hips decides how much force you'll generate and how well that force travels into the swing.
