如果你希望上果嶺率更高，那就好好理解揮杆時該如何轉胯，來改善你的鐵桿擊球。
If you want to hitmore greens, create better iron contact by understanding how your hips move in the golf swing.
想象一下：你開出一記完美的小左，球剛好落在球道中間，距離果嶺就剩下150碼。球洞就在果嶺中間，為你攻果嶺這一杆留下了很大的容錯空間。
Picture this: You just hit a perfect draw off the tee. The ball lands in the middle of the fairway, 150 yards from thegreen. The hole location is in thecenter of the green, so you have plenty of room for error with your approach.
你的下一杆已經十拿九穩了，對嗎？因為這一球你已經在練習場上練習了無數遍。
That leaves a stock iron shot which should be textbook, right? You’ve hit this shot many times on the range.
但你卻心生猶豫：要是沒打紮實怎麼辦，誰讓歷史總是驚人地相似呢。
You, instead, have sweaty palms just thinking about failing to make solid contact, because history has proven the case more often than not.
於是，你小心翼翼地，沒有把握的那麼一試，
So, upon a timid, unconfident attempt,
內心OS：打的什麼玩意兒
果然就打厚了，留下了一個一切一推保帕。
your result is a chunked shot that leaves achallenging up-and-down to save par.
我為什麼要猶豫呢？
很抱歉如果結果不盡如人意，但很不幸的是，這種令人不太舒服的“爛熟於心的球”對許多球手來說都太司空見慣了。這也就是為什麼我們會來給大家建言獻策，讓你這些錯失的機會都成為歷史！
Sorry if that hit too close to home, but unfortunately discomfort over “routine” iron shots is all too common for many golfers. That’s why we’re here with advice to make those wasted opportunities athing of the past！
1. 位移什麼？
What did you sway?
鐵桿擊球不好有幾個因素。其中我們要檢測的重要的一項就是揮杆過程中你的臀部是如何轉動的。
There areseveral contributing factors to poor contact with your irons. An important one we’re going to examine ishow the hips move throughout the swing.
臀部位移--臀部或者說胯部的一種水平移動--它決定了你的揮杆圓弧的底部位置，或者說揮杆低點在哪裡。就像我們在揮杆大數據中學到的，臀部位移是球技進階的分水嶺。
Hip sway –the lateral movement of your hips – determines where the bottom of your swingarc, or “low point,” occurs. As welearned in our big-data study of the golfswing, hip sway is a major differentiator of skill level.
所以，臀部位移影響擊球。球打得扎不紮實的，是否“先球后草痕”，還是打薄了打厚了？這其中的差別，臀部位移會告訴你。
Ultimately, hip sway influences contact. So, itrepresents the difference between solid, ball-first shots and fatted or thinnedshots.
那些經常被教“要把重心轉移到右腿” 的高差點球手，相比那些打得更好的人來說，臀部通常往遠離目標的方向位移，結果導致揮杆最低點老是不穩定。
High-handicapgolfers who have always been told to “shift their weight to the trail leg” tendto sway their hips farther away from the target than better golfers, which often results in low-point consistency issues.
2. 臀部位移往哪邊？
Hip sway this way
那怎麼修正臀部位移？在瞄球時就要做好調整，而且一直保持到揮杆結束。
Our simple solution? Make an adjustment at addressand maintain that change throughout the swing.
1. 在做準備動作時，臀部朝目標方向調整，這樣你的皮帶扣就差不多在你杆頸的正上方。一旦開始揮杆，繞著你的皮帶扣轉動，同時記得保持臀部在同一個區域而不是朝著你右腿（右手使用者）移動。
When you set up to the ball, move your hips towards the target so that your belt buckleis vertically over your lead heel. Asyou begin to swing back, rotate around your belt buckle, while trying to keep your hips centered over the same area instead of swaying back toward the trail leg.
2. 想要做到這些，你的左膝蓋就要在右膝蓋蹬直時保持彎曲。
To accomplish this, your lead knee will flex while your trail knee straightens.
一旦通過心中牢記皮帶扣的位置，把胯部靠向目標方向這點做到遊刃有餘，你的擊球就會得到改善，增加回旋讓上果嶺那一擊變得更加有趣。
As you get comfortable with instilling hip sway more toward the target by keeping your belt buckle location in mind, you will improve contact, increase spin and make those green-light approach shots much more fun to hit.
