Warm Up with the Shoulder Rotators to Pivot Drill

Double benefit! Warm up and learn the correct weight shift movement with Karen Palacios-Jansen's Shoulder Rotators to Pivot drill.

In this exercise we are not only going to warm up, we will also be rehearsing the movement needed for swinging the golf club and shifting weight correctly in the swing.

The Shoulder Rotators to Pivot Drill will not only help you learn correct body motion and synchronize the weight shift and arms. It will also help you stretch your shoulders and lower back, and build muscular endurance.

Steps for the Shoulder Rotators to Pivot Drill

Assume your golf stance with your club placed behind your shoulders.
Turn back as if you were swinging a golf club making sure that your weight shifts to the inside of your back foot and your shoulders turn so that your back is to the target.
Start the downswing by shifting your lower body weight towards the target, followed by your shoulders.
Finish in balance.
Return to the start position and repeat the exercise.
Do 8 to 10 repetitions.

This is a great drill with two benefits. It will help you warm up before you play or hit balls, and it can be a quick daily exercise to rehearse your weight shift and practice your swing

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
