The Power of Proper Rotation

Many golfers mistakenly lift their arms or tilt their upper body instead of rotating their torso and hips. Karen Palacios Jansen demonstrates three simple drills to help you train the proper rotation for a powerful and repeatable swing.

Your Action Plan

What: Your goal is to learn and practice three drills that teach the difference between lifting/tilting and true body rotation in your golf swing.

Why: Proper torso and hip rotation is the key to sequencing your swing, generating effortless power, and preventing common golf injuries.

How:

T-Spine Drill: Use a broomstick to improve the mobility of your upper back and learn to separate your torso from your hips.
Wall Drill: Use a wall for instant feedback. Stand close to a wall and practice rotating your trail hip back to touch the wall behind you.
Hip Rotation Drill: Use a piece of fabric or fringe to visually see your hip rotation. As your hips turn back and through, the fabric will move with them, showing real motion.
