Why it matters for golf
This stacks a single leg loading pattern with rotation over a stable base, which is what the downswing demands of the lead leg. The club adds feel and keeps the turn honest. Good for separating hip stability from trunk rotation.
Coaching cues
- Set a solid split stance first.
- Drop straight down into the squat.
- Rotate the trunk over the front leg.
- Hips stay square while the chest turns.
Common faults
- Hips swinging along with the turn.
- Losing balance because the stance is too narrow.
