Why it matters for golf
Rotating over a lunge teaches the trunk to turn while the lower body holds its ground, which is separation in its simplest form. It also loads the lead hip the way the downswing does.
Coaching cues
- Lunge first and settle the base.
- Rotate the chest over the front leg.
- Keep the front knee quiet.
- Come back to center before stepping out.
Common faults
- The front knee chasing the rotation.
- Turning from the low back with a rigid upper back.
