Why it matters for golf
The split stance pins the hips while the trunk rotates, teaching separation under load. The lead leg learns to accept weight and stay stable while the chest turns, which is the downswing's core demand.
Coaching cues
- Split stance, drop straight down.
- Rotate over the front leg.
- Hips stay square, the chest does the turning.
- Control back to center, then stand.
Common faults
- Front knee wobbling with the turn.
- Turning the hips along with the shoulders.
