Shoulder Taps
Plank shoulder taps. Anti rotation core work that keeps the trunk quiet while the arms move.

Why it matters for golf
Every tap removes a point of support, so the trunk has to resist rotation to stay level. That anti rotation control is what keeps the swing's forces from twisting the spine around. Simple drill, honest feedback.
Coaching cues
- Plank with the feet slightly wide.
- Tap the opposite shoulder.
- Hips stay dead level.
- Slow, deliberate taps.
Common faults
- Hips rocking side to side with each tap.
- Sagging through the low back as sets get long.
