    Kettlebell Rotational Swing

    A swing with rotation added, blending hinge power with the trunk turn and separation the golf swing runs on.

    Why it matters for golf

    The standard swing builds hip power in a straight line. The rotational version points that power into a turn, training the hips and trunk to separate and fire in the plane golf actually uses.

    Coaching cues

    • Hinge first. The rotation rides on top of the hinge.
    • Let the hips lead the turn.
    • Keep the back flat and the brace on at the bottom.
    • Finish balanced. Every rep ends in control.

    Common faults

    • Twisting through the lower back instead of the hips.
    • Arms steering the bell offline.
    • Losing balance at the finish.
