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.
