Why it matters for golf
The split stance fixes the lower body in a golf-like load: front side posted, trail side driving. Swinging with rotation from that base trains the hips to make power and the trunk to turn without a step to bail out balance.
Coaching cues
- Set the split and keep it. Feet stay quiet.
- Hinge and snap the hips. Power comes from below.
- Let the trunk rotate over a stable lower body.
- Finish every rep balanced and tall.
Common faults
- Feet shuffling to rescue balance.
- Rotating through the lower back instead of the hips.
- Arms steering the bell instead of following the hips.
