Kettlebell Switch
A swing-based drill that switches hands between reps, adding grip, timing, and coordination to hinge power.

Why it matters for golf
Switching hands mid set keeps the hips doing swing work while the grip, timing, and trunk control get tested every rep. Each catch is a small stability challenge, and both sides get equal work.
Coaching cues
- The hips still run the show. Hinge and snap.
- Switch at the float, when the bell is weightless.
- Catch with a square chest and a braced trunk.
- Keep the bell close. No wide loops.
Common faults
- Chasing the bell with the shoulders on the catch.
- Switching too early or too late and breaking rhythm.
