Why it matters for golf
Golf posture is a hinge, and the posterior chain powers it. Pairing an RDL with a slam teaches the golfer to load the hips first and release that energy through the trunk. That is the load-then-fire pattern of a good downswing.
Coaching cues
- Hinge from the hips. Flat back, soft knees.
- Feel the hamstrings load before you move to the slam.
- Drive the hips through, then slam with intent.
- Reset your setup between reps.
Common faults
- Rounding the back in the hinge.
- Squatting instead of hinging.
- Slamming with the arms before the hips fire.
