Split Stance Torso Rotation (shoulders stabilized)
Take this movement to the course and sprinkle it into your round every 3-6 holes. It will keep your hips active, so you can produce force from the ground. It will also keep your thoracic spine turning well, while providing good separation between your upper and lower body. This is key to creating a good sequence into the ball and producing power. These rotations will also help restore symmetry during your round. With the stick/5iron will be across the back of your shoulders. This will lock out your shoulder blades and require you to produce the rotation more from your thoracic spine and less from the shoulders. Expect to make a shorter turn than with the stick in front of you. Maintain your posture and think of turning your shoulder under your chin.
