Make a slow backswing turn so the handle points roughly behind you, then rehearse the downswing so the lead side opens toward the target. Keep your head relatively steady and your feet grounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drill teaches the difference between rotating and swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill 2: step-through swings\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Start with your feet close together. As you swing down, step your lead foot toward the target and continue to a full finish. Use a short iron at half speed. The step encourages pressure shift before rotation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Checkpoint:\u003C\u002Fstrong> you should finish tall, with most pressure on the lead foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill 3: wall-clearance rehearsal\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Stand with your backside lightly against a wall. Make slow turns while keeping your hips from thrusting toward the ball. This helps players who early extend and lose space through impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Putting it in focus\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Hip-rotation changes can feel dramatic even when the club barely changes, so feedback matters. FocusGolf captures swings from a Wear OS, Apple Watch, or Garmin watch, with no added sensors, and lets you review motion data, tempo, transition, consistency, and speed after practice. Match those numbers to your drill notes and you can see which hip move produces cleaner contact instead of just louder effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Quick recap\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The best hip-rotation drills are slow enough to feel and structured enough to measure. Train turn, pressure, and finish before expecting full-speed results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",244,{"slug":15,"title":16},"common-hip-rotation-mistakes-and-simple-fixes","Common Hip Rotation Mistakes and Simple Fixes",{"slug":18,"title":19},"how-hip-rotation-affects-ball-flight-and-scoring","How Hip Rotation Affects Ball Flight and Scoring",1782812355196]
