Waist-High Shift and Turn
Rehearse just the impact move from waist high: shift forward, turn, extend.
Follow-throughBody Turn
Use this if
You hang back and bottom out behind the ball.
The fault
Hanging back: the body stays over the trail side and the club bottoms out behind the ball.
Steps
- Start with the club at waist high, shaft parallel to the ground
- Shift your shirt buttons and hips toward the lead side
- Turn hips and chest a little open as the club comes down
- Extend the arms through, chest covering the ball
- Hit 10 small shots, then add a full backswing
Shift, turn, extend
Reps
2 x 10 waist-high shots, then 5 full swings
Why it works
Starting from waist high removes the backswing, so you rehearse only the move through the ball: pressure onto the lead foot, hips and chest turning open, arms extending. The club then tends to bottom out ahead of the ball.
