WINDMILLS/TORSO TURNS
Maintaining body angles in the golf
swing can help prevent flat shoulder
plane and loss of posture. You can
perform this one at home or on the
practice tees.
• Get in your 5-iron posture and
put your arms out to your sides.
• Make some controlled turns
keeping your arms out to your
side. Focus on your lead shoulder,
working down and across
your body.
• After a few repetitions, try to hit
golf balls with the same feeling in
your swing.
