The One Thing Nobody Told You About Golf Rotation (Until Now)

Most golf swing sequencing advice says “just turn,” but this coach explains why that can wreck your path and contact. Instead, use a rocking motion that turns into a twist—a golf swing biomechanics pattern that teaches you to use the ground golf swing correctly for better strike, distance, and consistency. Email me here - kd1putt@gmail.com 0:00 – Why “just turning” ruins most golfers 1:01 – The missing piece: a higher-order motion pattern 1:49 – The core concept: rocking → twist (not pure rotation) 2:54 – Big-picture learning: stop getting lost in mechanics 4:40 – Rock first, then pressure into the ground creates rotation 5:20 – “Spiral staircase” feel: elongate the trail side going back 6:10 – What elite players do: frontal-plane rocking before twisting 7:03 – Key contrast: rocking motion vs horizontal-only turning 9:13 – Bucket of water analogy (rocking rhythm + tempo) 10:19 – Simple drill: pressure left→right, then spiral ribs/hips 12:24 – Practice plan: start with wedges/9i/8i, then work up the bag 14:14 – Henrik Stenson “climb” concept: weight moves around + up/down This is a tempo-friendly way to sync upper and lower body without getting “spinny” or over-the-top. Start small (short irons), exaggerate the rocking feel, and let the twist/rotation happen as a result of pressure and sequence—not as the main command. What to focus on • Initiate with a rocking move (frontal-plane feel) • Let rocking create pressure into the ground, then twist • Feel the trail side lengthen going back, lead side lengthen through • Use the drill to train “down the line” delivery and center contact #golfswingsequencing #golfswingbiomechanics #usethegroundgolfswing #golfrotation #ballstriking
