The Set Up & Execution
• Hold a golf club horizontally between your hands in a shoulder-width stance.
• Stabilize your lower body as you balance on one leg, ensuring your balanced leg forms a straight line from hip to ankle.
• If you are well balanced, add the rotation, maintaining a stable lower body.
• Hold for a moment, then rotate back to the center.
• Repeat on the other side.
• Switch legs and repeat the sequence.
Advanced Execution
• To make it more challenging, use a weighted club.
Allow your head to move with you, maintaining its position between your arms.
Only perform the rotation element if you can maintain perfect balance on one leg, with hips stacked over knees and toes.
So let’s make sure you get green checks on these key points:
• Hold a club between your hands parallel to the ground with a shoulder-width stance.
• Lift one leg to balance on the other.
• Maintaining balance, rotate left, back to center, then rotate right.
• Switch legs and repeat the sequence.
• Perform in front of a mirror to perfect form.
