Level

How to do it

  1. Anchor a resistance band at hip height behind you and loop it around your waist.

  2. Take your address position facing away from the anchor point.

  3. Make downswings rotating your hips open against the band's pull.

  4. Complete 3 sets of 10, keeping the motion smooth rather than jerky.

Goal

Build the strength and habit of rotating the hips open against resistance instead of stalling square.

Feel cue

Feel your lead hip pull open against the band's resistance.

Mistake to avoid

Don't let the band pull your hips into a slide — rotate, don't drift.
