Chair Block Hip Turn

Set a chair just behind your trail hip and turn to the top so the hip turns back against the chair without sliding or spinning past it.

Duration: 6 min
Reps: 3 sets of 8
Equipment: chair
Level: Beginner

How to do it

Place a chair just behind and outside your trail hip, lightly touching it at address.
Make a slow backswing, keeping the trail hip in contact with the chair.
Let the chair stop the hip turning too far while your shoulders keep turning.
If the hip slides into the chair sideways, reset and turn it back, not out.
Repeat for 3 sets of 8.

Goal

Limit the hip turn to about half the shoulder turn while keeping the trail hip from sliding.

Feel cue

Feel the trail hip rotate back against the chair while your chest keeps turning.

Mistake to avoid

Sliding the trail hip into the chair sideways; it should turn against it, not push it.
