Lead Hip Back-Pocket Turn

Feel your lead back pocket rotate around and behind you through impact instead of just sliding toward the target.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 10 reps
Equipment: none
Level: Beginner

How to do it

Take your address position without a ball.
Make a backswing, then start down feeling a small shift toward the target.
As you reach impact, feel your lead back pocket rotate around and behind you.
Hold the finish and check your back pocket is facing away from the target.
Repeat 10 times before hitting balls with the same feeling.

Goal

Convert a lateral hip slide into a true rotation around the body.

Feel cue

Feel your lead back pocket turn away from the target, not just your hip sliding toward it.

Mistake to avoid

Don't stop the lateral shift completely — you still need some, just add the turn on top of it.
