Newsletter #120: Fake Turns = Real Problems…

A lot of golfers think they’re making a full backswing, but what they’re really doing is lifting their arms and barely moving their body.

This is how we turn up the TURN…

That “fake turn” might look okay, but it quietly creates all sorts of problems on the downswing, from over-the-top moves to inconsistent strikes and weak ball flights.

In this week’s video, let’s break down two swings using GolfTec OptiMotion® data to show exactly how hip turn in the backswing shapes everything that happens next.

Same club. Same player. Very different results.

The difference isn’t effort, it’s rotation. Get that wrong, and you’re forced to make last-second compensations just to find the ball. Get it right, and the path, strike and ball flight suddenly make a lot more sense.

Is It Time For a Home-Use Golf Sim?

Let’s be honest, all golfers dream of having their own home-use golf launch monitor. Personally, I think SkyTrak is the way to go here. The software is incredible, and for a fraction of the cost of a professional-use equivalent, the unit itself is off the charts good!

Check out my review of SkyTrak here.
