Drop the Foot Back in the Backswing... The Dynamic Separation Drill
Athletic Motion Golf introduces the Dynamic Separation Drill to fix overturning in the backswing and prevent getting stuck in the downswing. By dynamically stepping the trail foot back into the backswing, golfers achieve proper internal hip rotation and create athletic separation. Rejoining the stance during transition reinforces key timing and movement sequencing.
Overturning the hips in the backswing often leads to backing up and getting stuck during the downswing.
Internal hip rotation controls backswing turn and establishes proper dynamic separation.
The static staggered stance (lead toes to trail heel) helps restrict excessive turn, but the dynamic version better integrates timing.
Drop the trail foot back during the backswing motion and re-align it as transition begins to build proper downswing motion.
