Stop Overturning Your Backswing (Most Golfers Get This Wrong)
In this instructional video, Brad Hawkins of Left Tilt Coaching System breaks down why overturning during the backswing destroys golf swing efficiency. Instead of chasing a bigger shoulder turn, Hawkins explains how pelvic loading, trail hip internal rotation, and creating depth lead to better movement and more consistent power.
A bigger shoulder turn does not automatically translate to more distance or better power.
Focus on proper trail hip internal rotation and pelvic loading rather than over-rotating.
Creating hip depth and maintaining posture improves downswing sequence and contact quality.
Prioritize the quality of movement and rotation over reaching artificial backswing positions.
