Why You Can't Rotate In The Downswing (Avoid These Massive Mistakes)
JChownGolf explains that limited downswing rotation is rarely caused by flexibility issues but is instead a result of poor swing positions. He identifies five key root causes: improper posture and foot flare, clubface misalignment, lack of backswing depth, early arm firing, and loss of hip tilt. The video provides specific drills for each issue to help golfers achieve a modern, powerful rotational move similar to the world's best players.
Flare your lead foot to open the hip capsule and increase range of motion naturally.
Ensure armpits are over the balls of the feet at setup to maintain balance during rotation.
A clubface that is too open or too closed will force the body to stall rotation to square the face at impact.
Focus on body rotation in the backswing to create the 'spring' necessary for a rotational downswing.
Maintain your lead hip tilt (down and around) to stay in posture and avoid lower back pain.
