THE ROTATION MISTAKE COSTING YOU YARDS (Fix It Today!)

Kerrod Gray demonstrates how a lack of chest rotation creates power leaks and a short backswing that robs golfers of distance. By focusing on turning the chest toward the sky and the back shoulder toward the target, players can unlock a more powerful, fluid motion. The video outlines a progression from slow practice swings to full-speed drives to help golfers internalize this increased rotation.

• Avoid an arms-only backswing which limits speed and creates a 'short' look.
• Feel your chest rotate to face more toward the sky during the backswing to increase turn.
• Ensure your back shoulder faces the target at the top of the swing for maximum depth.
• Practice without a ball first using slow, continuous motions to build a repeatable feel.
• Focus on breathing and staying relaxed to allow the body to reach its full natural range of motion.
