Why "Spinning-Out" is DESTROYING Your Swing. Here's How to Fix It!
Adam Porzak explains how 'spinning out'—where the chest and hips rotate together too early—destroys swing plane and power. He teaches a high-level disassociation technique where the sternum stays back while the hips and hands fire through the transition. By keeping the chest closed longer, golfers can shallow the club and achieve a more compressed, square impact.
Spinning out occurs when the sternum and belt buckle rotate simultaneously from the top of the swing.
The 'pro move' is to keep the chest facing the ball while the hips and hands fire into the slot.
During transition, the lead hip must move back to match the trail hip, reaching maximum depth at impact.
Keeping the left shoulder under the chin longer prevents an over-the-top move and thin right misses.
Proper disassociation allows the club to release naturally rather than being 'dragged' by a chest-heavy rotation.
