Rob Cheney explains how to maintain a stable axis and centered shoulder turn in the golf backswing. By combining thoracic extension with lead side bend, golfers prevent head sway and create a longer, more repeatable swing for cleaner ball striking.
Maintaining a stable head requires a centered shoulder turn around a consistent axis.
Staying rigidly bent over during the backswing causes the head to sway and shortens the swing.
