Rotation Drills For A Stronger Core

TPI-certified instructor Anthony Vessecchia from Scratch Golf Academy demonstrates three specialized core drills to improve rotational power and stability. By focusing on the obliques and hip extension, these exercises help golfers generate more clubhead speed while preventing common swing flaws like early extension.

• Strengthening the obliques is essential for controlled and powerful torso rotation in the golf swing.
• The Oblique Kettlebell Swing helps train the transition into lead-side hip extension, preventing early extension.
• Kneeling drills are effective for isolating the core by taking the lower legs out of the movement.
• Glute engagement during rotational exercises is vital as the glutes are the 'king of the golf swing' for stability.
• Start with light weights or no weight to master the movement patterns before adding significant resistance.
