Gain Serious Range of Motion With This Proven Drill | GolfWRX |
Shawn Clement analyzes Rory McIlroy's lower body 'stall' to demonstrate how to gain a massive range of motion. He teaches a PGA professional how to swivel the pelvis toward the target in the backswing and use momentum to clear the body effortlessly. Using the 'Feet Together Drill,' Clement provides a blueprint for avoiding the pulls and high-right misses caused by physical restriction and over-careful swing thoughts.
Flare your toes outward at setup to alleviate torque and facilitate easier hip rotation.
The 'stalled' lower body is often a result of being too 'careful' or protective with your focus rather than a lack of fitness.
Initiate the backswing by swiveling your posterior toward the target immediately to maximize range of motion.
Narrowing your stance can help players who feel restricted or 'stuck' over the ball.
A stronger grip may be necessary when increasing rotation to manage the extra speed and ensure the face squares at impact.
