SM Golf Coaching demonstrates a simple progression to achieve a full backswing turn by focusing on body rotation rather than arm movement. The video covers how to rotate the shoulders around the spine while maintaining centered hips and allowing the trail leg to extend naturally.
Place a club across your shoulders to feel the torso rotate around the spine without changing eye level.
Allow the lead knee to move toward the center line to facilitate a full hip and shoulder turn.
The trail leg should extend slightly during the turn but avoid locking out completely to maintain power.
Keep hips centered during rotation to avoid swaying side-to-side.
Prioritize a 'big body turn' with a 'short arm swing' to create a more consistent and powerful position.
