Why this drill works

C-posture reduces room for the arms and makes rotary depth hard to create. Rebuilding the address from a hip hinge instead of upper-back rounding gives the torso space to turn and lowers the need for compensations like early extension.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall and place a club across the front of your hips to feel where the hinge starts.

  2. 2

    Push the hips back until the chest tilts forward while keeping the upper back long instead of rounded.

  3. 3

    Let the arms hang under the shoulders and lightly retract the shoulder blades so the chest stays open.

  4. 4

    Make slow half-turns from this address shape without losing the distance between sternum and belt buckle.

  5. 5

    Reset between reps any time the shoulders slump or the pelvis drifts toward the ball.
