M1 Coaching Series-How To Pivot
7m

The M1 Coaching Series progresses to one of the most essential elements of the golf swing—the pivot. Building on the line of compression, this session emphasizes syncing your body’s rotation with the motion of the club and arms for a smooth and powerful swing.

The pivot starts with the left hip pushing back to move the right hip and shoulder forward, seamlessly coordinating with the arms and club. This movement eliminates common issues such as early extension and helps maintain balance and stability throughout the swing. Timing the rotation of the hips with the club’s movement ensures consistent contact and prevents breakdowns in the swing.

Golfers are encouraged to practice with one arm initially to feel how the hip’s motion drives the swing. By mastering this fundamental move, players can simplify their mechanics and reduce the need for compensations, making the game easier and more enjoyable.

The key to effective pivoting lies in aligning the rotational forces of the club, arms, and body. When these circles sync, the swing becomes repeatable and easier to adjust when things go awry. This session lays a critical foundation for building a controlled and efficient golf swing, ensuring consistent improvement and a better understanding of how all components of the swing fit together.
