@brandonravegolf: THE GOLF SWING IS MORE SIDE-TO-SIDE THAN YOU THINK. 📊⛳️ The more I study force plate data, the more it challenges the obsession with simply “rotating” in the golf swing. Golf is heavily influenced by movement in the frontal plane , essentially, how we organise movement and pressure side-to-side. Two major takeaways: 1️⃣ Shift before you rotate. The lateral component of the swing helps organise the body so rotation can occur as a consequence of effective movement, rather than being something we simply try to manufacture. 2️⃣ Elite players get pressure lead-side earlier than most golfers realise. That earlier pressure shift helps set up the opportunity to produce vertical ground reaction forces. This gives the golfer time and space to coordinate the pelvis, trunk, arms and club approaching impact. The goal isn’t to eliminate rotation. It’s understanding that rotation is only one part of a 3D movement, and what happens side-to-side can heavily influence when and how that rotation occurs. Shift → push → rotate.
