In a previous post we learned how to do the symple lower body turn. But what are the advantages of this turn?
Benefits of the Symple Turn
1. Gives you “Synchronized Power” Automatically.
Because you start turning your core (shoulders, chest & abdomen) first, this makes you make a full turn giving you a bigger backswing. Your core will just automatically turn right body parts at the right time. This “simple sequencing” makes the Symple Turn much more powerful than any other way of turning.
2. Reduces The Tendency To Arm Swing
Because you start your swing by turning your core (shoulders, chest & abdomen) you automatically make a bigger more powerful turn than normal reducing the tendency to lift the club with your arms.
3. Reduces Pulls
Making a Symple Turn makes it much less likely that the front hip will open prematurely on the downswing causing an Outside-To-Inside swing path resulting in a pull or a hook. Because you are NOT turning the front hip forward during the first part of your backswing (or not very much) then you don’t have the need to “turn the front hip back to square” which is often the beginning of the motion that opens the front hip too soon in the swing pulling the shoulders to the left (for a right handed golfers) causing a pull.
4. Makes it easier to keep the front leg straight
Since the front hip doesn’t move towards the ball it’s now much easier to keep the front leg straight. This reduces the tendency to move the body up and down which can cause fats shots and topped shots.
5. Gives you a much more consistent repeatable swing.
The Symple Turn is a much easier motion to do so it’s makes your swing much more consistent. Fewer parts of your body are moving so it’s easier to coordinate.
The bottom line is the Symple Lower Body Turn will allow you to hit the ball longer, more accurately and much more consistently.
