Build a powerful, consistent pivot

Creating a correct, powerful pivot in the golf swing is crucial for hitting consistent shots. Turning in the golf swing incorrectly may leave you with feelings of being stuck or swaying in your swing. Here, PGA Professional Ashley Jones shows how you can create the perfect pivot, using the Hug Me Drill.

Why does a strong pivot matter?

• Creates effortless power throughout rotation, not just arms
• Keeps your upper and lower body connected for better consistency
• Reduces arm sway and early extension
• Promotes better balance and weight transfer
• Sets up a natural, efficient downswing path

The focus of the drill is to keep the upper body centred while rotating around the spine. It also works great for warm-ups, range sessions or indoor practice.

For Ashley, the message is simple: wrap those arms around yourself and feel what good rotation feels like.
