Are you a Kugel

As any red-blooded South African knows, the term kugel describes someone who is more concerned with the way they look than with their end result.

So what does this have to do with the physical dimension of the golf swing?

Consider this: Although the world’s top ball strikers have patent differences in the way their respective golf swings look, scientific research has proven uncanny similarities linking efficient swings of any appearance. These similarities explain why, for example, Charl Schwartzel and Rickie Fowler will achieve closely-matched results time after time, even though they appear to swing very differently.

What then is the secret linking factor that makes diverse swings perform efficiently?

Answer: The correct kinematic sequence.
Essential for efficient movement and energy transfer through impact, the correct sequence during the backswing is club head, arms, thorax, hips; in the downswing and follow through it is hips, thorax, arms, club head. It follows that if these sequences are compromised, swing faults will result, often with dire consequences.

Now here’s the crux of the biscuit:

YOU CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE YOUR KINEMATIC SEQUENCE WITH A SIMPLE DAILY EXERCISE CALLED “STORK TURNS”!
THIS EXERCISES WILL IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO GAIN SEPARATION BETWEEN YOUR HIPS AND THORAX, ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING THE CORRECT KINEMATIC SEQUENCE.

Using a golf club for support, lift your right leg and make turns across your body with your chest facing forwards; hold for 3 seconds and repeat on the opposite leg.
