The 9 to 3 Drill is the key to working on the Rotary Swing Tour while on the range actually hitting balls.
While it is much quicker to create new movement patterns without the distraction of hitting a ball and swinging a club, at some point you must begin transitioning to the real world — and this is THE drill to guide you through that transition. Whether you reinforce it with a free AI swing analysis or groove it on the range, mastering this drill changes everything about your ball-striking.

At the “9 o’clock” position, you can observe that the hips have shifted slightly away from the target and the body has turned away from the ball.
The crux of the golf swing that should be mastered during this drill is getting the lead hip back into neutral joint alignment so the hip can rotate properly through impact.
