Don't forget about the tilt in your turn. Jason Baile explains...
Turning is one of the most repeated words in golf instruction. Jason Baile uses a different term - tilt.
The distinction matters more than most amateurs realize. To coil properly in the golf swing, for every degree you turn horizontally, you should also tilt, side-bend one degree. Elite ball strikers are not just rotating through the shot - they are tilting as they turn, and that combination is what keeps the club face under control and the swing force going in the right direction.
Where amateurs go wrong is simple. Turning feels like power so they chase more of it. The backswing gets bigger and bigger until there is no room left to get open on the way through. They lose control of the clubface . The swing force goes somewhere it was never supposed to go. And the distance they were chasing by turning more ends up being the distance they cannot find.
The backswing does not need more rotation. It needs more tilt. Get that right and the downswing starts to take care of itself.
