"Golf Biomechanics - Core/Hip Rotation Exercise" Video
If you've taken the time to do the stabilization exercises, then you are ready to begin the core rotation movement. Without proper stability, accuracy, power and control with any amount of repeatability will be inconsistent at best, so don't skip ahead to this exercise without having done the stability exercises. You can include this in your regular routine with the stability exercises, but don't stop or skip them.
Core rotation is the hallmark of the Rotary Swing and the key to power in the modern golf swing. Without it, golfers are forced to flail around using only their arms, shoulders and hands to swing the club. Beginning to learn to use the proper core muscles to rotate is what gives true effortless power, but if you are not used to doing this in your swing, it will take a couple weeks of performing this exercise religiously before your brain begins to understand what you are asking it to do. These are not muscles that you think about using on a daily basis, unlike your hands and arms, and therefore, your brain needs time to build new neural pathways to engrain the muscle memory.
