GOLF TIP 3: Rotation
The rotation of the body in the backswing is a very important cog of good technique - an incomplete turn produces an inconsistent rhythm and tempo affecting a golfers ball striking ability but, over rotation in the backswing leads to loss of balance and swing speed is therefore negatively affected.

Good balance and correct rotation should be a players objective at the top of the backswing to produce consistency and power.

A rule of thumb for the amount of turn required would be to have your back facing the target at the top of the backswing.
