Why it matters for golf
The ski erg is a rhythmic hip hinge with a strong lat pull down, so it conditions the same muscles that hold posture and pull the arms through the downswing. Low impact and high return for golfers.
Coaching cues
- Reach tall, then drive the handles down.
- Hinge at the hips as you pull.
- Let the arms follow the trunk.
- Find a stroke rhythm you can repeat.
Common faults
- Pulling with only the arms and skipping the hinge.
- Rounding the back instead of hinging.
