Why it matters for golf

Single leg strength drives the weight shift and the lead-leg post-up that create speed at impact. The split stance also exposes and trains hip stability side to side, a common gap in golfers.

Coaching cues

  • Rear foot elevated, front foot far enough forward to stay balanced.
  • Drop the back knee straight down.
  • Keep the front heel heavy.
  • Stay tall through the trunk.

Common faults

  • Front knee caving inward.
  • Torso pitching forward or leaning sideways.
  • Pushing off the back foot instead of driving through the front leg.
