Why it matters for golf
The rotator cuff stabilizes the shoulder on every swing, and it is usually the first thing to complain under volume. Direct cuff work is cheap insurance for durability, especially for players chasing speed.
Coaching cues
- Keep the weight light, this is precision work.
- Move slow and control both directions.
- Keep the elbow position fixed.
- Stop short of the range where form breaks.
Common faults
- Going too heavy and recruiting everything but the cuff.
- Rushing the reps.
- Letting the shoulder shrug or the elbow drift.
