The difference between the shoulder turn and hip turn at the top of the back swing is known as the “x-factor”. The bigger the separation between shoulder turn and hip turn creates more potential power/distance. When the shoulders turn (mobile) and the hips are limited in their turn (stable), a stretch in the upper back and shoulder muscles ...
