TPI Test: Seated Trunk Rotation Test

Improve Your Golf Swing with the Seated Trunk Rotation Test ⛳️

The Seated Trunk Rotation Test is a crucial component of the TPI Physical Screen for golfers. If you're a golfer aiming to enhance your game, acing this test is essential. It can determine your ability to generate efficient power in your swing and maintain a stable posture throughout the entire motion. Inadequate thoracic mobility can not only affect your performance but also increase the risk of injuries.

Here's how to complete the test:

1️⃣ Find a chair and sit with your feet and knees together.

2️⃣ Place a stick or bar across your shoulders.

3️⃣ From this seated position, rotate your thorax as far as you can in both directions.

4️⃣ Throughout the test, ensure that your knees and feet remain together, and your thorax doesn't bend forward.

5️⃣ Ideally, you should achieve a Seated Trunk Rotation of more than 45 degrees.

🏌️‍♂️ Improving your thoracic mobility with this test can lead to a more powerful and stable golf swing.
