The end of the backswing and start of the downswing, aka transition, is a very important phase in the swing for force production.

It is highly desirable to be both mobile and strong in this range and movement.

You can use cable exercises to help with this.

The weight on the cable stack assists in pulling you into a lot of thoracic rotation (shoulder turn), and then you must use the muscles in your hips and trunk to stop and change direction of the weight. It targets the obliques particularly well.

This isn’t going to “fix your golf swing” and it’s not going to move the needle in terms of physical development like progressive full body training will, but it’s worth doing for a couple of sets 6-10 reps each time you train.

Think of it as a mobility and strength exercise at the end range of your swing.

I generally do both sides, but it’s more important to do your dominant side.
