Impact Challenge Progression #2: Mastering Chest Rotation with 4D Motion

Welcome back to the Impact Challenge with 4D Motion — your step-by-step journey to building a tour-quality golf swing using biofeedback. If you've completed progression one (focused on pelvic movement), you're already seeing improvements. If you're still working your way down to 25% tolerance — don’t stress. Progress takes practice, and you’re doing the right work.

Progression #2: Upper Body (Chest/Torso)

In this progression, we shift focus to the torso and chest movement, which plays a key role in syncing your upper body with your lower body during the swing. Just like before, we’ll use the 4D Motion golf swing analyzer to get instant feedback and refine mechanics.

Setting Up Biofeedback for the Chest

1. Start at 100% tolerance.
2. In your settings, enable “torso rotation” and turn off all pelvis-related feedback.
3. Recalibrate your position by tapping the arrow box — quick and easy.

Once you’ve completed 3 sets of 10 successful reps at 0% tolerance, you’re ready to layer in more complexity.

Watch for Common Mistakes

One of the most common faults here is over-rotating through impact. If your chest flies open too early, you’ll likely see pulled shots or slices. That’s where real-time feedback becomes invaluable — it flags these issues before they become habits.

Important: If you experience pain or mobility restrictions during any of these movements, don’t force it. 4D Motion will soon be releasing mobility and stability exercises to support your progression.

Adding Side Bend to the Chest

1. Return to settings and re-set to 100%.
2. Enable side bend for the torso and start your next reps.

Now, you’ll be working on both rotation + side bend — a more advanced movement that mirrors real-world golf swing mechanics. As you repeat, pay attention to vertical forces and how your body moves through space. Adjust based on what the biofeedback shows.

Final Layer: Forward and Backward Bend

Now it's time to add in the final axis: forward and backward bend. This helps you maintain posture and avoid lifting out of the shot too early — a common issue that impacts strike quality and consistency.

Just like before, try to reach 0% tolerance, and complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions. If you can do that, you’re ready to bring everything together in the final progression.

Level Up Your Swing with 4D Motion

By combining real-time feedback with movement-specific training, 4D Motion gives golfers a powerful edge. Whether you're using an Apple Watch golf swing analyzer, a mobile app, or the full sensor suite, this system helps you make meaningful improvements faster.
