Impact Challenge Progression #3: Syncing Torso & Pelvis for a Tour-Ready Swing

Welcome to the final progression of the Impact Challenge by 4D Motion — where we bring together everything you’ve worked on: the pelvis and torso mechanics. This is the stage where your golf swing starts to truly feel connected, powerful, and consistent.

Combining Chest and Pelvis: The Final Test

The goal for this progression is to get all six biofeedback boxes lit up green — no matter the tolerance level. That means you're syncing your upper and lower body movements with precision.

Start with a tolerance level that feels manageable. If you're not ready for tour range (0%) yet, that’s completely fine. Focus on quality reps — you’ll get there with time and consistency.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Open the app and go to P Zero address.
  2. In the settings, turn off all radio toggles except for P4 Impact.
  3. Set the tolerance to 100%.
  4. Enable rotation only for both pelvis and chest.

Calibrate, then go for it. Smooth movements, not forced ones, are the key.

Overcoming Common Struggles

You might notice that one area of your body is doing more of the work. For example, if your chest is over-rotating, it may indicate a lack of disassociation between the upper and lower body — a common issue for many golfers. Thankfully, 4D Motion will soon offer mobility and stability protocols to address these limitations.

Progressing with Side Bends

Once you're hitting your reps at 100% tolerance, go back into settings and add side bends for both the torso and pelvis.

This lights up four feedback boxes — the most so far in this challenge. It’s a step up in difficulty but brings you closer to building a balanced, rotationally sound swing.

Struggling with weight shift or balance? Try consciously loading into your lead side. If your swing tends to hang back or feel stiff, adjusting your lead-side pressure can help correct poor ball positions and impact issues.

Pushing Toward Tour Range

Now the fun part — lowering your tolerance. Drop it from 100% to 25%, or all the way to 0% tour range if you’re ready. It won’t be easy — even pros work at this. But if you can consistently complete three sets of 10 reps at tour range, you’re unlocking a whole new level of swing control.

It’s okay to work at a more forgiving level (like 25%) while you build up strength and mobility. The biofeedback keeps you honest, and small improvements compound over time.
