This is the only drill Pete says he’d keep for life because it trains the whole body, not just a position.

A wide base activates quads, glutes, abs, and deep stabilisers, creating a strong “engine room.”
The hip hinge sets posture.
The spiral coil teaches you how to load diagonally through ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders.
And the slam-release builds rhythm, balance, and flow.

If you want a body-led swing with real power and protection, this drill is the foundation.

The Wide Stance Drill isn’t about standing wider — it’s about activating the entire kinetic chain.

Here’s what we know:

1. Crossover Line Loading
A wide stance creates diagonal tension from trail foot → lead shoulder.
This loads the Spiral Line:
• Foot/ankle stabilisers
• Adductors
• Glutes
• Obliques
• QL
• Lat
This diagonal loading is the body’s natural “stretch system.”

2. Hip-Hinge → Not Waist Bend
Tilting from the hip activates quads and glutes.
Tilting from the waist collapses posture and kills rotation.

3. Full-Chain Coil
Pete’s slow, joint-by-joint spiral turns on:
• Ankles
• Shins
• Knees
• Thighs
• Hips
• Thorax
• Shoulders
This loads fascia and muscle together — elastic energy, not muscular strain.

4. Slam + Release
The slam trains timing between gravity and ground force.
You’re rehearsing how force moves from the ground → through the body → into the club.

5. Balance as a Skill
The wide stance exaggerates your margins.
If you can finish balanced from here, you can finish balanced from anywhere.

In Spiral Code terms:

Engine on → Transmission loaded → Steering free → Clubface organised.

This is why one drill has lasted decades.
It resets the body, teaches the coil, protects the spine — and builds power you can trust.
