Set a shoulder turn and a hip turn and see the separation between them drawn from above, with the X-factor number that the two angles produce.
Shoulder & Hip Turn Visualiser
Set a shoulder turn and a hip turn and see the separation between them — the number usually called X-factor — drawn from above.
The reference swing on this site reaches the top at 92° of shoulder turn and 51° of hip turn — 41° of separation. Its coaching note reads “hips are 7° over”, meaning the app measured seven more degrees of hip turn than its model expected for that particular swing. It is a comment on one recorded swing, not a number anybody else should be aiming at.
A drawing, not a measurement of you, and not a target. Separation is one description of a backswing shape among many; how much of it any individual golfer produces depends on things this page cannot see. Nothing here is advice about what to do with your body.
How to use this
- Move the two sliders to the angles you want to compare and read the separation between them.
- Load the SwingOK sample swing to see the reference values this site's skeleton reaches at P4.
- Use it to picture what a number means — it measures a shape, it does not prescribe one.
