In terms of the golf swing, whether you're a left or right handed player, you are the center. We all use terms such as core, center, hub, turn, axis and more. Since we are the hub, we control everything that happens which is in connection with us: club, arms, hands, shoulders etc. Because this turn is so important, we often say it is the priority.
