Golf Fitness – Stretching the Core

As you develop a deeper understanding of the need to strengthen the core area for a powerful rotary swing, something that absolutely cannot be overlooked is keeping this region flexible and supple.

We’re engaging and strengthening some extremely powerful core muscles. It’s critical that they maintain their flexibility while gaining strength. Being able to make a full, unrestricted turn without straining anything or pulling your swing plane offline is essential for consistent ball striking.

You need flexibility in these muscles, so while you’re building strength and power through your training, don’t neglect the stretching component.

This is one of the most effective exercises we’ve found for stretching the entire area from the hip flexors up through the core.

Simply take a driver and place it behind your shoulders. Make sure your feet and hips are pointing straight forward with everything properly aligned. Keep your knees slightly flexed to stay relaxed and athletic.
