But what I want you to do is take a different view at stretching. Picture the "end-result" of your stretching. POWER and DISTANCE! The payoff is way more rewarding than the few minutes a day you'll spend doing SIMPLE
golf stretches to improve your golf swing power and distance.
There are several critical areas of your body you must stretch to make a full backswing loaded with core torque. The KEY areas are the shoulder joints, lower back, hips and even your wrists to get a full wrist #@!$ that creates that very powerful lag in your golf swing.
One of the most common areas I see that cause havoc on the golf swing is the shoulders. You see, your shoulders need to be able to "externally" rotate to get to the top of your backswing consistently. For the older golfer, this restriction is very common.
When you can't rotate your shoulder joint externally, you will have no chance of getting to the top of your backswing and setting the club in the proper position. Without this, your ability to create power and consistency is much, much lower.
Along with your shoulders, your core (lower back as well), must be flexible enough to rotate fully with minimal rotation from your hips. This creates that torque in your core area like a wound up rubber band ready to uncoil and unleash massive speed and power into that poor golf ball.
With a properly designed golf stretching program, you will be done in less than 7 minutes a day.
Do you want to discover the secret to creating more power and consistency in your golf swing... AND eliminating ALL your swing faults?
