The Need for Flexibility

Golf flexibility training has come a long way. There are many more golf flexibility training stretches that can greatly impact your golf swing. Simple golf stretches, that done daily will give you a huge return on investment.

There is a big difference between ‘general' flexibility training and golf flexibility training. Just take a look at the positions the body is in during the golf swing and you'll see many potential golf stretches you can come up with on your own.

The most common area a golfer should apply golf flexibility training is the backswing, impact and follow through.

Just take a look at the position your body is in at the top of your backswing; impact; and follow through into your finish.

It's not rocket science to come up with golf training programs regarding both flexibility and strength. You've just got to use your creative side and keep the golf swing in mind when devising these golf training programs. Tension is the biggest “killer” in the golf swing…bar none!

Most amateurs have tension in our golf swings. Tension robs you of power. This is a known fact! A tense muscle is a slow muscle. A slow muscle produces minimal speed and ultimately power. The key to a powerful golf swing is minimal tension and effort equals maximum distance AND accuracy.

One quick way to improve this is with a consistent golf flexibility training program done daily. This doesn't entail 60 minutes of your time and dozens of stretches. I'm talking about 6-8 key golf flexibility training stretches taking up no more than 15 minutes per day.
