Today

The quadriceps are made up of four muscles that run down the front of your leg. They, in part, control how you straighten and flex your knees and hips. Tight quads are associated with a common swing fault called “early extension” or standing up through impact, where the hips and knees straighten too early in the downswing causing an early release, topped or thin shots.

If your quads are tight, they do not allow you to rotate your hips or maintain your spine angle. Stretching your quadriceps on a regular basis can help you maintain your spine angle and  increase your range of motion to make a smooth fluid swing.

Half-Bow Pose

  1. Lie on one side, resting your head on your arm.
  2. You can bend both knees.
  3. Grab your ankle or pant leg of your top leg and pull it gently it behind you so that you feel a stretch along the top of your thigh.
  4. Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds. Return to the start position and repeat on opposite leg.

This helps stretch the front of the thighs, which get tight from too much sitting.

Cardiogolf/Orange Whip 1000 Practice Swing Challenge

The challenge is straightforward-simply make 1000 practice swings with your Orange Whip Trainer over the next 30 days to improve your swing technique and increase clubhead speed.

You can do this on the driving range or golf course, or you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home with the Orange Whip Trainer, a few minutes a day (just make sure that you don’t whack the ceiling or walls!)

Break it Down-make 30 practice swings a day for 30 days and you will have made 900 swings over the course of a month.  Okay, so it is not exactly a 1000 swings, but close enough (if you really want to get technical, you’ll have to take 33.3333 swing per day to reach 1000 practice swings).  The amount is not the point, the point is to be consistent with your practice; take a few minutes out of your day to work on your golf swing and get some exercise.
Take the challenge with me.  Post a note  on my Facebook page letting me know that you are up for the challenge.

Feel free to post pictures of yourselves practicing.  I will post reminders and more tips this month to help you achieve your goal of 1000 practice swings this month.
