In the golf swing, the spine must stabilize as other parts of the body move. So it is important to strengthen core muscles.  If core muscles surrounding the spine are weak, then those muscles can’t contract to create resistance to allow the arms to swing freely through the ball.

It is important to strengthen core muscles, not only to create power in the golf swing, but to protect the spine from the force of the golf swing.

In this exercise, you will be stabilizing your spine and core muscles as your arms and legs move in different directions just like you have to do in the golf swing.
