13:46-min Smooth Swing Routine

When you practice you want to make sure that 1) you are practicing the right moves and 2) that you are grooving a consistent swing that you can take to the golf course.

You want your swing to become automatic, like spelling your name.  When was the last time you misspelled your name?  You probably can’t remember because it is automatic, you do it without thought.  Why can’t swinging a golf club be the same way?  Why can’t we make a smooth swing without any thought every single time?

Well, that is because this game is really hard, even pros don’t make a perfect swing every single time. But they are consistent and that is because they have practiced enough that it has become automatic.

One way to get a more automatic swing is to do drills and exercises.  When you repeat drills, you ingrain the feelings and you improve faster.  When you do drills, making several repetitions, your muscles start to get feel and you don’t have to think so much. Try this smooth swing routine.

23:35-min Rotate it Out Workout

Why do Golfers Need Rotational Exercises: because those specific exercises will you give more power and distance in your golf swing. The upper torso (thoracic spine) is designed to be mobile and allow rotation. Golfers especially need this rotational movement. Being able to twist and turn the upper torso while keeping the low back, hips, and legs or lower body platform stable will maximize your golf swing power.

It is important to do exercises that develop rotational mobility. Firstly, if you lack mobility in that upper spine, there will be restrictions on how far you can turn your torso, therefore limiting your backswing.

Secondly, the lack of mobility in that upper spine will limit the backswing causing swing faults that could lead to swing compensations like swinging over the top, for instance.

Thirdly, without the ability to separate the upper from lower body, your swing will be limited in speed and power, therefore limiting your swing speed and distance.

In short, doing exercises, the ones in this workout, will help you increase the mobility in your thoracic spine so you can learn to make a better turn and get you more power and distance out of your golf swing.
