Overhead Arm Squats

One of the most important movements in golf is the squat position.  You set up in a squat position at address position and you want to maintain that squat throughout the swing.

To squat properly, you need leg strength.  Leg strength will also help you transfer body weight onto the lead leg and to extend the hips up through impact.  This move creates a tremendous amount of force to help create power.

So if you want power in your swing, you should be squatting everyday.
