Golf flexibility Training Will Eliminate Tension In Your Golf Swing

by: Mike Pedersen

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 (your time).

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.

You might be saying, �well that�s the whole swing�.

Yes�you might think so, but I�m talking about creating a golf flexibility training program that incorporates golf stretches specifically for those positions of the swing. As mentioned earlier, just take a look at the position your body is in at the top of your backswing; impact; and follow through into your finish.

There are your stretches!

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, if not all of them (us) 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.

Can you handle that?

I know you can. If your golf performance is important to you, you�ll make the time to get the results!

And when you step onto that course and start making effortless golf swings that go farther and straighter than ever before, you�ll know it was well worth doing your golf flexibility training.
