Modified Chops

Here comes one of my personal favorites to improve mobility , which will result in a better turn . By increasing your turn , your golf swing gains power and ultimately distance . Begin by laying on your side on the floor with your hips / knees bent ( similar to the fetal position ). Place your bottom hand on your top hip , and then bring your top hand away from your body , trying to let it fall to the floor behind your back . Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and do this 3-5 times on each side every day .
Modified Chops
People often forget to focus on improving rotary strength ; however , the off-season is the perfect time to do so . Attach a rubber , thera-tube to a high anchor point ( place one end of the tube over the door , and shut the door ) and assume your golf stance . Grip the tube with your normal golf grip and turn to your backswing position ( make sure the tube is taught ). Perform your downswing against the resistance of the tube , and then relax and return to the starting position ( your backswing ). Remember you must rotate your hips at the beginning of the exercise as you would for your normal down swing . This exercise can be altered by changing the resistance of the tubing ( same as monster walks ). Perform three sets of 20 reps on both sides , three times a week .
If you can commit time to your game this winter by performing these three easy exercises , I guarantee you will start next season in better golf condition than previous years .
