As complex and dynamic dynamic as "the swing" is, the key to improving it is actually quite simple. Here are two to get you started. TIP #1: First check your swing, focusing on your arm motion. Many golfers hang their necks down in order to look at the ball. This hang-down attitude ends up blocking their arm swing. Instead, gently tuck your belly button up and in. This activates the EXTERNAL OBLIQUE muscles -- the tummy muscles that act as a natural protective girdle for your back. When the external oblique are "turned on" your neck will automatically automatically be in the correct position -- tucked in, not hanging down. This improved position will also prevent neck strain. • You'll soon notice how this adjustment frees your arm motion, TIP II2: Now try your swing again, this time focusing on your back i leg. Notice how the leg swivels from the hip area. This is where the power of the swing comes from. The muscle that runs on either side of your spine to your inner thigh is called the ILIPSOAS. Excess tension in this muscle will decrease the power in your golf swing. To stretch this muscle, stand with your feet about a foot apart; place your palms on your buttocks buttocks with your elbows pointing back, knees slightly bent. Eyes are looking straight ahead, not up. Now thrust your buttocks forward, as far as you can go without pain. Do 10 repetitions. Work up to 3 sets of 10. In another stretch, lie on your stomach and gradually raise yourself up until you are resting on your elbows. Now, retry your golf swing. You should notice a more powerful swing.
