Golf Swing Flexibility Exercises
The importance of golf swing flexibility exercises cannot be understated. Focusing on your physical limitations specific to your swing is critical to targeting the muscles that are restricted and causing your swing faults.
For example, if you get get a full shoulder turn, you most likely have very tight rear deltoid muscles inhibiting you from getting a 90 degree shoulder turn. Isolating stretches for this muscles group will quickly allow you to get that full shoulder turn with no extra effort or strain.
Dynamic Golf Flexibility
One key factor in how quickly you improve is the application of dynamic golf flexibility exercises to your routine. These types of stretches are movement strethces, not holding ones. An example would be to get a wide grip on your club and make a backswing then a follow through without stopping.
This would be considered a very dynamic stretching exercise targeted for your backswing and follow through. This not only gets your blood going, but can give you an additional technique tweak if you do this stretch in front of a mirror.
