Henry Fall from the Milo Lines Academy and Dana Finkelstein from the LPGA Tour are back in the gym, ready to share another fantastic exercise to enhance your golf swing during the off-season. Today, we're diving into exercise ball swings.
Grab that exercise ball! This one's a winner. It's all about cultivating a golf swing driven by your core, hips, and lower body. You'll stretch out your arms, maintaining relaxed tension, while focusing on maintaining width as you turn back and forth. If you're using a medicine ball, opt for a lighter one to start.
The magic happens as you feel your core engage, obliques firing up, and those hips getting into the action. You might even sense a little glute activation as well. Here's a pro tip: experiment with lifting your left heel during your backswing and then grounding it again. This move aids in sequencing, creating a fluid chain reaction.
This exercise is a powerhouse for your golf swing. Develop that essential width, channel your core's rotational power, and refine your sequencing. Elevate your golf game, one exercise ball swing at a time!
