I have been asked a gazillion times, “what are the most important muscles used in the golf swing?” I shot the video below to explain the top 3 key golf muscles. This is not a golf fitness tip, but more informative than anything. If you want golf fitness tips, check out my Golf Youtube Channel.

Focus on these 3 muscles and you’ll be on your way to a more powerful golf swing. You’ll also be playing pain-free golf for years to come.

I’ve gotten a few emails from golfers who want to know how to rotate through impact better. I’ve put together a golf hip stretch to improve your rotation through your swing. Many older golfers may or may not realize the accumulated physical decline of flexibility in joints, especially the hips. The ONLY way to improve this is with golf-specific stretches targeting the area of deficiency. We’ve done that here, with this golf stretch video.

Get Width In Your Golf Swing

Mike — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:11:26 +0000

Got an email from a golfer last week wanting more width in his golf swing. He saw his swing on video, and actually sent me a still pic, and I could see his issue. You need to realize width in your golf swing will give you more swing speed, power and ultimately distance. Take a look at this golf exercise, and do it regularly, and you’ll see more width and power.

This golf exercise was taken out of my 3 Minutes For 30 Days Golf Training ebook.

I received an email last week from a golfer who asked me what he could do in his living room. He didn’t admit it, but I think he was hinting at something he could do while watching TV. Well…here you go. I’ve put together a little video showing you stretching for golf exercises you can do “on your couch”, while you watch television.

Golf Backswing Stretch During Round

Mike — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 19:40:04 +0000

I’ve gotten quite a few emails regarding golfers losing distance on the back nine. It could be a whole host of things, but one is the tightening of the specific muscles involved in making a full backswing.

Here’s a golf backswing stretch to help you maintain a full backswing loaded with more power during your round of golf.

But first…it’s been a while since I’ve been in here answering questions, I apologize, but have been very busy with other projects.

Golf Backswing Stretch Instructions:
•Extend left arm out in front of you (if you are a right handed golfer).
•Take both hands and put on top of club.
•Drop upper body down against club to feel a stretch in your left shoulder.
•Hold for at least 15 seconds, repeat once more and do the opposite for follow thru side

Benefit to Golf Swing:
•Improve back swing and follow thru range of motion, allowing for a bigger shoulder turn and generating more club head speed.
•Stretch back of shoulder for more range, but with-in golf swing.
•Indirectly improve trunk rotation while maintaining golf posture.

This is a fantastic stretch to do every couple of wholes. You’ll keep your backswing and follow through muscles nice and loose, maintaining a higher clubhead speed (and distance) for 18 holes.

This golf stretching is just one of dozens and dozens of stretches in my Total Golf Stretching ebook.

Golf Swing Fix - Download Golf Video Tips

Mike — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:29:51 +0000

I wanted to let you know about a really cool site that just launched. It is with my personal swing coach Bobby Eldridge. Bobby has come up with a revolutionary way to fix your faults in a matter of minutes right on your own computer.

This site in the next 60 days will have quadruple the number of fixes, but there are 10 really good ones already uploaded and ready for you to get.
