The Way To A Big Drive

Many times the golfer will sway and contort their bodies to get the club back further and subsequently create an inefficient swing. But by improving your flexibility off the golf course, you will be able to make that big turn effortlessly whenever you need it!
Exercise 1: Ankle Rocking Exercise
One overlooked area of the body that contributes in initiating a proper takeaway is the ankles. The “ankle rocking” exercise simply recreates the importance of the ankles to “rock or load-up” during the takeaway phase. Push your ankles inward then relax them to return them to a normal position. Perform two sets of 30 seconds on each ankle.
Exercise 2: Hip Stretch
The standing hip stretch is a crucial stretch in order to produce a powerful swing. To perform this stretch for the right hip-simply get into your golf stance then push your right big toe into the ground while reaching as far back as possible to the right with your left hand. Maintain the stretch to the right for 10 seconds.Feel the stretch in your right buttock. Then repeat the stretch to the left for the left hip. Alternate from the left and right hip for 2 minutes.
Exercise 3: Bent Over Stretch
The bent over stretch will also prepare the spine for a powerful turn. The stretch should be performed by placing your left leg behind your right leg and slowly pull onto the outside of your right leg while turning your trunk over the outside of your forward leg. Perform 3 sets of 30 seconds for each side.
Exercise 4: 90/90 Stretch
The 90/90 stretch is a great low back stretch. Lye on one side, bring your knees and hips to 90 degree angles. Then slowly allow your top shoulder to fall back toward the floor. Perform 3 sets of 2 minutes for each side.
Exercise 5: Hamstring Stretch
Tight hamstrings will hinder a proper turn. Therefore hamstring flexibility exercises will improve your power. First place your leg on a bench then slowly rotate your foot inward to increase the stretch to the outside muscles of your hamstrings. Remember to keep your feet upright toward your head while maintaining the stretch for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
So the next time you need that big drive, it will be there naturally if you have followed these exercises!
