Lower Body Golf Swing

A Lower Body Golf Swing Can Generate

Maximum Power





The perfect lower body golf swing involves the legs to a very large extent and it is

therefore true to say that exercise that conditions these parts of the body will have a

positive impact on the quality of the golf swing.



This truth is obvious when you take a closer look at the lower body golf swing. During

the backswing, the feet, knee and hamstring muscles are extremely important. The rest of

the lower body golf swing movement will usually require a lot of participation of the hip

and lower back.



Thus no good golf exercise program designed to improve the golf swing will avoid the

lower back. In fact some golfers are puzzled at first when they see some of the golf

specific exercises which concentrate on the hamstring and lower parts of the body. They

may initially feel that too much emphasis is being placed on this lower part of the body.

Actually too much emphasis can hardly be placed on the lower body when it comes to

the golf swing. This is because that is precisely where most of the golf swings happen.



In the past, even when golfers though of a little exercise, their emphasis was always on

the upper part of the body, rather than on the lower body, when thinking about improving

their golf swing. Times have changed and today every genuine golf exercise program

will usually place a lot of importance and emphasis on the muscles on the lower body

for the sake of the golf swing.



These lower body golf swing exercises will involve both stretching exercises as well as

strength-building exercises that will usually involve weight training. A good program

should include a wide range of different exercise and you should also be able to use

various golf aid gadgets to correct weaknesses in your golf swing.



By strengthening your lower body golf swing you will always feel more confident and

better prepared to perform a more powerful golf swing.
