Tiger Woods Golf Swing Technique

Why Tiger Woods Golf Swing Technique

Is So Effective





Golf sensation Tiger Woods golf swing technique has been the subject of many

interesting studies.



One thing that has come out very clearly from this leading golfers style and his golf

swing technique is his amazing flexibility and high fitness level which have contribute

tremendously to his golf career. A career that has seen him crowned in the minds of

many as the undisputed greatest golfer in the history of the sport.



The Tiger Woods golf swing technique sees Wood utilizing his flexibility at the back of

his swing to comfortably reach far back.



As he begins his swing, his level of fitness and muscle strength enables him to build up

club head velocity by turning his torso quickly and pressing his right leg forward. There

is minimal waste of energy as he maintains his position above the golf ball.



Driving through, Woods uses his hips, shoulders and wrists to concentrate his force and

create a high initial ball speed. Research has shown that within a few feet off the tee, the

ball is usually traveling at about 180 miles per hour. The average tour pro usually

manages only 160 miles per hour.



If you have carefully watched woods and his golf swing technique, you will note that he

usually allows the club heads momentum to extend his follow-through far around his

back, thus completing a long and smooth club-head rotation.



Tigers golf swing technique cannot possibly be achieved by somebody who is not

physically fit or somebody who does not work out regularly. In fact achieving an

effective golf swing technique these days requires conditioned muscles that will enable

you to perform consistently and at your best.



Gone are the days when golf was viewed as a leisure sport where players would move

around the course in electric golf cars to avoid breaking into a sweat of any kind.



This is not to say that a good golf swing technique calls for rigorous exercising.

Actually, most of the critical golf-specific exercises involve stretches. There is also the

lifting of light weights to build specifically on strength rather than muscle.



Clearly golf-specific exercises are the only way to develop a good golf swing technique.
