Pre-Game Warm-up Lateral Shifting Lunge

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

This is an awesome drill to loosen up your adductors and strengthen your glutes and thighs. This was taught to me years ago by a former Russian Soldier; he called it the Cossack Stretch. If you have tight adductors (coupled with weak glutes) you will have trouble for coiling and loading into the hips during your backswing, as well as posting into and rotating around the hips during the downswing. Take a look at this video demonstrating the basic version of what I call the lateral shifting lunge.

Pre-Game Warm-up: Overhead Reaching Reverse Lunge

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

 

Here’s an amazing drill that Zach Johnson uses warm-up his lower body before a round. This helps elongate the hip flexors, stretch the lats and lower back, increase core temperature and strengthen the legs. This drill will give you good posture at address and help rid yourself of any faults such as early extending during the downswing. A lot of bang for your buck.

Pre-Game Warm-up Torso Rotations

Friday, January 9th, 2009

This is a great drill to help increase shoulder turn and help teach you how to separate the upper body from the lower body. Be sure to keep your knees together, if your having trouble keeping your knees together, take a rolled up towel place it between your knees and squeeze the towel with your knees. This will insure your lower body will remain stable throughout the movement. Try it out!
