One of the advantages of youth is the ability to ‘separate’ the upper body and the hips.
That allows a fuller turn of the shoulders with a more limited rotation of the hips on the backswing,
and the hips to lead the shoulders on the downswing.
It’s great for longer golf shots. There are exercises to improve your rotational flexibility and your ability to create separation.
This exercise has the advantage of keeping the feet, knees and hips very stable,
while encouraging rotation around the spine.
If you have any aches and pains, or are unsure about exercising, then be prepared to consult a fitness professional.
Change your life. Change your golf. Get fit for golf. Get fitter for life.
