Effortless Power Golf Swing

A power golf swing is the dream of every golfer. How many times have you hit one just perfect and tried desperately to remember what you did that caused this to happen?

A power golf swing is not about swinging hard.

So many times a golfer will try to �put a little more into it� to get a few extra yards. If you�ve tried this�what happened? Did you get those extra yards or did it go shorter and even offline?

That�s the point I�m trying to make!

To hit a LONG drive or add yards to every club in your bag�you need to be able to generate more clubhead speed, but under control. That�s where most golfers lose it.

If your body can�t physically make an optimum swing, from a mechanical standpoint, you have no business trying to swing any harder. The result will be a blown up score and drives that go significantly shorter�not longer.

The beauty of getting your body in better �golf shape� is that you can hit the ball with more force�but with much less effort.

Let me explain.

If you�ve improved your core strength and flexibility for example, you will be able to make a FULL shoulder turn (backswing) with minimal tension. This backswing has now a ton of torque built up. With your newfound strength and flexibility�you will be able to �unleash� that torque, powerfully into the golf ball.

Doesn�t that make sense?

Now imagine if you improved your overall body specific to golf. Now you�ve got a power golf swing that is under control and killing it off the tee! Your playing partners won�t know what hit them.

So the key to remember in an effortless power golf swing is improving your bodies ability to rotate and store energy�then �unleash it� into the ball at impact.

If you are lacking distance and feel like you�re trying to swing harder, this is the reason why. A fit golfer has a HUGE advantage over an out-of-shape one.

Follow this advice, and you�re on your way to an effortless power golf swing!

The Modern Golf Swing Is So Different
The modern golf swing has evolved with this use of technology, both in equipment and analysis; as well as the physical training the golfers now go through. They are treating it like a sport and are preparing their bodies accordingly.

When you read some of the older books on instruction and technique, you will notice there was a lot of focus on the lower body. The powerful driving of the legs both laterally and rotationally to produce power.

The end result of this approach was undo stress on the lower back due to the �reverse C� it caused in the finish. Just look at the old pictures of the golfers in their finished position and you�ll see the bowing of the body away from the target.

Because the golfers didn�t believe in conditioning their bodies, the in...

Golf - Why Does Tiger, Phil And Vijay Have Obscene Power?
Who doesn�t want to pound the golf ball 300-plus yards? We see PGA Tour players all the time ripping it down the middle of the fairway, and we would all love to do it too.

Golf - Improve Strength For Golf To Reach Your True Potential
Strength for golf is a term you�ve all heard by now. It�s all over the television during professional tournaments, and golf instructors are now throwing the term around.

What makes strength for golf so important and why should you listen?

Let me briefly explain.

The golf swing is traumatic to the body! I can�t put it any simpler than that. When you are swing an object that is over 3 feet long at over 85 mph, there is a physical cost.

The physical cost is undo stress on the major joints of the body. The lower back is the most common area to get injured, along with the hips, shoulders, knees and even wrists.

If your body is physically weak and restricted (low level of flexibility), you will have a minimal chance...
