Golf Muscles - Timing - Golf Mechanics: The Key To A Powerful Golf Swing
Golf swing power is truly sought after by many golfers short and
tall. A powerful golf swing can be easily accomplished if you're
standing 6ft tall over the golf ball. Knowing the right
mechanics of the golf swing, along with the right timing is
essential. If you take two golfers of the same height, the exact
same swing, same golf club and ball, the results in distance
would probably be the same. If you take the same scenario and
one golfer is approximately 6ft. tall, and the other
approximately 5ft. tall, the advantage would be to the taller
person. You're probably saying, no kidding Sherlock. A taller
person creates a longer and bigger swing span, which in turn
generates more club head speed. Unleashing a huge drive can be
monstrous if all golf mechanics and timing are in sync for a
fairly tall person. So how does a shorter golfer stand to
compete?
The answer would probably lie in the golf muscles of a shorter
golfer. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to go out and bench
press 400 lbs everyday. By exercising your upper and lower golf
muscles two or three times a week, you can make a world of
difference. The golf muscles that need to be exercised would be
the legs, thighs, and whole upper portion of the body. The upper
portions of the body are the main coil of the golf swing, with
the arms and wrist getting the most exercise. As these same
muscles are used most to guide and control the weight of the
golf club through the motion of the golf swing. The lower
portion of the body is strengthened to reinforce the upper
portion of the golf swing. There are many books and videos on
the Internet that address these exercises.
Golfers that prefer to exercise outdoors and are not sure of
the
appropriate exercises to use should take the exercise out on the
practice range hitting golf balls. By hitting golf balls at the
practice range, you will be exercising the important golf
muscles naturally, and greatly improve your golf swing at the
same time. Have you heard of golf muscle memory? It is a part of
the brain that remembers a movement. Putting it another way,
have you felt a muscle say, stop right there? This same part of
the brain will tell moving parts of your body how far you can
take it, so you do not injure yourself. It also signals for the
timing of certain muscles to kick in and take over, if your
latter part of the brain were paying attention. It would also
remember good habits and bad habits in the golf swing. One must
be careful in their practice routine on avoiding the bad habits.
Practicing regularly will exercise these certain muscles and
train them for further swing improvement in proper moves and
timing. Your golf muscles will take the golf mechanics and
timing to a higher level of power by exercising them over and
over again.
With regular exercise and practicing the golf mechanics and
timing of the golf swing, both short and tall players can
compete on the same level. To out distance your taller
competitors, it would help to pack a few extra pounds of golf
muscle behind your golf swing. The same would apply for the
taller golfer to stay ahead of the crowd.
