By Sean Cochran, Golf Fitness

The shoulder turn is an integral part of the golf swing as it pertains to the generation of power, creating efficiency in the transfer of speed to the impact position, and in the development of an efficient kinematic sequence.

We also know if the golfer is lacking a good shoulder turn a number of swing faults will most likely occur as it relates to the swing plane due to changes in posture, poor sequencing, or compensatory patterning.

Outside of instruction, what the golfer must recognize is the shoulder turn requires certain levels of joint mobility, muscular flexibility, and segmental stability in order to execute in an efficient manner.

Specifically, good hip mobility, thoracic spine mobility, flexibility in the muscles surrounding the hips and a strong core are needed to execute the shoulder turn. The process of developing the aforementioned physical components can occur via golf fitness training.

wiperFor example, if a golfer was lacking in both hip and thoracic spine mobility we could utilize Windshield Wipers, and Kneeling Club Rotations to improve these two physical components. On the other hand, if core strength was the culprit of a poor shoulder turn we could look to Kneeling Chops as a way to improve the golfers core strength.

EXERCISES

Windshield Wipers (to improve hip mobility): Position yourself on the floor, back flat, knees bent at 90 degrees, hands between both knees, feettogether, and head resting on the floor.

Slowly separate your feet keeping the knees bent at 90 degrees. Create the separation of the feet through rotation at the hip joint. Separate the feet as far as possible while keeping the knees and hands in contact with one another.

clubReturn to the starting position and repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
