So true! I usually spend 10 minutes on dynamic stretches before I practice.

22

Have any of you tried using a balance board? It helped me a lot with stability during my swing.

23

I havenā€™t used one yet, but Iā€™m intrigued! What kind of exercises do you do on it?

Kettlebells are another great way to build lower body strength! Just be careful with form.

25

For sure! I dropped one onceā€¦ letā€™s just say it didnā€™t end well. :joy:

26

Iā€™ve been looking for suggestions on improvement without injuring myself. Any specific drills youā€™ve found safe and effective?

27

Exactly, sdavis! The ā€˜slow motion swingā€™ drill has been great for me. It keeps everything controlled and reduces injury risk.

28

With all this focus on lower body mechanics, do you think it overshadows upper body techniques? Balance is key!

Interesting point, katherinebishop! But I believe that a strong lower body sets up a better upper body swing, both are important.

Just started focusing on my lower body, and itā€™s made a huge difference. Any recommendations on specific drills?

Drills that involve resistance bands have supercharged my lower body stability. Itā€™s fun too!

34

I think combining video tutorials with live coaching sessions is the best way to refine those skills. Getting feedback in real-time is invaluable.

35

Couldnā€™t agree more! Itā€™s all about the right guidance to perfect those lower body movements.

36

Using slow-motion videos can help in dissecting each component of the swing. You catch details you might miss otherwise.

37

Thatā€™s a solid tip! I also find it helpful to set up a mirror during practice to self-correct. Seeing your form makes a difference.

38

So true! Plus, you can challenge yourself to improve with every swing using feedback.

39

Evaluating your stance can significantly impact your swing. Iā€™ve been working on that lately and am noticing improvements!

And remember, golf pants can actually help with movement. I feel more agile after switching mine!
