Five Drills To Increase Flexibility and power

Many golfers do not understand how much the coil assists in a golfer’s power, as they believe the power comes from how hard a player hits the ball with their arms. There are five drills golfers can do to increase flexibility and power.

Coil Drill
The player should stand in the address position, but have a friend stand behind them. They should coil up for their backswing, and use their left hand, for a right handed golfer, to shake hands with the person behind them.

Leg Drive
The player should go to the top of their backswing, then drive their back leg towards the front leg. This will get the weight off their back foot.

Half-Swing
The player should make half-swings, ensuring that their chest ends parallel to the target. Most players will find that they do not get all of their weight transferred to the front leg.

Wall Drill
Players should make a back-swing, without a club, placing their hands on a wall. They will, now, want to shift their hips towards the target, while attempting to keep their hands on the wall. This will allow them to feel the lag in their swing.

Pivot Drill
The player should stand in their address position and practice, explosively, turning towards the target. This will allow them to feel the power, which their lower body is capable of producing.
