How Can You Improve Your Golf Swing With Workout Programs?

Senior golfers of all ages are now into yoga and golf fitness programs. With age comes a decline in both flexibility and strength. When the body declines, the golf swing goes right along with it. The end result is a big loss in yardage, more mishits, and ballooning scores. Your golf mindset also changes in both attitude and frustration. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from older golfers who I’m playing with, that are just about ready to quit the game. However, there is hope for all golfers who are ready to change and improve your golf swing.

Do you want to discover the secret to creating more power and consistency in your golf swing? By participating in workouts that’s  geared towards a specific golf program that focuses on strength and flexibility. You don’t have to accept that with age, your body does decline. No way! The golfers who are working out, are the same ones who are enjoying the game again in later life, and taking all of the money in the birdie pool.  It’s amazing to see golfers in this age bracket dramatically improve their driving distance, accuracy and scores.

What is a golf workout? The golf swing is an awkward movement that puts a tremendous amount of stress on the body. To prevent injuries and improve your golf swing speed and distance requires your body to be both strong and flexible. The golf swing is a rotational movement, with your body being in different sequential golf positions.  Since the golf swing is primarily an axial rotational movement, wouldn’t it make sense to focus on rotational strength and flexibility? That is improving your turning ability related to range of motion and  speed. Therefore, anything involving twisting with resistance such as a medicine ball, a dumbbell, or even a weighted club would work. You need to have a  resistance to take your body beyond where it normally goes.

Get into the habit of using a weighted golf club in warming up before practicing or playing a round of golf. Do some pre-routine stretching exercises before swinging your first golf club. Take the weighted golf club and place it behind your neck, get into your golf posture and rotate back and forth  behind your neck. Do you think that would improve your range of motion or power before hitting?

Since you’re probably on your own time practicing, unless you decide to take a golf lesson from a licensed professional who can help you.  Keep in mind the secret to improve your golf swing is to first figure out what your golf swing flaws are.  Analysis to yourself what might be going wrong and then practice to correct the problems. You want to consider all of the major factors affecting your golf swing. Take what you’ve learned, and your next step should be to work on those weaknesses at your local driving range.  Continue to keep hitting golf balls after balls until you’ve muscled memorized and developed a consistent, repeatable and solid golf swing. Once you’ve got that consistency, then you can fine tune the little details. What’s so nice about working to improve your golf swing is that you have such an easy test to see if it’s working. Is the ball landing in the general area you planned? (Yes or No!)

Golfers will try anything if they think it will help improve their golf swing mechanics. Even if it requires maneuvering their bodies into exotic poses called cobra, pigeon, locust and alligator twist. Yoga is relatively simple, and all of us baby boomers need to get a little more flexible so that we can go out and play golf without twisting our backs around. Yoga has become a growing interest and popular acceptance among golfers. The prospect of becoming more flexible is what usually draws golfers to yoga. Yoga is an exercise that uses poses and stretches that can improve flexibility, strength and balance. Properly practiced, yoga breathing also can be calming and relaxing. Beyond the benefits of flexibility and strength, yoga also can enhance a player’s mental game. Yoga really is a way to quiet the mind, and you can learn the right steps in how to practice the correct breathing that will give you the greater performance on the golf course.

Yoga takes out the kinks, relaxing both muscle and mind, and muscle can be too tight as a result of exercising. Tight muscles can lead to injury to muscles and tendons, which is why athletes are constantly advised to work on flexibility. Yoga can be tailored to specific sports. Golfers for instance, could work on  their swing by doing the torso twists of yoga’s cobra pose, which would strengthen the spine. In the cobra, a person lies on the stomach, then uses the hands to help lift the torso off the floor. Regular yoga improves strength and flexibility such as the muscles that extends out from the  elbow helping to increase in strength by 31 percent, and muscles that extend the knee got another 28 percent stronger. Also, the exercisers ability to use oxygen increased at least 6 percent. Yoga also can help an athlete work on the sense of balance, by making you aware of your body’s position in space. Yoga does make you become familiar with your body. Yoga activity’s gives certain aspects of your golf swing mechanics to help you keep focused during a round of golf.  They find a better inner balance with the end result being they have better performance.  It’s a calming influence, everybody I know says it helps their concentration, and keeps you in the moment. Doing Yoga Exercises Improves Your Golf Swing Mechanics!

Now that you’ve exercised, stretched and practiced hitting golf balls at the driving range before playing. You’re all warmed up for your round of golf. Just doing these preparations will help to improve your golf game. However, you want more to battle the yardages ahead of you. Having the right golf equipment is essential to improving a golfers mindset and self-confidence. Krank Golf is in the business of selling drivers. We are also in the business of making sure every golfer who buys our driver hits it as straight and long as possible. Many golfers have asked us to put in writing what we teach. So after spending countless hours watching over 60,000 golfers demo our drivers, we have had a unique opportunity to see virtually every swing type on the planet. Combine that with the experience of competing on the Long Drive Tour where accuracy and distance goes hand in hand, we have decided to put in writing and soon to create a DVD on what we call ”QUIET GOLF”.

It is very important to us at KRANK GOLF that every single golfer that purchased a driver from us hits it very very well! We know that a few simple swing suggestions will dramatically enhance the distance and accuracy for every golfer. Our goal is to improve your golfing experience. To be honest, our real goal is to have you KRANK the ball so Long and Straight that all your buddies freak out, fall to the ground and start worshipping the ground you walk on. Well maybe that’s a little too much. Seriously, the success of our company is only going to come from how well you hit the golf ball not us. Therefore, we have created a hitting system called ”Quiet Golf”. The simple explanation is ”’the elimination of all unnecessary lower body motion”. This is truly how big hitters can swing as hard as they do, maximize their distance and still hit it straight.

Our training methods concentrate on creating a golf swing so simple that it is easy to duplicate under any pressure situation. We believe by eliminating all unnecessary lower body motion during your down swing, keeping the feet flat on the ground, driving at the ball starting with the upper body not the feet, the premature jump, slide, dive and turn will for the most part will be eliminated. Thus, creating a much more consistent impact and significantly more power through the golf  ball. It’s really simple if you think about it. If you are going to jump, slide, dive and turn your lower body 12 to 15 inches to the left (right handers) during your down swing, by the time you get to the ball your hands and hips are so far in front of the ball that not only have you wasted all your lower body power, you have created so much motion that the ball may as well be moving too, because the only time you are going to hit it straight is when you get lucky.

The following are two different swing techniques:

Feel verses Technical:
The first is a Feel Swing: This golf swing has a lot of motion during the entire swing. The lower body is in full motion during the down swing and relies on your ability to control and coordinate all that motion so that it meets up at the ball at the right time. An example of a Feel Golfer is John Daly. We believe this swing type is by far the most difficult type of swing to master and for the most part cannot be taught.  Certainly great golfers have feel, but we believe it is a natural gift that great golfers develop over time.

The second is a Technical Swing: This swing has very limited lower body motion. That doesn’t mean that you don’t take a full swing. Just that your lower body  starting with your feet, doesn’t fire,  jump and push ahead of your upper body. This swing is a controlled swing. It looks effortless. It looks Quiet. This is the type of swing you have seen and you might have said to the golfer ”I can’t believe how smooth your swing is and how far you still hit the ball!”

An example of a Technical Golfer is Mike Weir. As a left handed golfer, his left heel is still on the ground or less than an inch off the ground at impact. Even when he hits his driver. If you really think about it, you cannot slide, dive or turn your lower body with your heel still on or close to the ground at impact of the golf ball. (right heel for right handers and left heel for left handers).

This type of swing is far easier to duplicate under pressure and when done correctly creates far more power, which means distance. The science behind Quite Golf is solid. By driving at the golf ball starting with your upper body, and leaving your feet flat on the ground. You must keep  your right heel on the ground longer (right handers), powering thru the ball and simply turning the right foot after impact.  Don’t push off with the right foot, and keep the hips from sliding to the left.  You will create the power and accuracy you have been looking for.  Not to get too scientific,  but power is created by resistance, compression and velocity.  By staying connected to the ground and eliminating all the unnecessary motion that most golfers mistakenly think is important, accuracy and power is created. When you combine QUIET GOLF and the Krank Golf Drivers, which is the highest ball speed and lowest spin driver made, all of your driving dreams will come true.

Improve Your Golf Swing With Accuracy, Consistency And Control By Using

I Krank Golf Custom Golf Clubs To Fit Your Golfing Needs

The following is a step-by-step overview of what we call QUIET GOLF.
1. Use 2  inch tees barely put in ground.
2. Tee up ball forward in stance at left heel or toe. (Right handed golfers)
3. Put outside of feet at shoulder width.
4. Straighten right foot. Do not toe out right foot. Left foot is OK to toe out a little.
5. Take club straight back, low and slow.
6. Initiate down swing at the ball with your upper body, leaving your feet flat on the ground.
7. At impact of ball your left shoulder should feel a little shrugged to help you keep square to the target and your right heel should be on the ground or no more than one inch off the ground. Remember we are trying to eliminate pushing off the right foot, which causes your hips and lower body to slide prematurely to the left during your down swing.
8. Keep your head and chin down at impact.
9. Finish with simply turning your right foot, by squashing the bug, not pushing off the right toe.
10. Your finish position should be balanced. Finish pretty. Most Teaching Pros talk about getting to your left side. Be careful not to get too far to your left side. Finish with your left hip on top or a little back from you left foot. Not out in front of your left hip. The more you slide your hips to the left during your swing the more difficult it will be to hit straight and long. Oversliding your hips is what makes 95% of all golfers SLICE the ball.

You can put that in the bank!  Give it a try. It really is that simple ! As you can see, the most common problem most amateur golfers have with their golf swing plane is that they try to hit the ball with the same general motion and muscles that they would use to swing a baseball bat. That’s only natural, since a bat’s probably the main thing most of us grew up swinging. But it’s totally wrong too.  Almost everything about a golf swing is different from swinging a bat, and the only way to get it right is practice, practice, practice!  Like Bob Hope once said,  “If you watch a game,  it’s fun.  If you play it,  it’s recreation.  If you work at it,  it’s golf!”

The best kept secret by Moe Norman was to keep your golf swing simple.
