Question about core muscles during your swing
When you reach the top of your backswing and your stomach muscles have tightened does anyone contract the muscles a little further before uncoiling on the downswing? Or do you allow the muscles to contract and tighten naturally as part of the backswing? I am obviously trying to increase clubhead swing and distance on my drives...thanks.
i think everyone agrees that to stay fit
for golf is always a good idea. but, as we see since the arrival of tiger woods, a proactive view on fitness in golf is revolutionizing the entire industry. will it matter to most people here if we can hit 5-10 yards longer in the overall scheme of things? probably not. will it matter to a top 200 pga player? very likely.
annika does 700-1000 sit-ups a day. may be she likes pain, or may be she is fully aware of the importance of core muscles conditioning. with her schedule and intensity, any weak link in that area means that she can develop injury on the next swing which she cannot afford to. so she is doing her share of preventive health maintenance.
for regular folks (sorry if you do not belong), we also have to stay fit to avoid injury. the awareness of this core concept helps us isolate m groups to pay attention to. it can be technical, but it does not have to be.
regards.
