3 Key Mobility Drills to Improve Your Golf Swing
1. Open-Book Thoracic Rotations
Why it’s important: This drill increases thoracic spine rotation, helping you create a smoother backswing and follow-through.
How to do it:
Lie on your side with knees bent at 90 degrees.
Extend both arms straight in front of you, palms together.
Rotate your top arm open, trying to touch the floor behind you without moving your hips.
Hold for a few seconds and return to start.
Repeat 8–10 times per side.
2. 90/90 Hip Rotations
Why it’s important: Mobile hips allow for better lower-body stability and rotational power.
How to do it:
Sit on the floor with both knees bent at 90 degrees.
Rotate your hips from side to side, keeping your chest tall.
Hold each position briefly before switching.
Perform 10 reps per side.
3. Lat Stretch with Club
Why it’s important: Tight lats can restrict your shoulder turn and lead to compensations in your swing.
How to do it:
Grab a golf club with both hands and place it in front of you at shoulder height.
Hinge your hips back and extend your arms forward, feeling a stretch in your lats.
Hold for 20–30 seconds and repeat 2–3 times.
