Key benefits of this move:
Stretches your upper shoulder regionImproves your backswing
Improves range of motion in your shoulder area
Your goal is a repetition of 8-10 times. You can do this move every day!
The Set Up & Execution
• Use a golf club, hold it across your thighs with arms extended.
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Raise the club above your head, extending your arms straight.
• Slowly bend your arms at the elbows, and drop the club behind your head so that it rests on your shoulders.
• Raise your arms up over your head again.
• Slowly raise the club up and down, taking your shoulders through their full range of motion.
Tight shoulders restrict your backswing, often resulting in the Left-Arm Breakdown and shortening the golf arc. We need a wide arc for distance.
Perform slowly and methodically for safe results.
So let’s make sure you get green checks on these key points:
• Establish a shoulder-width stance.
• Squeeze shoulder blades on the way down.
• Utilize a full extension at the top.
