Increasing Your Shoulder Turn Can Give You More Distance on Every Club

Watching the players on the professional tours can help us all understand why a shoulder turn is so important in golf. For most golfers, it allows the body to make a proper body motion, allows the club to stay on plane in the backswing and helps to create more distance off the tee and in the fairway.

At the top of the backswing, Tiger Woods has his left shoulder over his right knee. If you imagine a cord stretching from from the back of his left shoulder, down the center of his back and all the way through to the back of his right knee, you can then start to visualize the amount of stability and flexibility required in many of those muscles that you traversed with the cord. Musculature deficiencies can result in what many teaching pros call the "fake shoulder turn". If the golfer leaves the left shoulder over the left knee or lets the left shoulder drop markedly lower than the right, although the shoulders are turning, they are leaving the body weight stranded on the forward side which will cause a number of bad shots.

The Increase Shoulder Turn Golf Workout works on strengthening and stretching all the muscles in the chain that can impact your ability to perform a proper shoulder turn. Perform this routine up to 4 times weekly, always with 1 day of rest in between workouts, for best results.

The exercises and stretches in this program are performed in supersets. Begin by performing the number of repetitions for each exercise, then immediately move to the next exercise in the superset. After you perform one set of each exercise in the superset, rest 30 seconds, then repeat again. Once the superset is complete, move to the next superset.
