Overswinging the Club is Often a Direct Result of Poor Core Strength and Stability

Overswinging the club, also thought of as taking the club past the point where it is parallel to the ground at the top of the backswing, is often associated with those golfers wanting more distance. Logically, we equate a longer swing arc with more distance which may be so if the body can get all the pieces and parts back into the appropriate place in the swing by the time of impact. Overswinging the club puts the arms and hands farther out of position making it difficult for all but those golfers with the best hand eye coordination to get the club into the correct position for impact. John Daly is a classic example of a golfer whose club goes past parallel but his athleticism and superior hand eye coordination make up for it.

In the backswing, the club should be taken back as far as you turn your shoulders. If that doesn't feel like enough to you, your weak link is likely the core of your body which serves to transfer the power from the lower body to the upper body during the downswing. The Overswinging the Club Golf Fitness Program will help you build the strength and stabilization you need in your core to allow you to complete the power transfer.

Chances are good if you are an overswinger that you need some additional strength and power built up in your mid section. It is possible, but less common, that your core strength is decent but you are lacking in the ability to activate the core muscles during the golf swing. In this case, you may need some reminder exercises on how to activate the core most efficiently.

The exercises and stretches in the Overswinging the Club Golf Workout will bring you stability and strength in your core in addition to helping you move the muscles in your lower body so your upper body doesn’t have to continue to do all the work in the golf swing. It's important to cure the overswinging habit before it brings injury to your body.

This golf fitness program utilizes supersets. You will 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, you will rest 30 seconds, then repeat again. Once the superset is complete, you will move to the next superset.
