How To Make A Full Shoulder Turn In Your Golf Swing When You're Not Flexible
This article is going to be somewhat controversial. It might even be considered sacrilege to some. Who knows, it might even incite outrage. But there's only one way to know for sure. Read on.
Do you envy golfers who can address the ball, keep their hips from turning, yet turn their left shoulder well behind the ball? Well, what if you could create maximum shoulder turn (which we all know is a major contributor to a more powerful golf swing), without doing anything to enhance your flexibility?
Sounds impossible doesn't it? And it can be if you're inflexible (or too lazy to work on your flexibility). Don't worry, I'm not going to try to shame you into stretching like a rubber band. Instead, I'm going to point out something that Bobby Jones did, something his contemporaries did too, like "Slammin" Sam Snead for instance. Okay, Sam Snead wasn't one of his contemporaries, but they did the same thing.
Know what it is?
Before I tell you, it's important that you know it's not being "taught" in the modern golf swing. The modern golf swing emphasizes strength and flexibility. That's the state of the game today at the highest levels. And since the highest levels influence teaching methods for the rest of the golfing world, that's why this is not being taught.
That said: It's time to tell you how to create a full shoulder turn without stretching exercises for days or weeks on end. But I must warn you, it flies in the face of convention. However, I must also point out, that a current tour player (Vijay Singh) does it.
And what's that he does?
He turns his hips too!
They don't stay put. They move. They turn. Just doing that alone will put your shoulders half way behind the ball. The remainder can be done by turning your shoulders as well.
Pretty sneaky huh?
Next time you see video of Bobby, or Sam, or Vijay...observe the movement in their hips. Witness their ability to make a seemingly effortless shoulder turn...just before they smash their shot down the fairway.
