So this is hard?
I’m 67 years old and this move is a piece of cake. What was difficult was McLean’s original and flawed X Factor which told the golfer to restrict the turn of the hips and the lower body to create coil. Physical therapy professionals love that move.
This instruction is sound and natural, allows for free range of motion, and does not strain or stretch your back and rib cage muscles to the point of tearing.
Just try it.

Well, first of all it looks quite painful to have a tube stuck thru your hips…

As a comment to Steve’s question about Bikram Yoga (also called ‘Hot Yoga’ as it is performed in a room heated to 105°F / 40.5°C): 9 out of 10 yoga instructors see it as nothing but a commercial gimmick. Yoga is about stretching, breathing, meditating and ‘relaxing’, most of which hot yoga doesn’t provide. Many people actually complain about dizziness during workout, and about body aching after the workout. I know this from my wife who is a certified yoga instructor. It is very popular though…

Hey Mike, quick question. What golf exercises would you recommend for a non golfer? I like trying different things.

I’ve heard of it Steve, but don’t know much about it. I’m too “type-A” to hold a yoga pose for that long .

Hi Mike,
No doubt about it a ton of instruction out there is not fundementally sound. The golf swing is easy given the correct information. Work on that body/mind and short game a ton and you will get better!!!
One question for you, have you heard of Bikram Yoga? And what do you think about it?

I just wished they’d bring up the importance of flexibility and strength in golf, and not so much the ideal positions most golfers cannot ever get in . Thanks for dropping by.

This is very true. If the average person off the street tried to physically swing like Tiger they would winde up with their body in an “S” shape in be in bed for a while.

If you can’t physically get in the position to make a swing, or any other sporting move all the knowledge of the correct mechanics won’t help you.

Good thoughts!
