Split-stance Rotating lunges Get into a split
stance (lower than the lunge stance on
the previous page) with a club extended forward and your back heel up. Lunge down to just above the ground, letting both knees bend while rotating your torso over the lead leg. Keep your head still, and push into the floor to rise back into the start position. Do 5-10 reps in each direction. Benefits: Builds lower-body strength, improves hip mobility, promotes dynamic balance for greater swing control and increases upper- body mobility
Chair-stance lateral steps with rotations
Stand as you would at address, sitting a little deeper into the
hips. Hold the club between your hands, reaching your arms out. Maintaining a bend to both knees, step one leg out to the side. As you do this, rotate your spine, shoulders and club in the opposite direction (over the posted leg). Return to start, and repeat on the other side for one rep. Do 4-8 reps. Benefits: Promotes athletic posture at address, improves weight shift, increases swing stability and supports a smoother, more efficient swing.
