Today you will see 2 informative videos that will introduce the so called mobility and stability sequence throughout the golf swing and how a weak side on your body can cause the most dreaded slice and many other frustrating golf shots.

It is a problem we have all faced, even to some degree myself. When I am playing well, I have a tendency to slowly allow my swing speed to get higher as I loosen up, what this does is put my golf swing kinetic chain sequence all out of whack, thus instead of the sequence on the the initiation of the downswing being the lower body and hips driving down and rotating externally first, my arms slash down at the ball in a casting fashion caused by rotating my torso externally.

For several shots I can get away with it without realizing I am doing it thanks to many hours of practice and good timing skills. The timing only lasts so long though until eventually I cast the club, come over the top and start slapping the golf shots a little bit. A Fade or a pull will occur more than once, and I always have to mentally and physically reign myself back in to the correct sequence and swing path to generate the consistent well struck golf shots I need.

The correct golf swing sequence and the need to incorporate the principles of the sequence into any golf fitness or golf workout is vital to producing consistent long distance well struck golf shots. This video covers this...

One of the main causes for the fabled common issue for golfers that is the dreaded "slice" is a swing path that comes over the top. Coming over the top or a downswing that it outside of plane relative to the back swing path and spine axis.

Frequently the incorrect swing path is caused by;

Poor Strength displacement (upper vs lower body)

An over dominant bi-lateral physique (right vs left)

Unstable lower body

Immobility to support the correct golf sequence.

Bi lateral deficit meaning if you are a right handed golfer, your right side is most likely your stronger, more favorable side. With this arm you will throw, perhaps write, prominently pick up things with, and as an occurance over time the shoulder upper back even the core becomes stronger more often than not than the less used left side.

Watch the video linked below for more explanation and you will see golf exercises that will reduce the deficit.

I have discussed this on separate occasions and the realization of the implications is crucial. If you suffer from an overly dominant side, it is nigh on impossible to create the correct golf swing sequence discussed earlier due to the fact that any separation from the left knee and rotation of the hip followed by the left shoulder pulling down and the upper left side rotating externally will not occur once the right side starts to hit at the ball instead of the entire body working in unison.

There are several golf exercises that accomplish the reduction of a bi-lateral deficit or dominant side, that develops strength and endurance to eradicate the over the top swing that may well cause the slice. one sided movements, or uni- lateral exercises

By developing a symmetrical balance stronger physique, the body can be allowed to perform the desired golf swing sequence we aspire to own. Watch this video that will explain further and show you an exercise you can try to reduce any deficit in your golf fitness physique.
