Golf Muscles - Timing - Golf Mechanics: The Key To A Powerful Golf Swing

Golf swing power is truly sought after by many golfers short and
tall.

A powerful golf swing can be easily accomplished if you're
standing 6ft tall over the golf ball. Knowing the right mechanics
of the golf swing, along with the right timing is essential. If you
take two golfers of the same height, the exact same swing, same
golf club and ball, the results in distance would probably be the
same. If you take the same scenario and one golfer is approximately
6ft.

tall, and the other approximately 5ft. tall, the advantage
would be to the taller person. You're probably saying, no kidding
Sherlock. A taller person creates a longer and bigger swing span,
which in turn generates more club head speed.

Unleashing a huge
drive can be monstrous if all golf mechanics and timing are in sync
for a fairly tall person. So how does a shorter golfer stand to
compete?
The answer would probably lie in the golf muscles of a shorter
golfer. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to go out and bench
press 400 lbs everyday. By exercising your upper and lower golf
muscles two or three times a week, you can make a world of
difference.

The golf muscles that need to be exercised would be the
legs, thighs, and whole upper portion of the body. The upper
portions of the body are the main coil of the golf swing, with the
arms and wrist getting the most
exercise. As these same muscles are
used most to guide and control the weight of the golf club through
the motion of the golf swing. The lower portion of the body is
strengthened to reinforce the upper portion of the golf swing.

There are many books and videos on the
Internet that address these
exercises.
Golfers that prefer to exercise outdoors and are not sure of the
appropriate exercises to use should take the exercise out on the
practice range hitting golf balls. By hitting golf balls at the
practice range, you will be exercising the important golf muscles
naturally, and greatly improve your golf swing at the same time.
Have you heard of golf muscle memory? It is a part of the
brain that remembers a movement.

Putting it another way, have you felt a muscle say, stop right
there? This same part of the brain will tell moving parts of
your body how far you can take it, so you do not injure
yourself. It also signals for the timing of certain muscles to
kick in and take over, if your latter part of the brain were
paying attention. It would also remember good habits and bad
habits in the golf swing. One must be careful in their practice
routine on avoiding the bad habits.

Practicing regularly will
exercise these certain muscles and train them for further swing
improvement in proper moves and timing. Your golf muscles will
take the golf mechanics and timing to a higher level of power by
exercising them over and over again.
With regular exercise and practicing the golf mechanics and
timing of the golf swing, both short and tall players can compete
on the same level. To out distance your taller competitors, it
would help to pack a few extra pounds of golf muscle behind your
golf swing.

The same would apply for the taller golfer to stay
ahead of the crowd.
