What makes you so powerful?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Joe #2: &ldquo;I practiced the FOUR crucial steps that the professionals at The S.P.O.R.T. Specialists taught me!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s right!&nbsp; FOUR steps to a better golf swing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Flexibility:<\/p>\n<p>You do not have to be Gumby in order to hit a golf ball nor do you have to practice contorting yourself in order to effectively hit the ball.&nbsp; You need to ensure that you have adequate flexibility in your body for the sport.&nbsp; Find your tight spots, and stretch them!&nbsp; You do NOT have to stretch everything; just the muscles that are holding you back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stability:<\/p>\n<p>This does NOT mean that you stand on an unstable surface with your eyes closed juggling bowling pins lit on fire!&nbsp; Stability means that the joint(s) has(have) the capacity to withstand forces in practically ALL ranges of motion.&nbsp; Example: Your shoulders have to be stable at the top of the backswing and at the top of the follow through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Strength:<\/p>\n<p>Strength can only come once flexibility and stability have been established. Strengthen ONLY muscles that are weak!&nbsp; If you can squat properly but cannot execute a proper lunge, why would I give you more squats in your exercise program?&nbsp; Work on the weakness!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Power:<\/p>\n<p>NOW we&rsquo;re talkin&rsquo;!&nbsp; If you have shown proficiency in the previous 3 stages, you WILL hit that ball farther&hellip;maybe not 295 yards, but farther than ever before! And the BEST part: Less potential for injury!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story:<\/p>\n<p>You CANNOT effectively get away with just trying to outperform your buddies. Golf is a very technical sport.&nbsp; It takes timing, hand-eye coordination, weight transfer, excellent posture at address with no mechanical breakdowns in form throughout the swing!&nbsp; Therefore: stretch, stabilize, strengthen and reap the rewards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 SIMPLE Steps to a Better Golf Swing &nbsp; Would you like some OOMPH with that swing? &nbsp; Joe #1: &ldquo;I really hit that ball! 220 yards! &nbsp; Joe #2: &ldquo;Did you see my shot?
