Isometric Rotational Hold
Potentially the most important muscle group, the core is composed of all the muscle from hips to shoulders. It effects full body movements as well as maintaining posture throughout movements. The core effects the transfer of energy from the lower to upper body. A strong core improves all aspects of golf from maintaining posture to increasing club head speed as well as helps prevent injuries
Starting position:
Start standing in “golf, or athletic posture” slightly away from the pullies, handle in hand, 90 with the cable at a 90-degree angle from the body.
Movement:
Press the handle straight out in front of the chest while maintaining a neutral spine and hold the position for a given amount of time. Do not allow the hips or shoulders to rotate.
Notes: Vary the resistance with adding weight or moving closer or further from attachment point with resistance band. POSTURE, is more important than amount of resistance.
