Many junior golfers lack shoulder strength for a consistent and powerful swing. Shoulder exercise for golf will not only improve power throughout the swing, it will promote a consistent top of the backswing position with stronger shoulders that can control the club during the golf swing.
Shoulder flexibility with junior golfers is not ever an issue, but improving shoulder strength specific to the golf swing will make a major difference in golf performance.
An example of a shoulder exercise for golf is the Standing Shoulder Press
Instructions:
- Stand erect with dumbbells in both hands, palms facing forward.
- Start pushing dumbbells overhead and rotate to the right at the same time.
- Complete motion to extended finish position and lower back to start.
- Repeat 6 reps one way and 6 turning the other way.
- Complete 3 sets of 12 total repetitions.
Benefits to Golf Swing:
- Improves turning motion specific to golf, while lifting a resistance.
- Sequence of motion improves swing mechanics.
- Strong shoulders for more clubhead speed and control.
This is just one example of a shoulder exercise for golf that can have an immediate impact on your golf performance.
