Flexibility / Mobility - Golf Fitness

[huds1475]

Anyone have any experience of golf specific programs, specifically for flexibility / mobility (as opposed to speed training)?

I’m about as flexible as piece of 4x2 and am thinking about investing in a program. Only problem is I can’t find anything that convincingly says will tailor to me and some out there look like out and out shysters

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Get a copy of the Pilates bible, learn the basics then look to find a local pilates teacher with understanding of golf movements

Yoga, all day long, if you can find a decent teacher. On line stuff is ok so long as you know what you're doing. Classes are better as the teacher will correct you if they are any good. Guess same is true for Pilates.

I have a stretching sequence that my pro gave me and I’ve been doing Jon Rahm’s daily movement prep too;

The stretching sequence I can post a scan of when I get to my scanner.

I've got the Golfers Guide to Pilates by Monica Clyne. Been meaning to get into it during the break but usually so knackered after work or weekends I've not actually done anything. I really need to find a window as I'm sure it would help my core and especially my bad back

Me and my golf do a flexibility plan.

BirdietimeTV tv have some good movement videos.

Parnaby performance on FB have some example video largely based around Pilates.

When it comes to stretching, little and often is the key at first.

Try 5-10 mins a day. I must stress the difference it’s made to me. I was as stiff as a plank of wood before and I feel so much better now! Not just in golf but in general. And I actually enjoy stretching.

I will have a look at that. Would be nice to have some progression to what I’m doing, and I feel like now I could actually do some of the movements.

U could check out
Katherine Robert's yoga for golfers
Draovitch and Simpson complete conditioning for golf
Or paul checks golf biomechanics manual.
The latter is a bit usa churchy preachy in how he puts things and I'm not a fan of some of the premises he chooses to cite and go off as a reason to condition, but the golf exercises themselves are fine.

Edit tpi always worth a mention

I couldn’t get away with the bio mechanics manual and it goes for a fortune.

U could check out anything by Ramsey mcmaster, now sadly deceased but some good stuff out there still.

Mark bull and hugh marr do some stuff in reigate too.

Edit: Pauls book is just under $50 on amazon and in stock

In fairness the teacher is, but I've not taken it up. Plan to do it on my own for now ?

with the golf spec stretching i've been doing i've seen an improvment of about 30% so far, tha was after about a month, but was from a very low starting point. not sure if its increased distance, but my pro and his asst have both done it and it has for them the young Asst reckoned he ach up to 10 yards and he already hit it a fair distance to start with.
