3 Golf Exercises for Better Separation
The challenge is this is something that typically doesn’t come naturally and proper exercise is needed to achieve this skill. If you lack thoracic rotation you will always move from other segments until you achieve activation in your thoracic spine.
In this video Greg takes you through 3 exercises that will help you gain the separation you need to play top level golf while decreasing your chance for injury.
