Golf Exercises And Workout With 8 Pound PowerBall

GolfGym creator, Ken Pierce, takes you through a workout using the GolfGym eight pound double handled PowerBall. In the workout, you will perform exercises specifically designed to strengthen and stretch the muscles in your shoulders, core and legs which will help with your golf swing performance. This workout is also designed with some high intensity to get your heart rate up and bring plenty of air into your lungs.

The eight pound PowerBall has been designed with the best feeling handles or grips of any ball on the market today. You can get your hands on the inside with comfort and on the outside for a firm grip. The Power Ball is available at:

These exercises, if done 3 – 4 times a week will also help with balance and load. While performing the movements, it is important to stay in balance. In the golf swing, balance is critical to better performance and stability.

Golf fitness is very important to professional golfers on the PGA Tour, the Web.com Tour, The Champions Tour, the LPGA Tour and the European Tour. Professional Golfers are becoming more fit and hitting the golf ball much farther than ever before. Of course the golf equipment has improved dramatically, but the body still needs to swing the club, and with a fit body, the result is more distance and power.

Try this workout with the eight PowerBall to help with developing strength, flexibility, power, more rotation in your golf swing and with overall better health.

Learn How to Hit a Golf Shot From a Downhill Lie

How to Hit a Golf Shot From a Downhill Lie or Ball Below your Feet

When the ball is lying on a downhill lie, the play is not difficult, but a little skill is required here. Set up with your body leaving a little forward and your hands well ahead of the ball.

The big must is that you must hit the ball first. Stay down on the shot and try for an extended follow through. As a result the ball will fly low and a little longer.

So, as you take a less lofted club for your uphill lie, so you will
take a more lofted club for your downhill lie. The slope of the hill takes the loft from your club,
so a seven iron can become like a 5 iron and a pitching wedge like a seven iron.

Perhaps not as extreme as this, but you get what I mean I think.

What about when the ball is above your feet?

Well, the biggest danger here is hitting it fat, or hiring the
ground before you hit the ball.

Play this shot like a chip shot. You will see what I mean in a
minute.
Because the ball is above your feet, then you will not have to go
down so far to reach the ball. This means that you stand more erect.

To further avoid hitting the ball fat, position the ball
further back in your stance than normal.

Have your hands well ahead of the ball.

Now, as I said you hit the ball as in a chip shot.
This means with firm wrists.
The actual swing is as needed for the distance required.

Keep the hands ahead of the club head at all times and
as I said, hit with firm wrists.

Move your wrists towards the target. To be more exact, move the back of your left hand toward the
target. If you want more loft, open the clubface a little.

Use a Golf Journal to Lower Your Scores For Less Than a Dollar

Lower Your Golf Scores For Less Than a Dollar

As I give more and more golf lessons, it amazes me how much money people will spend with me and as soon as they leave it is like the golf lesson never happened!

I suggest to all of my students to keep a golf journal. With a golf journal, we can get together at the end of the lesson and discuss what their homework will be until the next golf lesson. The challenge for me is that less than 5% of my students do this and then wonder why they are not progressing as fast as they would like.

I have attempted to emphasize how important this is by bringing a clip board with a lesson sheet on it. I keep notes on it through the lesson for myself as well as for the student. After the lesson, we discuss what is on the sheet and I then scan the sheet and email it to them for them to use, record in their own way way, I guess, trash.

You can improve your golf game and handicap much faster for under a couple of dollars! Although you can purchase a nice golf journal such as The Ultimate Golf Journal by Lisa Bach, you can accomplish your goals with a small notebook that you can keep in your pocket, attach to your push cart or put on the steering wheel of the golf cart while you play.

There is no secret to improving your handicap and shooting lower scores. The answer is that it practice, practice, and more practice. We have all had those moments on the driving range where we can not miss and the next time out we can not remember what we were thinking or working on to make the ball react the way we wanted. By keeping a golf journal, you can jot it down as it happens or after your practice session.

Whether you take lessons or not, it is important to keep a golf journal or a small notebook (less than a dollar) with you when you practice or play. It is important to note the flight of the golf balls. Do they start by flying to the left or right? Once they get to the top of their flight do they topple forward or to the left or right? What about the trajectory of your golf shots? Are they too low, or too high? Occasionally after a couple of rounds of golf, you will start to see tendencies. If you do take lessons, this will be valuable information for your professional. As we all know, the golf ball sometimes tends to fly differently once we are on the golf course.

You will also want to begin keeping simple stats in your golf journal. I do this a lot by using a scorecard and using each line for a separate statistic. You will want to keep fairways hit or missed, greens hit or missed, up and downs that are converted and the number of putts that you take on each hole.

By keeping a simple golf journal with some of these easy suggestions along with others that you will come up with in your own, you will begin to see good and bad patterns forming. With this information, you can improve your weaknesses and lower your handicap.
