BALANCE: Do This To Improve Your Ball Contact, Eliminate Swaying and Chunked Shots

Part 2 of 3

In this series of videos I am with Paul Woytus, DPT, a Las Vegas-based physical therapist whose passion is golf fitness.  An Evans Scholar who caddied for eight years at Bandon Dunes, he explains basic exercises addressing the three areas studies show make the difference between average and exceptional players, those being flexibility, balance and strength. These moves can be done at home, at your gym, with or without a trainer.  Paul also is certified by the Titleist Performance Institute.  My goal in this series is specific, to help you gain distance which is key to reducing your scores.
