Hit it Longer in a Snap with Hip Snaps

10 minutes at the beginning of your driving range session or before playing  - for longer off the tee or in the fairway






Click HERE for a demonstration of the Hip Snaps Exercise.

Wake up your hips. Ever want to hit the ball father. Think you are an "arm swinger." Get your hips "alive" with this simple drill.

Stay square to front club. Hold club at waist level and keep it facing forward during the entire exercise.

Snap hips to the left and then the right. Slowly at first and then pick up the pace once the coordination of keeping the club still develops. Then start doing the drill back and forth as quickly as you can. It feels a little like a dance move. This will wake up your hips and teach your body to independently move hips without movement of the upper body.
"I believe there is a "most efficient" swing for each individual," says Jenni Martin. "There is no quick fix or cookie cutter swing. Knowing your body, beliefs, limitations and goals and putting this information to work via tried and true exercises and drills via your learning style (visual, kinematic or auditory) is the best way to improve and enjoy the game of golf. Trying to implement a  swing that your body cannot do or may cause you pain doesn't make sense. Motor learning and understanding is the best way to make correct and appropriate changes."


"Golf equipment has changed dramatically over the last 15 years, but average handicaps have not gone down. Let's work together to increase the enjoyment of this wonderful game we call golf."
