| | A Lower Body Golf Swing Can Generate Maximum PowerWritten by Mike Pedersen
The perfect lower body golf swing involves legs to a very large extent and it is therefore true to say that exercise that conditions these parts of body will have a positive impact on quality of golf swing.This truth is obvious when you take a closer look at lower body golf swing. During backswing, feet, knee and hamstring muscles are extremely important. The rest of lower body golf swing movement will usually require a lot of participation of hip and lower back. Thus no good golf exercise program designed to improve golf swing will avoid lower back. In fact some golfers are puzzled at first when they see some of golf specific exercises which concentrate on hamstring and lower parts of body. They may initially feel that too much emphasis is being placed on this lower part of body. Actually too much emphasis can hardly be placed on lower body when it comes to golf swing. This is because that is precisely where most of golf swings happen.
