Do These DRILLS to Improve Hip Strength and Ball Striking in Golf

Anthony Vessecchia from Scratch Golf Academy demonstrates a series of side-lying hip exercises designed to strengthen the abductors and adductors. These drills are specifically targeted at golfers who sit frequently or travel, helping to restore pelvic stability. By improving hip strength, golfers can achieve a more effective weight shift and better rotation throughout the golf swing.

• Maintain alignment between your rear end, heels, and shoulders during side-lying exercises.
• Avoid letting your hips roll backward during clamshells to ensure the gluteus medius is doing the work.
• Point your toe toward the ground during straight leg raises to prevent the hip flexors from taking over.
• Strengthening the adductors (inner thighs) is critical for a stable weight shift toward the target.
• Perform 10 repetitions of each movement for two cycles on both sides for best results.
