3 Tips for Improving Your Swinging Posture

In any golf lesson, the importance of releasing the club couldn't be emphasized enough. The proper release in playing golf is very important because it makes up to more than just one-half of the game. Here, you will learn three important tips on how you can fix your posture to improve your release of the golf club.
You may have noticed excellent golf players like Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan have very good postures even when they are just walking and they don't just do it to merely make an impression. If you have been doing some research for some golf lessons, you could've already found some instructors that give a very strong emphasis on proper posture when playing golf. The emphasis that they put is not baseless. A golf shot can actually be determined as good or bad even before the swing happens. You can affect the outcome of your shot just by merely changing the way you stand before you swing. In preparing for a swing, you should make sure that you stand very erect with your back standing very straight.
Many golf lessons provide a kind of exercise that you can do even when not holding a golf club to improve your standing posture. First is to stand about one foot away from a wall with your back facing that wall. Then lay your back next to that wall and be sure that the small of your neck and the small ball at the back of your head are also touching the wall. Also, make sure that your lower back is also touching the wall. Raise your elbows to the level of your shoulders then and bring your wrists up at the level of your forehead. By this time, your arms should be making a right angle. Retain this posture for about a minute every now and then. While doing this exercise train your body to remember the kind of position that it is doing so that you can retain that posture even after the exercise.
You may also do a variation of this which can be done by lying flat on the floor. For this exercise, you will need to the same thing for your back and shoulders. The difference are that you will now need a book about one or two inches thick to support the small ball behind your head and that you will no longer need to raise your wrist to the level of your forehead. Instead, you will have to place your hands in your navel while lying flat on the floor.
There is also a very simple exercise that you can do while walking which is simply imagining a string that pulls your head upward as your walk.
