Torso Acceleration Drill
Get in a 5-iron posture with your arms crossed over your chest. Keep your pelvis in place and rotate the upper body toward your trail leg as far as you can comfortably go. Rotate back to the starting position without letting your pelvis move. Now finish the movement by rotating to a full finish position. Throughout the exercise maintain stable posture and your shoulder plane.

Pelvis Punch Drill (range exercise)
This drill is ideal for arm swingers
Take your address and swing the club back so that it is parallel. Without swinging back any further hit the ball. At first you will feel like you have no power in your swing, but with practice you will start to synchronize your lower and upper body. Due to the lack of momentum in the backswing you will feel the only way to generate power is using the proper sequence of pelvis, upper body and arms.

Is your mission to become a better golfer? Like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible, “Should you choose to accept this mission” you will not be disappointed. You are on the right path if you are doing yoga, stretch routines, strengthening and balance programs, but if you don’t know how to fire those golf muscles in the right pattern then you are not accomplishing your mission. If you incorporate these sequencing exercises you will take your game to a new level. Those magical shots that feel effortless are just a stone’s throw away.
