Before I tell you about a golf swing that is a great combination of

power and precision, and it’s easy to learn and execute, let me break down

because of how strong and flexible Tiger Woods is. First, your

strength:

Tiger works out with weights at least 5 or 6 days a week and pounds

per pound, one of the strongest athletes who ever lived.

(40 minutes) A ​​trainer assists you with physical therapy to help

your body to prepare your joints for the rigors of a golf swing

club.

press and squats Tiger trains with weight machines, free weights,

dumbbells and medicine balls every time you work out.

speed through the ball.

flexible enough to emulate Tiger’s swing, then go ahead because

it’s a great golf swing. For everyone else who wants a combination of power and

accuracy with much less practice, and that you have average strength and

flexibility like most people, the “3-Step Swing” is for you. In
