Learning the golf swing. When looking at a golfer you may think the sport is easy and anyone can do it but the golf swing is very complex and nearly impossible to perfect. In order to be consistant and have a similar swing overtime you must have a strong lower body. The legs must be able to balance your upper body while tuning at fast speeds. If not you will not have a similar swing every time and you will notice that the golf ball will curve right or left. You will notice in the video below that the golfer has a very strong lower body and is able to create very fast swing speeds with his upper body because he is balanced.

As you can see this golfers lower body is stable and has very little movement. Just about every player on tour has a swing similar to this and because of that stable lower body some players are able to reach club head speeds of 150 mph+. So next time you go to the driving range and you are trying to show off how far you can hit it remember that its not always about how hard you can swing but how well you can stay in balance and rotate. A good example of this is Rory McIlroy, he is only 5'7 and he is one of the longest hitters on tour not because he is strong but because he has incredible rotation.
