After doing the Russian Twist on Swiss Ball for just a short period of time, you will notice an increase in your ability to make a full and tension-free backswing. You will also feel like you have more power coming into impact during your downswing.
This is just one simple Swiss ball exercise for golf you can do to effectively improve your golf swing power.
