Golf swing training can be accomplished using exercise tubing, a single dumbbell, a weighted medicine ball, and even a weighted club. Any of these approaches will result in a more powerful golf swing that produces more yards off the tee.
The main muscles that need to be trained and strengthened for driving distance are the core rotational muscles. The core is the engine of your golf swing. The supporting muscle groups such as shoulders, arms and even wrists play important secondary roles in achieving maximum driving distance.
One simple golf swing training exercise I use employs a weighted medicine ball. This ball can be purchased at your local fitness equipment store or on the Web and doesn't cost too much. You will see an almost instant improvement in your power and driving distance with regular reps of this exercise, which we call the "Downard Wood Chop with Medicine Ball." Here's how to do it:
