Every golfer wants to have a full golf swing. Numerous quick and effective exercise drills can help you get one, by improving both your golf-specific strength and flexibility. I'm a huge proponent of golf exercise drills to achieve a full golf swing. You can do them quickly and easily in the convenience of your home and see maximum benefit.

To achieve a full golf swing, you have to focus on the rotary aspect of the swing. Since the golf swing is simply a turn (rotate) back, and a turn (rotate) through, you need to perform golf swing exercise drills that incorporate core rotational movements.

I have put together dozens of these full golf swing exercise drills in my DVDs and manual, and you can even come up with your own by using your imagination.

When you are inventing these golf exercises, try to eliminate or stabilize the lower body by either sitting on a stability ball or chair, or really focusing on no hip rotation when doing these golf swing drills. You'll get maximum benefit out of improving your upper body turn while having minimal lower body turn. This creates the big differential we call the "x-factor."
