Have you ever thought about the feeling that shiny, dirty, worn grips transmit through your body ...?
The potential loss of confidence they may bring ...?
So you just can't commit properly to each shot ...?
**** BIG ADMISSION TIME ****
I'm not even sure how or when it happened ...
But I have slacked right off with my own training lately.

When I met Ray, he was in a pretty dark place.
Frustrated is an understatement ...
Putting words in Ray's mouth, I think he felt like his body was 'giving up' on him and his Golf Goals.

In all honesty, they generally do my head in ...

Something is better than nothing right? Only to a point...
The exercises you are doing in themselves may be OK. But put them in the context of your own individual strengths and weaknesses and its entirely possible to do yourself and your game more harm than good. Or, at best, get little to no beneficial result from all your hard work.
If there is one thing that can significantly help, or seriously hurt your golf swing it is your core strength & stability. So how do you know how strong, or how weak your own core stabilisers are currently...? How do you know how 'at risk' you are for a back injury...? How do you know how much more potential you have to hit the ball further and straighter by increasing your core strength and stability...?

Research tells us that 54% of the power delivered to the shoulders and arms in the golf swing, is generated by the LEGS and the CORE! The CORE muscles connect the LEGS to the shoulders and arms. Therefore, the CORE helps to transfer and deliver the power generated by the LEGS to the shoulders and arms and then through to the golf ball.
Conclusion: in order to hit the ball further we need to improve the stability and strength in your LEGS and your CORE to generate more power, more club-head speed and out-drive your friends!
