***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 was the year of distance on Tour. With Bryson DeChambeau leading the charge, 350-yard drives became status quo and driving greens became somewhat routine. Underneath that distance, however, is DeChambeau\u2019s commitment to being able to move his joints through their entire ranges of motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commitment to mobility is the main reason he\u2019s been able to overwhelm courses with mind-boggling drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to add distance this season like DeChambeau, or simply want to perform better on the course, mobility is the key to achieving your goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think I\u2019m bluffing, just ask GolfForever<\/a> founders Dr. Jeremy James and British Open champion Justin Leonard<\/a> why golfers sign up for the digital fitness app\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a survey conducted of it\u2019s members, GolfForever found that 52% of respondents said improving their flexibility and mobility was their main goal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart. <\/p>\n\n\n

This back-saving technique is the best way to pick your ball out of the hole<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Luke Kerr-Dineen <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

That\u2019s because our golf swings are dictated by our physical abilities, so poor flexibility and mobility limits how well you\u2019re able to move through the golf swing. If you can\u2019t get into good positions, your swing will suffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can fix this by working on increasing the range of motion in joints that are critical to your swing like the shoulders, thoracic spine, hips and ankles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not sure where to start in terms of improving your mobility, our readers can take advantage of an exclusive deal and get $51 off a one-year subscription to GolfForever’s fitness program to help you get in golf shape in time for the start of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n
