Nelly Korda has three exercises for you that will really improve your ball-striking

You’ve probably been told to turn, not sway or slide, in your backswing. You’ve also probably been told to maintain your spine angle throughout your swing. Those things are key to quality ball-striking, but they require a sufficient amount of strength and mobility to achieve. If you’re looking to make your swing more functional, stable and even powerful, try these exercises from LPGA star Nelly Korda.

Also note that she’s doing these squats with a 26-pound weight in each hand, increasing the difficulty, but Doddato recommends that you start by doing this exercise without weights and focus on form before adding any external loads.

“This kind of exercise keeps her very strong and grounded in her legs to load and unload under the force of her rotation,” Doddato says. “This is key in the golf swing, as it helps players eliminate the slide or sway, and instead have the strength to coil or wind in the backswing.”
