Is Tightness Holding Back Your Golf Swing?

Unlock More Power in Your Golf Swing with the Open Book Stretch – Green Bay, WI

Is Tightness Holding Back Your Golf Swing?

Many golfers struggle with limited mobility, stiffness, and restricted rotation, all of which can impact swing mechanics and power. If you find it difficult to achieve a full backswing or feel tension during rotation, incorporating golf stretches and exercises into your routine is essential.

At Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI, we specialize in golf fitness training to help you improve your range of motion, flexibility, and overall performance. One of the most effective movements for unlocking better rotation is the Open Book Stretch—a simple yet powerful stretch designed to enhance spinal mobility and swing mechanics.

Why Is Mobility So Important for Golfers?

Golf is a sport that demands fluid, controlled movements. If your muscles are tight, your body compensates in ways that can lead to:

  • Loss of power due to restricted movement

  • Reduced accuracy from poor mechanics

  • Increased risk of injury from repetitive strain

By integrating golf stretches like the Open Book Stretch into your warm-up or training routine, you can improve your rotation, stability, and overall performance on the course.

How to Perform the Open Book Stretch

The Open Book Stretch is designed to increase thoracic spine mobility, which is crucial for maintaining a smooth, controlled golf swing. Follow these steps to perform the stretch correctly:

  1. Start Position: Lie on your side with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep your arms extended in front of you, palms together.

  2. Movement: Slowly rotate your top arm open, moving toward the ground behind you while keeping your lower body stable.

  3. Hold & Breathe: Pause for a few seconds when you feel a stretch, then return to the starting position.

  4. Repetitions: Perform 10-12 reps per side as part of your golf fitness routine.

This stretch is especially beneficial for improving spinal rotation, flexibility, and overall golf posture.
