Chip Strokes Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 it was mentioned earlier, but bears repeating: static stretching of cold muscles is a really bad idea. if you think of your muscles as rubber bands, imagine leaving a rubber band out in the cold overnight. now take it and stretch it out...it won't go far before it snaps. the same rubber band left in the sun will be much more pliable. the best thing you can do for your body is to stay loose so you don't have to get loose. i do 20-30 minutes of yoga every morning, regardless of what the day holds. as a result, i can get to the course and be at game speed after just a few swings. for those days when you're rushed for time and can't get on to the range before you tee off...you'd be much better served doing something to break a light sweat before heading to the tee box than you would doing any stretching. for those of you with back pain: 2-3 minutes of couch stretch on each side daily will have your back feeling 10x better than motrin or your chiropractor (and at the bargain basement price of free) kelly starett does a good job of explaining why and how here, but i'd be happy to explain more in-depth if anyone wants to shoot me a PM Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
