Improve Your Golf Swing With Self Myofascial Release
Written by: Shannon Mantrop, BKIN, MKIN, CEP, CPGA Teaching Professional

Self myofascial release
We all accumulate tension in our muscles and in our joints from overuse, imbalanced movement, stress, poor posture and the aging process. An increased amount of tension can lead to decreased flexibility and joint range of motion, incorrect movement patterns and pain. The tissues effected by this tension must be worked and lengthened regularly and consistently to maintain youthful posture...

The Path Pro,
by Terry Carter


We have another great training aid that we use in the Academy called a Path Pro.. This handy device is the best aid made to stop the dreaded over the top move that creates that nasty slice that so many have a problem with. You simply place the yellow foam pad overtop of the ball and extend it down the target line behind the ball. The positioning of this foam pad will "scare you" into swinging from the inside and under the foam pad.. You will swing from the inside due to the "fear factor" that this creates.

"I have seen and used pretty much every aid ever made, and this is the best to fix swing path"...

You can order this online or pick one at the dome while they last.

ALSO: Send this to anyone you think could benefit and call us if you need help.

Good luck and happy golfing!
