DES PLAINES, Ill. – When asked his opinion about the mechanics of a good golf swing, Arnold Palmer often boils it down to this simple and sage advice, “Swing your swing.” Many golfers who have physical limitations understand this. They learn to adapt to and develop a swing around those limitations. 2016 Masters Champion Danny Willett understands this better than most. A long-term injury that restricts his hip rotation forced him to make modifications to his swing to improve his takeaway, consistency and power.
The MISIG, the Most Important Stretch in Golf, is a complete golf performance program that provides three key components for building and maintaining a strong, injury-free golf swing: a stretching program, swing training program and exercise program.
The MISIG is a stretching device that helps builds muscle memory to match your body type and physical capabilities. The MISIG helps you develop the proper takeaway by keeping the elbow locked through extension and your wrists hinging properly. This provides increased range of motion, more degrees in the backswing, and faster club head speed for a more powerful swing.
Danny Willett learned to compensate for his limited hip rotation with a huge shoulder turn and strong wrist hinge. One of the benefits of the MISIG is learning to fully hinge and set your wrists properly. The MISIG helps to generate a full rotation of the shoulders at the top of the backswing enabling you to turn your back to the target. This is critical for establishing the proper weight transfer and transition at the top of your backswing for improved consistency and shot making.
“Improving your range of motion is critical to developing a better golf swing,” said Bernie Fay, inventor of the MISIG. “Simply slide the handle up the bar and you will feel the tremendous stretching action of the shoulders, back and hips. The MISIG helps to keep muscles and tendons loose decreasing the chance of injury.”
Stretch. Swing. Exercise. Repeat. Simply make the MISIG a part of your daily training or warm-up routine by sliding the handle five to six times up the bar per set. Golfers will quickly develop stronger golf muscles and avoid injuries due to increased flexibility, loosened tendons and muscles, and improved extension. Along with physical improvements, players will also gain a better understanding of the mechanics of the swing and be able to match it to their physical capabilities.
The MISIG was launched at the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show January 26-29 in Orlando, Fla., and was featured on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive by Lauren Thompson as her favorite “new product” of the show.
The MISIG can be purchased online at www.feelthestretch.com. It comes with three different length bands for customized tension training – yellow, blue and red – and retails for $79.99. Along with PGA professionals and instructors, the MISIG is a great tool for fitness trainers, physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists.
