Over the years, I have figured out some exercizes you can do at home, with hardly anything at all. All you need is 2 10 pound weights, and 2 20 pound weights..and maybe a bag of sand of two.. You can use just one weight at a time if you want to..doesn't really make a difference.

1.)Shoulders

There are three good exercizes I know of to help promote a powerful shoulder rotation. To do this first one, use the 10 pounds weights. Lay on your back, or sit down, grasp the weight in your hand, and lay it down to your side. Bring the weight straight up, until it is pointing towards the ceiling, and then slowly let it back down. Do this 10 times, and then switch arms. After time goes by, add more weight, and more repetitions.

Lay on your side, with the 10 pounds weights in your hand, arms relaxed on your sides. Bend your elbow about 45 degrees, and lift the weight up until it is pointing towars the ceiling. Then slowly pull it back down. You should really feel it in your shoulders by now.. Do that 10 times, and then switch sides. add more weight as time goes by.

The last one I know of, is to stand up, with the heavier weights in your hands. Let your hands be relaxed at your side. Bring the weights up about 30 degrees or so, forward of straight. Bring the weight up to shoulder level, hold for 3-5 seconds, and then slowly let it back down. Repeat on opposite side. Over time, hold the weights longer.

2.)Hips, Quads

The only exercize I swear by is this one: Lay on your side, with your legs out stretch. Bring your top leg up, until it is pointing towards the ceiling, stretch it as far as you can, in fact..hold for 3-5 seconds,and then slowly let it back down. Do that 10 times, and then switch sides. This one really strengthens your hip abductors. No weight required at all.

Grab 2 heavy weights, one in each hand, and stand up, with your arms relaxed at your side. Do a squat motion going down, but instead of moving back up, hold a sitting position for about 10 seconds, and then go back up. Do that 5 times at first..don't overdo this one! As your quads get stronger, you can start adding more time for the sit position, and more squats. I love this one!

You can also do standard squats, with your back agaist a wall too, if you want.

You can also try throwing some 50 pound sand bags on your shoulders, and doing squats.

3.)Wrists

I know some who think this is unnecessary..but I disagree, simply because the harder you can snap your wrists, the further the ball will travel. So I feel that strong wrists are a must.
Grab the heavier weight, sit down, with your armin fornt of you, palm facing up. bring just your wrist up, hold for a few seconds, and then let back down. I do this one 50 times per day..but just do it until you fell like it did something. That is usually about 10 repetitions. This is one that doesn't feel like much, but it can make a big difference.

I also like to do french curls with my weights as well..if you know what this is, then try doing 10 a day..but if you don't, Im sorry but I really don't know how to describe this one..try a search on google on "french curl exercize".

4.) Abs

Situps. Plain and simple. But instead of coming all the way up, stop where your shoulders just leave the ground, and hold that position for 5 seconds. Do 10 times. Theres also this thing called the Ablounge, that is fantastic for working abs..I wish I had one!

If your abs are already pretty strong, I got one for ya! Lay on a bed, with your upper section, starting at your wasit, hanging off the side. Your back wil be arched backwards. Keep your legs on the bed..does that ake sense at all? Anyway, try doing situps now..much harder huh? Only come up to where your body is aligned with your legs, and then come back down. Do this 10 times, if you can..if not, start off with 5, and work your way up.

If that becomes easy, then try doing it with weights in your hands.

The next step from there, is to try doing situps, hanging upside down!

5.)weighted clubs

I am a strong believer in the weighted clubs, such as the Power Hitter.(the one I use)If you get on of these, here is a few good exercize that works wonders for you..thefirst is the swing the club normally, but slower.(Take my word on this, don't swing it hard!)This helps to loosen up, and ingrain that tempo into you. After ou swing that about 20 times, you'll feel like Hercules holding your driver!

the second is you swing easy, but stand up through impact, and hold the followthrough extra long.

I also like to swing it with my feet close together. If you get thrown off balance, then your weight shift is wrong.

I personally do these exercizes three times a week, and I can definently say that I am more relaxed, and longer on the course. These exercizes help you to work all the muscles that are important t a strong swing. Hips, shoulders, and stomach. The weighted clubs kinda work everything else, and help you with tempo, timing, and weight shift.

Those are my exercize tips.
