- MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR POSTURE TO ACHIEVE GREATER FLEXIBILITY - (With help from the Posture Fit Bar) In attempting to perform a stretch, many people will ‘Cheat’ by Compensating and getting out of Proper Alignment. In today’s video, I’m demonstrating a typical example of this, where I show when people try to stretch their hamstrings, they’ll often either a). Bend their knees to get down […]
PROP YOURSELF UP TO PREVENT SLOUCHING - (Our Bodies will always Mold itself into whatever it’s doing over long periods of time!) How to stop posture issues while sitting It’s no secret by now that Sitting Down too much is a major reason why we have so many health and posture problems in our culture today. No Doubt, the Sedentary Life Style […]
SOMETIMES LESS BACKSWING IS BETTER THAN MORE - What is the best amount of Golf Backswing? In my experience, a very high percentage of amateurs have ‘Too Many’ Moving Parts going on in their golf backswings, and Over Swinging is certainly one of those excessive moving parts. Usually golfers over swing for Two Reasons: 1) Because they’re trying to hit the ball […]

YOU’RE ONLY AS YOUNG AS YOUR SPINE – ROLLER COASTERS - Rigidity in one’s body is a huge detriment to a fundamental golf swing, not to mention most all other forms of sports and movement. I believe strongly as the Yogi’s say, ‘You’re only as Young as your Spine’. Keeping your spine healthy will go a long way to a healthy and fit life! Over a […]
Impact Drills for the Impact Bag - Try this Impact Drill with the Impact Bag When it comes right down to it, a golfers Golf Swing PLUS ALL golf instruction is geared to achieve One thing: Get the club head squarely on the ball at Impact with the maximum amount of force going into the ball. This impact drill will help […]

STRENGTHEN YOUR GLUTES AND LEGS WITH SQUATS - Sitting down too much weakens our bodies – ESPECIALLY OUR GLUTES AND LEGS! Because the Golf swing demands Upper Body Flexibility and Strengthening in the Lower Body, a person who has weak Glutes is generally going to have a hard time achieving lower body stability and be forced to rely on their arms and hands […]

A Drill to Blend Weight Shift and Torso Rotation – TURN OVER THE CHAIR DRILL - Creating a better golf swing has many different facets and there are thousands of aspects that can be looked at; but in short, I believe that THE TWO major factors are Weight Transfer and Rotation. Along these lines, there are legions of different ways to make a back swing, but the majority of good players […]
STRENGTHEN YOUR BACK & STRETCH YOUR PECS WITH THE SKYDIVER POSE - One of my common themes is that due to our Forward Bending Culture that has us Bent over at desks, cars, and even golf stances, our bodies get out of ‘True’ as a carpenter would say. Remember: YOUR BODY WILL MOLD ITSELF INTO WHATEVER ACTIVITY IT’S DOING OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME. When you see […]
LEARN TO CLEAR YOUR LEFT SIDE WITH THIS SIMPLE DRILL - Very seldom do I see a high handicapper who’s in a good Impact Position, and very seldom do I ever see a good player who’s in a bad Impact Position…..Hmmm? The majority of golf instruction seems to be focused on getting into a good backswing position – so that the golfer will automatically be able […]
A GREAT CARDIO EXERCISE WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME - Our bodies were designed for One Reason: TO MOVE! Yet our sedentary lifestyle of sitting down so much is robbing us of that one crucial activity. The Good News is that Research has proven that MODERATE and Consistent Exercise is far superior to exercises that ‘punish’ the body over ‘Long’ periods of time. If you’re […]- CURE BEING TOO QUICK WITH THE – STOP AT THE TOP DRILL - Without question, there is nothing more important in the golf swing than BALANCE – RHYTHM – and (especially) TIMING! As I mention in today’s video, you can have the greatest Swing Mechanics in the world, but if your Timing is off, it won’t do you much good. And, the reverse is true: i.e., you can […]
GET STRAIGHT WHILE YOU STRETCH & STRENGTHEN - Probably THE most common mistake I see when people stretch and lift weights is that they’re usually out of proper form and posture, which often leads to not properly stretching or strengthening the muscles that the exercise intended. Not only are they ‘perfecting their faults’ and developing poor posture but being ‘out of true’ can […]
A GREAT HIP TEST AND STRETCH FOR YOUR HIPS AND QUADS - Without question, all sports (And Golf IS an Athletic Motion) relies on Lower Body Function, and THE most important part of the Lower Body are the Hips and Legs. PELVIC STABILITY, and I’m referring to how well the Hips and Legs Stabilize as well as Rotate, is Absolutely Crucial in the performance of the Golf […]- A SIMPLE PUTTING DRILL TO: MAKE THE PUTTER A ‘PART’ OF YOUR BODY – AND NOT ‘APART’ FROM YOUR BODY - I think a lot of golfers put too much emphasis on trying to manipulate the golf club instead of relying on the Rhythm of the Shoulders to have the golf club actually be an EXTENSION of their bodies. Obviously, there’ll be times when you need to hit a certain type of shot, where you’ll need […]
SOME VARIATION FOR BICEP STRETCHES TO COUNTER THE SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE - By now, you’ve probably realized that there’s an ongoing theme in my Videos and Newsletters that deal with the “Modern – Sitting Down Forward Bending Lifestyle” that we’re all victims of (i.e, if you drive cars, sit at desks and sofas, and even bend over in Golf Stances for decades – on and on). The […]
‘SLIGHTLY’ PRESS INTO YOUR RIGHT FOOT TO START YOUR DOWNSWING - Everybody always asks “What starts the Downswing?” And WITHOUT QUESTION, everybody answers “The Lower Body”…Period! Some great players feel the Left Hip Shifting and Turning, others feel like their pushing off of their right foot, ad infinitum. One thing for sure that our force pressure plates prove that there’s a slight ‘Spike’ of pressure going […]
GOLF INSTRUCTORS WANT THEIR STUDENTS TO HAVE GOOD POSTURE - GOLF INSTRUCTORS WANT THEIR STUDENTS TO HAVE GOOD POSTURE (But what if the golfer has poor posture to begin with?) Although golf instruction has come a long, long way, the fact remains that handicaps have rarely (if at all) have come down over the last 40 years – despite the fact that Golf […]
A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE STRETCH FOR THE RHOMBOIDS - Rhomboid Stretch – For better extension and coil. One thing I learned years ago was the body is ONE BIG WORKING UNIT, where everything is linked together. For example, our Hips control our Shoulders – and our Shoulders control our Arms, etc. Often times when my students come to me to for a specific musculoskeletal […]
ELIMINATE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT IN YOUR GOLF SWING - No doubt in my mind, the average amateur has too much excessive movement throughout their swings. This can manifest by ‘herky-jerky’ motions – swaying – lifting – and, especially having the arms get OUT OF SYNC with the lower body. One of the most – if not THE most – popular drills I give my […]
TEST YOUR HAMSTRINGS - Maintaining flexibility in your hamstrings is crucial for maintaining longevity in playing golf, simply because having a stable lower body and flexible hip rotation is fundamental for a fundamental golf swing. Although it may not seem like it, golf – like all sports is a LOWER BODY GAME in which the lower body dictates to […]
HOW TO DEVELOP ‘F-E-E-L’ IN YOUR PUTTING STROKE BEFORE YOUR ROUND BEGINS - Developing Feel is crucial for Putting (not to mention your overall golf swing for that matter!) As a young man, I walked onto the putting green at Wilshire CC in Los Angeles to practice my putting. I immediately walked up to a hole and dropped a few balls around 5 feet from the cup and […]
WHAT IS JOINT CENTRATION? - THIS CAR HAS A DAMAGED WHEEL AND TIRE WOULD ‘JUST ‘FIXING THE WHEEL GET THE CAR BACK ‘IN SHAPE’? Let’s Define Centration Back in my early twenties, I had a professional golf career cut short due to TWO Knee surgeries and TWO MAJOR wrist surgeries; after which my golf swing was never quite the same. […]
DEVELOP FEEL AND PERCEPTION WITH THE ONE HANDED DRILL - Putting Drill to Improve Your Feel and Perception One of the most common mistakes people make in putting is putting ‘To the Ball’ and not ‘Through’ to the target. And, the most common reason people do that is Tension. Getting too tense will almost certainly retard your stroke and take away your rhythm. Although there […]
GET TENSION OUT OF YOUR SHOULDERS - GET TENSION OUT OF YOUR SHOULDERS WITH SHOULDER CIRCUMDUCTION Tension comes in several fashions: Mental, Emotional, Physical – and Nutritional are but a few ways. Regarding physical stress, Sitting Down is probably the most common way that stress develops in our bodies, and especially in our Shoulders. When we sit down and bend over, the […]
SINGLE & DOUBLE LEG PELVIC TILTS - SINGLE & DOUBLE LEG PELVIC TILTS (a Short and Simple Way to Stretch your Lower Back) One thing is for certain: the Sitting Down Forward Bending Culture that we live in, tightens up your hips and lower back muscles something fierce! Tight hips and tight lower back muscles are usually the cause of most back […]
Introduction to Flexible Solutions to Inflexible Swing Faults - This is the introduction segment to Roger Fredericks Secrets – Flexible Solutions to Inflexible Swing Fault Continuing Education Series DVD and Digital Version. Roger explains that most golf swing faults aren’t necessarily “habits” but rather symptoms of anatomical function.
GET IN BALANCE IN YOUR PUTTING STANCE TO GET TOP SPIN - Well Balanced Putting Stance Although there are a lot of ways to stand for Putting, one thing is for sure – we want to get Top Spin on the ball so that it rolls true and won’t be as susceptible to the variances in the grass. Hitting down on it will certainly make the ball […]
IS YOUR BACKSWING GETTING SHORTER AS YOU AGE? - If you’re like most people, you’ve probably noticed that as you’ve gotten older (and played deeper onto the Back Nine of Life), your backswing and drives have both gotten shorter. One way to see if your lack of flexibility is causing this, is to check out your lat muscles. If your lats and pecs are […]
A GREAT DRILL TO GET YOUR SHOULDERS ON PLANE - If you’re like most people, who spend their life sitting behind a desk, in a car, or in front of the TV, you probably have tight pecs and shoulder – which in turn, create forward head posture. Having a tight and restricted upper torso (accompanied with forward head posture) makes it harder to open up […]- The RIGHT ARM ONLY DRILL - Learn How to Clear Your Left Side and Develop More Speed and Power with the RIGHT ARM ONLY DRILL Take the ball away and just about everyone makes a fairly smooth, natural swing. However, when you put that little white ball down, it’s often a different story! (ie. ‘Same Face – different Swing 🙂 Every […]
Your Grip Could be Holding You Back and Costing You Distance - Although there are a lot of ways to grip the club, one thing is certain: You must have the club held SECURELY in your hands! After all, your hands are the only direct communication you have with the club. Whether you have an interlock, overlap, or 10 finger grip, the club must be held securely […]
A Great Way to Visualize Your Shot and Stay Behind it! - Moving ‘in front’ of the ball on a Driver is a sure way to reduce distance – and consistency! Because the ball is teed up, you need to make sure that you’re coming in from behind it; which will automatically allow you to hit up on it. Remember; The Formula for distance is Mass X […]
Watch This Video And Test Your Shoulder Turn - TAKE THIS TEST AND SEE HOW FAR YOU CAN ACTUALLY TURN YOUR SHOULDERS. (Can you get your shoulders ‘In Line with your extended leg? If not, don’t try to make THE BIG TURN!) I’ve been saying for years, that ‘just because you get older, doesn’t mean you have to lose your flexibility’ – at least to the to […]
A SIMPLE WAY TO BALANCE THE BODY BEFORE A ROUND OF GOLF - Since over 90+% of our population is right handed, the majority of golfers have stronger and tighter right sides, thus weaker left sides. Over time, these Imbalances become quite noticeable, and with the majority of right handed golfers, you’ll see a lower and more forward right shoulder. Being out of balance wreaks havoc on your […]
THE POWER SWING DRILL FOR IMPROVED ROTATION AND SPEED! - One of the most common swing faults is hitting from the top, or casting, instead of delaying the release of the club into the shot. Releasing the club too early slows down the body, which in turn slows down club head speed, not to mention robs the golfer of power and consistency. THE # 1 […]
KEEPING EVERYTHING IN ONE PIECE THROUGHOUT YOUR SWING - By now, you’re familiar with the term One Piece, especially in the Takeaway; and I can assure you that I’m totally on board. I look at ‘One Piece’ not only as the Arms and Club going back together, but also the Shoulders, and Weight Shift. I like EVERYTHING going back together! I believe that the […]
GET UP AND DOWN WITH THE PUTTING CHIP - Years ago, I was blessed to have known and taken lessons from Paul Runyan aka, ‘Little Poison’ who was arguably the greatest master of Chipping and Pitching the Game of Golf has ever known! One summer in my college days, I spent two weeks with Paul up at Sahalee CC in Washington State, and not […]
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR WORKOUTS BETWEEN WORKOUTS - Working out in our current culture is like taking 3 steps forward, then 2 steps back. By that I mean that unlike our ancestors who basically moved and stayed in motion all day while they hunted and gathered, we spend the majority of our time Sitting down at our desks and computers, in our cars, […]
Relax and Open Your Hips with: THE SUPINE BOUND ANGLE POSE - The hips are the engine of the body, not only for our posture and anatomical function, but also in our golf swings. Our research has proven that Pelvic Rotation is mandatory for a functional golf swing, and to develop speed and power. Due to the Sitting Down Forward Bending Culture we live in, the overwhelming […]
VARY YOUR ROTATION FOR VARIOUS WEDGE SHOTS - As I’m sure you know by now, approximately 70% of your score in a round of golf occurs within 70 yards of the green. Yet, the overwhelming majority of amateurs spend very little of their time practicing their Chipping, Putting, and Wedge play. To make matters worse, seldom do I see many amateurs perform a […]
WHOLE BODY STRETCHES AND EXERCISES ARE THE WAY TO GO!! - Remember, the old children’s nursery rhyme, “The Ankle Bone’s connected to the Shin Bone –The Shin Bone’s connected to the Knee Bone…” The muscles of the human body are just like your car. IE., They’re like tile on a roof and all run and work together. Getting the body back into its natural 4 socket […]
HOW TO READ GRAIN AND GREENS - Reading Grain and Greens is truly an art form, and I’ve noticed that most amateurs don’t know how to read greens properly. If you’ve watched much tournament golf on TV, you’ve probably noticed how meticulous the pros are when they read their putts. Not only will they walk around the hole from different angles, but […]
The Dark Side of Posture – The Chair - Roger Fredericks, Founder of The Posture System demonstrates with Joe Theismann, one of the main reasons why so many people are affected by Poor Posture.
THE PUTTING GRIP - This post is only available to members.
Longer Drives – Oblique Abdominals - This exercise is great for strengthening your Oblique Abdominals, the muscle responsible for side bend and powerful long drives. Be sure to leave a comment for Roger below!
Finish Your Finish - This drill is a great reminder to complete the follow through. So often, amateurs swing ‘To the Ball’ and not ‘Through the Ball’. Being aware that you’re going to swing all the way to the finish, will certainly increase your energy and power through the shot. Be sure to leave a comment for Roger below!
Lead with Your Left Knee - The golf swing is a chain reaction of body parts moving in sequence. Although there are a LOT of swing tips on how to start the downswing, many tour players have told me that they feel the left knee is what leads. Whether it’s the left hip, kicking of the right side, etc., the left […]
Left Leg Pivot Drill - Seldom do I ever see high handicappers get to their front leg properly in their forward swing (For right-handers, it would be the left leg). The Left Leg Pivot Drill will teach you what it feels like to get on your front leg which will help your weight shift and rotation. Be sure to leave […]
Plank Rod and Cobra - Generally speaking, I Love exercises that involve using your own body weight while at the same time, increases your flexibility. Increasing strength and flexibility at the same time is a good combination! Along these same lines, I also love whole body exercises that work both halves of the body.In today’s video, I’ll show you 3 […]
Understanding Braking Action - Much like a discus thrower, the body actually breaks right before impact. Understanding this and applying this concept can lead to a lot more power. In this video, I’m showing you a drill that will help you get the feel of a solid move into the ball with your body; or as I like to […]
Static Extension Shoulder Presses - THE BODY IS ‘ONE WORKING UNIT’ where everything is connected, and related. For example, if your shoulders are rounded and out of position, your hips will almost certainly be out of position. If you have problems with your Left Knee or Left Hip, there’ll be a real good chance that your right hip and shoulder […]- Putting Perspective - The old axiom, ‘DRIVE FOR SHOW – PUTT FOR DOUGH’ is SO true! Golf obviously comes down to one simple goal; GET THE BALL INTO THE HOLE IN AS FEW A NUMBER OF STROKES AS POSSIBLE!! A 270 yard drive,and a beautiful iron onto the green is wasted if you end up missing the putt, […]
Slant Board Arm Presses - This simple pose is something I do nearly every day – especially when my body gets out of posture. A Flexible Lower Body and a strong back is a good combination! Be sure to leave a comment for Roger below!
Neck Stretches - Do You Spend A Lot Of Time With Your Head Looking Down? In this video I’m showing you a simple little routine that will help you get the kinks out of your neck from the stain ‘Looking Down’ puts on it. No doubt, the main reason for this is because of our Sitting Down ’Sedentary Lifestyle’ which […]
Whoosh Drill to Clear Left Side - This drill will definitely help release tension and allow your body to shift and rotate freely through the ball. In other words, you’ll be taking a ‘Swing at Tension’. I saw Nick Price do this drill ceaselessly when he was dominating the Tour in the early 1990’s. By taking one arm and holding the club […]
Rotation Stretches - Here’s a few stretches I demonstrate with Dave and Greg for your shoulder turn. You can also do some of these things while sitting down!
Standing Forward Bend - This is an outstanding exercise, with the Postursizer, to not only develop flexibility your hamstrings, but also to help expand your chest and get rid of those rounded shoulders.
Starting Down Into the Two Cheek Position - As far as I’m concerned, no matter what you’re trying to do in the golf swing, the ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR is to get that club on the ball squarely and with power and force; AND, after studying the golf swing all of my life, I’ve discovered that ALL good players arrive into impact into what […]
Extended Lateral Against Wall - This pose is excellent for developing function (mobility and stability) in your legs as well as creating bilateral hip activity on both sides of your torso. Like the Triangle, it increases range of motion in the muscles of your sides (lats and obliques), as well as developing strength in your legs, which will help create […]
Close Your Eyes to Find BALANCE - This is a great way to find out precisely where your balance is – not only in your set up but throughout your swing. Remember, EVERYTHING in your body and swing react to the center of gravity and balance points and by staying in balance, your swing will have much less hiccups. Imagine the tightrope […]
The Crocodile Twist For Upper Trunk Rotation - This is a great stretch for increasing your spinal rotation for a more effective shoulder turn.
Posture Military Presses - Military Presses strengthens the powerful Deltoid and Tricep Muscles of the shoulders. When performed on the Slant Board, Rotation is taken out between the hip, knee, and ankle. Be sure to leave a comment for Roger below!
Shoulder Replacement Drill - Control the shoulders and keep them on plane will also help you control your entire body. The shoulder turn is NOT just a turn – it’s also a side bend with a tilt. This drill is one of my personal favorites and I’m sure will do wonders for you, too! Be sure to leave a […]
Release Drill Split Hands - Although this drill is ridiculously simple, it works ridiculously well – in that you’ll begin to train your arms how they should work in the golf swing. Releasing the club is huge and is one thing that all Tour players Do – and most amateurs Don’t. Be sure to leave a comment for Roger below!
Centering Drill - By putting your feet close together and hitting some shots, you’ll be able to eliminate a lot of excessive movement in your golf swing. You’ll find that it’s also really easy to do! After getting used to your feet together, move your feet a little wider while retaining the feel of when they were close […]

Basic Takeaway Drill with Shaft - It’s very easy for golfers – pros and amateurs alike to go awry in the takeaway. Here’s a simple drill you can incorporate to ensure a smooth takeaway and weight transfer away from the ball. I’ve always felt that the Takeaway is one of the most important parts of the golf swing because if you […]
