{ For The Love oF LeArNING } Med ball side toss Joey Hidock The med ball side toss is an excellent exercise for developing rotational power. Start with the ball at your back hip. Step and turn toward your target, toss the ball at the end of the turn. Finish with your hips facing the target. Force is created from the hips. Think more about rotating your hips as fast as you can, not so much about throwing the ball. Keep your core tight and finish with weight on your front leg. Hidock recommends doing six sets of six reps of the exercise, resting 90 seconds between each set. Uneven lies BoB intrieri Golf courses have many slopes and hills, and as such, players must be prepared to adjust when their shot lands on an incline. Learn to make impact on the ball with a firm and flat leading wrist and some forward lean to the shaft through impact. Match your shoulders to the grade level of the incline you're shooting from. Set your weight into the slope, widening your stance as needed. Swing with the contour of the ground extending to the target line. Alignment downhill: Ball will go right. Aim a little left and ball flight will be lower and roll more. Uphill: Ball will go left. Aim a little right and ball flight will be higher and roll less. Use this basic approach and Intrieri says your impact and direction will improve. 36 FEBRUARY 2018
