Cross-Grip Lead Arm Backswing Shoulder Stretch

Hold a golf club with a cross-handed grip keeping the lead (left) hand low on the shaft and the trail (right) hand high. Turn into your backswing and use the trail hand to actively press the lead arm up and across to stretch the posterior shoulder.

Key points

  • Take a cross grip on the golf club with the lead hand positioned below the trail hand
  • Rotate back into a golf backswing position while keeping the lead arm extended
  • Use the trail hand to push upward as high as possible to intensify the stretch across the rear deltoid and posterior shoulder capsule
  • Perform dynamically on both sides to balance shoulder mobility

Common mistakes

Bending the lead elbow or collapsing the arm across the chest without rotating the torso.
