Backswing Stretch Rick Smith You are probably a lot like me. I have a tendency to get a little busy and I know all of you are busy too. But we obviously need to take some time before we play to get our swings loosened up. Here is one of my all-time favorite stretches that only takes a few minutes to do. Widen your stance a little wider than your shoulders. Bend forward from the hip joints. Relax your arms and let them hang down out in front of your body. Take your right hand and grab hold of your left wrist.
