Why it matters for golf
Pressing from standing forces the legs and trunk to brace while the arms produce force. That ground-to-hands connection is the same chain that delivers the club. It builds pushing power without leaving an athletic stance.
Coaching cues
- Root the feet before you press.
- Brace the trunk, then drive the ball away hard.
- Finish with full arm extension.
- Reset stance and posture each rep.
Common faults
- Leaning back to launch the ball.
- Pressing before the trunk is braced.
- Feet drifting between reps.
