Ankle Mobility for Golf Swing
Ankle mobility for golf keeps the lead foot grounded through impact—dorsiflexion drills and bent-knee calf work reduce upstream knee and back compensation.
Ankle mobility for the golf swing lets the lead knee accept force through impact without heel lift or early hip rise—knee-to-wall dorsiflexion tests, calf stretches with bent knee, and ankle rocks belong in daily prep. Restricted ankles often push compensations up the chain into knee and back stress.
Golf shoes with excessive heel lift can mask or worsen limits.
Common questions
-
Does lead heel lift in the swing always mean bad ankle mobility?
Not always—technique and speed matter—but persistent early extension with heel lift deserves ankle screening and hip rotation checks together.
