Mobility is only useful if it improves your ability to get into positions, reduces compensation (early extension, reverse spine), and supports speed training.
5 Movements (10 Minutes)

- Hip flexor stretch with glute engagement
- Thoracic open books
- Wall rotations
- Squat-to-stand breathing

- Rotation without low back pain
- Smoother backswing turn
- Better balance through finish
