Sergio's Power Coil

For an average-size guy, Garcia can pound it out there with anyone on Tour and is one of the longest iron hitters in history. His trick? His shoulders [red line] rotate almost 140 degrees (most of us are lucky to get 90 degrees), and are turned 100 degrees more than his hips [green line]. That's serious coil. Sergio is incredibly flexibile, but he isn't Gumby. He cheats by kicking in his left knee, an easy move that frees your upper body so it can turn more against your hips. — M.S.
