Golf Workouts 

 

 Golf Swing Faults with

Physical Fixes

For decades, golfers have

always clung to the notion

that all undesirable golf

swing qualities are the result

of technical difficulties.

Over time, golfers,

 

 

instructors and fitness trainers have become more educated and sophisticated in understanding the requirements of the golf swing.

The end result is that there could be many physical reasons why a golfer is having trouble with their swing.

Here are a few swing faults that may also require a physical fix.

-a slice could be the result of tight chest and shoulder muscles or poor

mobility in the hips

-a hook could be the result of poor posture at address or poor core strength

-a lateral sway instead of a hip rotation could be the result of a poor hip

stability or lack of flexibility

 When evaluating your physical strengths and weaknesses, keep in mind

issues of strength, flexibility and stability. Then, break down the body into

those areas that most affect the golf swing like the hips, shoulders and mid

back. This way golf specific workouts will have a new meaning to you and your swing.

Think in terms of ‘faults and fixes’ or exercises that focus on ‘opportunities’

for improvement. These will give you the quickest improvement results and

carryover to your game.

 

How to Increase Your Drive Distance

How many golfers are looking to increase club head speed? Along with faster,

more fluid club head speed comes increased drive distance. The two

principles work hand in hand. Since this is the one quality almost every golfer

seeks to improve. Let’s look at how to make this happen.

Distance is directly related to the swing speed and the ball velocity the golfer

can generate off the face of the club.

A golfer’s swing speed is determined by:

1. Athletic ability

2. Quality of your swing movements (think biomechanics)

3. Strength

4. Equipment fitting. Proper specifications can be used to optimize swing

speed, quality of contact and shot trajectory.

Quality of movement plays one of the largest roles in creating a more

efficient and repeatable swing. One of our main goals with golf workouts is to "unlock" tight shoulders, hips, and low backs, so we can ultimately improve swing efficiency.

How do you currently compare to some of the world’s best golfers in drive

distance? Let’s take a look.
