Each month Shannon Mantrop will have a new article on golf specific fitness and training...

The Fitness Components Required for Optimal Golf Biomechanics: STRENGTH

The golf swing can be described by the sequential summation of forces principle. This principle implies that in order to maximize club head speed the swing should begin with the larger more powerful segments (eg hips and trunk) and continue in a sequential manner to the smaller segments (eg upper arm and hands) (Hume et al., 2005). In order to optimize this sequence the body needs optimal mobility, stability, strength and power.

The current article will focus on strength and give guidelines to maximize your golf potential through resistance training.

The Weighted Club,
by Terry Carter


As you may or may not know, we are trying to create a large consistent circle when we swing the golf club. It is often said that we should keep our left arm straight in our backswing, and our right arm straight in our follow through. Although this sounds easy, it is not often accomplished.
