Another key, you don’t see Drake trying to force his back heel to rotate off the ground.
This kills power in the golf swing. It’s something I see way too many people do bc they think that’s how it’s supposed to look.
But if you look at tour players at impact, their back foot hasn’t rotated at all. And some players even still have their back heel on the ground.
Golfers:
Med Ball Throws.
This is a great exercise to teach you how the feet are suppose to work as well as prime your system for speed.
Not may exercises translate to the course better than this one.
The key it to get a med ball that is light enough you are able to drive from the ground and not just use your arms.
You should feel all of the power come from your feet up.
Notice my left leg is driving back, that is the ground force that will keep you from early extending.
A golfers training program needs to cover the entire spectrum.
We need some general exercises that allow us to build strength (Heavy bilateral exercises). We need some specific exercises that allow us to build speed (Speed Swings). Finally we need exercises that fall in the middle of the spectrum (Unilateral and Multi-Planer exercises)
Blend all of this together and you have a complete training program
This is why waterbags are an excellent tool for developing the fascial system. The unpredictability of the water moving around adds a ton of variety in every single rep.
📖excerpt from “fascia training in application”
The warm up is a great place to add 3D training into your program to help develop your fascial system.
Here are a few exercises you can add to your warm up for your next training session or round of golf.
Most people train their core with light weights and high reps. If that's all you're doing, you're never building real core strength.
Just like every other muscle group, your core needs to be loaded heavy.
KB Dead Twists are one of my favorite ways to do it.
From a seated position, pick the kettlebell up from one side and place it on the other. Let it come to a complete stop on the floor with each rep before lifting it again. Don't use momentum or bounce it off the ground.
Train your core to produce force, not just survive long sets.
3 exercises to build upper body power + rotational speed for faster clubhead speeds. 💥⛳️
For each exercise:
• 2–4 sets
• 3–5 reps/side
• Every rep = max intent
• Perform them early in your workout while you’re fresh to maximize power output.
Train fast. Swing fast. Hit it farther. 💪🏌️
4) Kayaks
Start with feet a little wider than shoulder width and club on your back
Rotate like you are rowing a kayak forward for 10 reps, then switch and rotate backwards for 10 reps
3) Overhead Side Bends
Start with feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and arms straight above your head.
Laterally bend as far as you can each way.
10 reps on each side.
2) Chops with Pivot
Start with your left leg forward and the club rotated to your left side
Step forward with your right leg and lift the club up and across your body.
Rotate back and forth between those 2 positions for 10 reps then switch sides
