Golfers are on the hunt for longer drives and golf specific exercise is your ticket on the fast track! Longer drives require muscular power and higher clubhead speed. This can ONLY be accomplished by strengthening your golf swing muscles specific to the movements of your swing.
Too many times I see golfers in the gym doing “general” exercises on machines and complaining they have seen improvement in their driving distance.
I’m not surprised!
Machines are “controlled” and usually isolate ONE muscle group at a time.
The golf swing is dynamic, free-flowing, and usines many muscles in a specific sequence of motion.
With that being said, wouldn’t you train your body as specific to your golf swing as possible? Wouldn’t you use resistance like exercise tubing, dumbbells, and medicine balls to accomplish this? I sure would!
Golf specific exercises are also rotational in nature just like your golf swing. They are also on your feet like the golf swing. Many of these exercises can even be done in your golf posture.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea!
