Use A Golf Training Club To Quickly Improve Golf Swing Speed
Using a golf training club is one of the most effective ways to
increase golf swing speed and power.
You can't get anymore golf
-specific than using a golf training club.
There are many golf training clubs on the market and new ones
coming out every year; but the one I'm talking about is a weighted
golf training club. When you can literally mimic your athletic
movement with resistance, you stand the make the biggest
improvement.and quickly.
The goal of most strength coaches and trainers is to come up
with exercises that closely resemble that particular athletic
movement, but with some for of resistance. It could be handweights
(dumbbells), medicine balls, tubing, or even a stability ball.
The direct impact on a golfers swing using a golf training club
is an almost immediate increase in driving distance. This is
because you are training your golf muscles during the movement,
through the same (or even bigger) range of motion, with many
repetitions.
A secondary benefit of using a golf training club that's
weighted is promoting an increase in backswing and follow through
range of motion. This equates in more power at impact. Golfers are
always trying to find ways to improve golf flexibility and power;
and this is one way to do it.
Using a golf training club won't be the cure to all your
physical ailments and limitations, but will give you a head start
on swinging with higher clubhead speed.
Just think about it! Swinging a golf training club won't improve
hamstring flexibility, nor will it strengthen your lower back.
There are many specific areas of the body that don't get worked
when swinging a golf training club.
This is where you would do specific golf exercises, stretches
and drills to isolate those weak areas to greatly improve your
overall golf performance and prevent future injuries.
Another benefit of a golf training club that's weighted is a
quick warm up before you hit balls at the range or even play.
Swinging it 20-30 times will quickly get your golf muscles prepared
to hit balls more effectively.
Just beware! When you swing it before practicing or playing,
you've got to swing your regular clubs, and hit balls with them, to
make sure your sequence of motion is correct, before you hit the
course.
As you can see, there are many benefits of using a golf training
club; so go out and get one. They are a great training aid as part
of your 'off-season' training program.
