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 cant 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 Im talking about is a weighted golf training club. When you can literally

mimic your athletic movement with resistance, you stand the make the biggest

improvementand 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 thats 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 wont 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 wont improve hamstring flexibility, nor

will it strengthen your lower back. There are many specific areas of the body that dont

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 thats 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, youve 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.
