Two spots left for this 2 session class. Find out your specific amount of X-Factor (backswing separation) and X-Factor ”Stretch” (downswing separation) as well as your kinematic sequence using K-Motion 3D motion capture technology and then what to do about it to get more!
RSVP to ccooper@taipt.com.

1st class will be a custom assessment with our K-Vest and 2nd session will be focused the exercises and drills to improve backswing flexibility and downswing “ground up” coordination.

Power is strength with speed. If power is tested low then do you have a speed or strength problem?

Again- get assessed don’t guess! We offer multiple package options to get you more strength, speed and power.

talks about the importance of having an athletic background and against early specialization in golf as well as the important role of having a team of medical and fitness professionals to maximize improvement of his players and . He listens to his fitness professional and his medical professional Mark Wahl often to help make decisions on what to work on based on how his players are doing physically.

Do you have a team for maximum improvement? Consider adding a certified medical and/or fitness professional to your team.

Here is a progression to last post’s single arm pulling exercise.

Notice in this exercise the lower body continues NOT to move but the torso/trunk does creating rotational strength through the obliques as well as SEPARATION between upper and lower body- a key characteristic in creating an efficient golf swing.

Moving through some options to enhance your strength and power sources in the golf swing.

This single arm rowing exercise is to build “pull” strength that can be harnessed to assist power in the golf swing.

Keep lower body and navel still as you pull hand toward your arm pit while “crunching” abs. Slowly release and repeat. Find weight that is challenging and you can keep lower body still for 8-12 reps for 2-3 sets 2-3 days per week. Notice the “split stance” which is a more stable position than the regular “golf stance” width of your feet.

The goal is to make it look like you are only “exercising” your arm (even though it takes a lot of effort with your legs and abs to do so). This also builds resistance to rotation which is necessary to segmentally stabilize the spine in the golf swing.

Here is another “chop” option if you make it to the gym and have a cable bar. Again the goal is to maintain a “stable base” while moving the resistance with your arms and oblique abs down and across your body.

Here I’m in a golf posture or regular stance which is a higher level option for this exercise. A “split-stance” (staggered with one foot forward of the other) and/or “1/2 kneeling” (one knee down and the other foot up) stance would be more stable and be a better place to start to ensure the lower body doesn’t move as you chop.

Maintain a strong engagement of your abdominals pulling your navel toward your spine and find a weight that is challenging for 8-12 reps to do 2-3 sets a couple times per week to build up your chop strength. Do facing both directions to contribute to your golf power source.
