Rotary Power Golf
Golf is a rotary sport. If you want to hit the ball a long distance, you need rotational power. If you want to hit the ball even farther, then you need to rotate your lower body, upper body, and arms in an optimum kinematic sequence. And if you want to squeeze the last bit of yardage out of your clubs, you need to develop optimum movement of your wrists.
Rotational power is the product of speed and strength applied to the optimal sequence and timing for the movement of lower body, upper body, arms, hands, and club. Knowing how to develop speed and strength matters. Not all speed training is equally effective; not all strength training is equally effective. Like swing kinematics, each individual will benefit from a personalized plan for speed training and strength training.
The TPI functional movement assessments to understand your range of motion are a great starting point for identifying individual limitations and getting started with some basic fitness techniques. We think in terms of movement patterns, muscle groups, and multi-joint motions that lie at the heart of an effective training plan to gain rotational power.
