Once you have built a solid foundation of strength, stability, and mobility in your golf muscles, it is time to convert those gains into explosive power. By combining strength with speed, golfers can achieve distance gains off the tee as well as in the fairway.
According to a recent study published in the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s (NSCA) journal, The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (Vol.18, No. 1, page 59-62), amateurs working out using a training program designed to combine speed and strength showed significant changes in both club head speed and driving distance between pre- and post-tests.
Researchers at the University of Luton, in Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom studied eleven golfers with a mean handicap of 5.5. After an eight-week study, the combined training group showed significant changes in both club head speed and driving distance between pre- and post-tests. Mean driving distance increased 4.3% for the combined training group, with mean club head speed increasing 1.5%.
