Speed Training for Golf

Numerous factors influence CHS, including the physical capacity of the golfer. As such, many golfers are employing S&C coaches as part of a team-based approach to maximise performance. Analyses of golf performance statistics are beginning to highlight the potential value of increased driving distance. Mechanical determinants of performance during movements such as jumping, throwing, or striking are commonly explained from either an impulse-momentum or work-energy perspective. Despite differences in how movement performance is defined, each of these theorems present similar implications in terms of the mechanical determinants of CHS. While a golfer’s interaction with the ground is heavily influenced by their swing mechanics and technical prowess, golfers that can produce high forces with the lower body during the timeframe of the golf swing may be better equipped to generate large ground reaction forces in a shorter timeframe than a less powerful golfer.
