Down to the core

A strong core is crucial for you to achieve the ultimate synergy of movement when you swing. By adding consistent strength training for only 8 weeks, you can add up to 24% to your clubhead speed. Matt Scott shows in the video below, core exercises that you can do at home with a resistance band. If you’re new to strength training, use a thinner (easier) band.

Your abdominal muscles (your core) link your upper and lower body. This power-generating base maximizes speed, rotation and leverage when you swing your club. Your core is comprised of the abdominal, lumbar, glute and pelvic floor muscles – all needed for a powerful swing.

We want to make sure you’re playing your best golf and looking after your body at the same time. Let’s check your progress with an assessment before and after 8 weeks of consistent strength training and stretching to see if you can get your clubhead speed up by over 24%!

If you engage in these exercises, you agree that you do so at your own risk and assume all risk of injury to yourself.
