Standing at the driving range for hours trying to swing harder and faster, will likely do more harm than good. To get your ball further down the fairway, avoid injury and increase your clubhead speed by up to 24%, you’ll need to strengthen your shoulders. Matt Scott shows in the video below how you can do just that.

The most common golf injuries are over-use injuries. One of the most common being a rotator-cuff injury. This is when your soft tissue becomes strained, bruised or torn from overuse without the proper conditioning and strengthening. If you have any pain or injuries, remember not to do any strength exercises until you’ve consulted a healthcare practitioner.

When you swing your club, your humerus (upper arm bone) rotates in your shoulder to allow you to swing. The four muscles that allow this movement make up the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff has two main jobs. The first is to keep the arm bone centered in the shoulder joint and the second, allows your arm to move in different directions.

Rotator-cuff exercises shouldn’t be done
more than 3 days a week and preferably not on consecutive days. You can
incorporate them with your strength training workout.
Make sure your rotator cuff and other important muscles aren’t neglected. With the right strength training program, you can avoid injury and get the most out of your game. Let’s check your progress with an assessment before and after 8 weeks of consistent strength training 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.
