More Club Head Speed

Want More Club Head Speed? Strengthen Your Core!

Do you want more club head speed without changing your swing? Surprisingly the answer isn’t new clubs or speed training sessions, although those things certainly do help. What you might not know is your core plays a big part in it.

Ever noticed your swing losing steam on the back nine? Subsequently those last few holes feel more like survival mode than peak performance? Basically that’s your core waving the white flag.

Your Core: The Hidden Powerhouse of Your Swing

Your core is not about chiseled abs, it’s your body’s power center, the bridge between your legs and your arms, and the secret sauce behind every smooth, powerful swing.

And scientific research backs this up! Studies show golfers with strong cores have:
More club head speed
Better balance and stability
Less performance fatigue
Fewer injuries

I’ve been doing core exercises for as long as I can remember.  And they’ve been a game-changer!

In fact playing the last few holes with a tired body can really cost you shots and wastes a good score.  A solid core keeps me strong right to the finish—and it can do the same for you! Just a few minutes, a bit of space, and a commitment to out-driving your mates is all it takes.
