Why 90% of Golfers Train Backwards... The 2 Elements That Actually Matter
Ever watch a golfer desperately trying to generate more power? You know the scene - they're twisting harder, gripping tighter, and swinging faster. Yet the ball barely goes any further. Here's why: they're focusing on all the wrong things.
The truth about power in golf isn't what you see on Instagram. It's not about rotating harder or copying what tour pros do in their workouts. It's about two fundamental elements that most golfers completely misunderstand.
First, let's talk about ground force. Think about throwing a punch while floating in a pool versus standing on solid ground. Which would be more powerful? Obviously, the one where you can push against something solid. Golf is no different. The power in your swing starts from the ground up, not from your arms down.
But here's where it gets interesting: most golfers try to generate power by spinning their upper body faster. They're literally working against physics. Real power comes from proper ground force production - something that requires specific training and understanding.
The second element? Core stability. Notice I didn't say core rotation. The difference is crucial. Your core's primary job isn't to twist - it's to resist twisting. Think about it: when you're driving a car, what provides more control - a solid suspension system or one that's loose and wobbly?
Here's what most golfers get wrong:
- They focus on rotation speed instead of ground force
- They work on core twisting instead of core stability
- They copy complex exercises without building foundations
- They chase distance through arm speed, not leg power
The reality is, the longest hitters in golf aren't the ones with the fastest upper body rotation. They're the ones who can effectively transfer force from the ground through their body to the club. It's a chain of power that starts with your feet and ends with the clubhead.
But here's the thing - I can't give away all the secrets in one blog post. What I can tell you is that understanding these two elements is just the beginning. There's a whole system of training that builds upon these foundations to create real, lasting power in your golf swing.
