As golf fitness has taken over on all professional tours. When most people think of golf fitness, they usually think of weight lifting or some kind of strength resistance training. The single most important golf fitness factor for your golf performance is flexibility.

 

What does the term golf strength really mean? Golf strength is used to describe the golf fitness level of an individual pertaining to swinging a golf club. This type of strength is different from conventional weight room strength. Just because someone is muscle-bound this does not automatically equate into good golf. You can see this during a televised celebrity tournament. The big bulky football players are not the players that are winning the golf tournaments. 
 

Flexibility, balance, stability, strength, endurance, and power are all required skills that are needed to perform an efficient golf swing. Your body is the support of your golf swing. You can imagine each as a beam in a foundation for a building. Some beams may bear more weight than others however, they all combine to come up with one of two outcomes, the building will stay up or the building will fall.
 

You are limiting your potential if you do not have the golf strength but do have flexibility, balance and the other factors. You can see it while walking up and down any practice facility. Golfers are struggling to make "the perfect move" because they are limited by their body and hard as they try they just can not make it happen. A weighted practice club can help you with your strength, flexibility, balance and stability and get you closer to performing the correct golf swing mechanics.

Golf instruction today has become so mechanical. Even to the point that some instructors teach how to golf swing as opposed to how to play golf. Many of the characteristics of the golf swing are dependent of each other. What does that mean? A new golfer wants a "quick fix" and thinks that since their buddy.s lesson was about ball position that it must be what will help them. This is just not true. Ball position is only one part of the equation as is balance, stability, flexibility, strength, and endurance.

To hit the 300 yard drive or your personal best, you must understand that proper golf strength levels and efficient golf swing mechanics. These two variables are dependent on each other. For example, perfect golf swing mechanics without strength or power can get you a straight but very short shot. In turn, with high strength levels and no swing mechanics, you may hit the golf ball a very long way but have no idea where it is going due to poor golf swing mechanics.

A weighted practice club can help address many of these issues at the same time. You will want to swing the weighted practice iron or driver at full speed as well as a very slow speed. The slower speed will help build strength as the faster swing will help increase flexibility.
