The Secret to Your Swing Speed:
The Lat & Shoulder Connection
Most Golfers Focus on their arms for power, but true swing speed comes from the Latissimus Doris (Lats) and the shoulders.
The Problem: If your lats are “Locked”m they act like a break on your backswing. You can’t get the club back far enough, So you “ Muscle” the swing with your elbows and wrists (Hello, Golfers Elbow).
The Fix: I work to release the lats and the muscles around the shoulder blades. (scapula), This gives you a wider arc which leads to more distance without more effort.
Hydration of the Fascia: The Wet Sponge Analogy
Think of your muscles and fascia like a sponge. When a sponge is dried out, it’s brittle and breaks if you twist it. When it’s wet and hydrated, it’s pliable and can handle the twist of a golf swing.
The “Pre-Round” Vs. “Post-Round” Strategy
Performance Reset (Pre Round): Done a day to two before you play. I focus on mobility and opening the hips. The goal is to make sure your “Psoas Gait” is open so you can fins your full rotation on the first tee.
The Recovery Session (Post- Round): Done after your weekend tournament. Here, we focus on inflammation and decompression. I smith the screaming muscles (the lower back and forearms).
