Golf fitness training and golf exercises can assist in increasing the distance of your tee shots. An integral component of tee shots especially those hit with your driver is clubhead speed. Clubhead speed is essentially the rate of speed at which the club impacts the golf ball. The higher rate of speed, the farther the golf ball will travel. So it only makes sense when hitting driver, clubhead speed becomes an integral component of the game.

Increasing clubhead speed basically hinges upon two factors; factor number one is your swing mechanics and secondly is your body. The more efficient you become with your swing mechanics, the greater amount of energy you will be able to translate into the club head. And the more powerful the muscles of your body become the larger amount of power you will be able to create. It is the integration of these two components that will allow you to increase the clubhead speed of your tee shots.

Golf fitness training assists with the second category of these components, your body. Keep in mind it is the muscles of your body executing the mechanics of the golf swing. And when it comes to clubhead speed, if the muscles of your body are more powerful, they will be able output higher levels of clubhead speed within the confines of the golf swing.

Power, which is defined as the ability of your muscles to output the greatest amount of force in a short amount of time can be improved with a specific type of golf fitness training. This type of exercises will improve the ability of your muscles to develop force in a short amount of time through the movement patterns of the golf swing.

In order to achieve this outcome we must utilize power training exercises placing your body in the anatomical positions of the swing, and ones which are rotational in terms of movement. This will develop the power component of your muscles specifically to the requirements of the golf swing.

Power training exercises for the golf swing will again focus on the core area of your body. Recall from last weeks article, the core is a reference to an anatomical area of the body where the majority of movement occurs in relation to the golf swing.

Remember golf fitness training and golf exercises can increase the distance of your tee shots. Keep in mind as it relates to the body three major components are prevalent in tee shots: flexibility, strength, and power. All three must be developed within the body for optimal success when hitting your driver.
