How to improve swing fundamentals for greater speed and distance
Want to see what it takes to hit bombs? Averee Dovsek shares preparation and functional training at the range with the goal of improving speed.
Want to see what it takes to hit bombs? Join me, Averee Dovsek, for a day of professional-level preparation, incorporating functional training and time at the range with the goal of improving my fundamentals for speed.
Over the past year, I've shifted my focus from heavy lifting to golf-specific, rotational training. Why? I realized I was leaving speed on the table without even knowing it. If you're looking to add power and efficiency to your golf swing, this is your sign to switch up your routine. Ditch the traditional gym routine and train with a golfer's mindset to maximize your game.
The focus of my range session was to work on fundamentals of my swing. I started with an 8-iron warm-up, focusing on short, connected swings. Next, I took my 48-inch long drive shaft and paired it with a Srixon ZXi LS 9-degree head. Typically, I struggle with my lower body racing ahead as I initiate my downswing, consequently leaving my arms behind trying to catch-up. To fix this, I exaggerated my existing staggered stance with the goal of delaying hip rotation. This allows my arms to get back in front of and in sync with my body.
The result? A roasted drive that feels like a personal best in the making. Stay tuned for Part 2 to see how this training pays off.
