Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this week’s Golf Digest article.
If you want to get stronger, produce more force, and build a more resilient body for golf, check this one out.
One of the reasons I love isometrics is simple: you can create a ton of force without a ton of movement.
For golfers, I typically use them two ways:
Overcoming isometrics: Short, aggressive efforts — usually 5–10 seconds — where you push or pull against something that won’t move.
These are great for teaching someone to create force, and I’ll often pair them with a jump, throw, or other explosive movement to help turn that force into speed.
Yielding isometrics: Longer holds — typically 30–60 seconds — where the goal is to maintain position under load.
These are great for building strength and stability in positions a golfer may be weak, stiff, or simply not comfortable owning.
And that’s the bigger point:
Training isn’t always about adding more weight, reps, or exercises.
Sometimes we need to produce more force.
Sometimes we need to control it better.
Isometrics give us another tool to train both — without adding a ton of unnecessary fatigue.
Check out the full article Golf Digest and I’ve included a few of my favorite isometric exercises for golfers.
