Side by side in the gym and side by side on leaderboard. Zalatoris and Spieth training together with ahead of their top 3 finishes last week.

One reason why so many young golfers are having early success on professional tours is that they have adopted the habits of elite golfers at a young age. Talent matters, but these young men and women aren’t succeeding on talent alone.

Developing speed and power in young golfers is much more than lifting weights. Having a TPI certified professional conduct a level 1 screen and power screen will reveal keys to movement and an understanding how the golfer is using the key components of the body to transfer power. For example, many female golfers need stability rather than flexibility. Working to become more flexible if not necessary is a waste of time and can lead to the development of swing faults and poor mechanics. Not knowing before you train a golfer if they are upper or lower dominate will be inefficient and not produce the desired results. Training golfers requires an in-depth knowledge of the kinematic sequence and how it relates to the mechanics of the golf swing. # performance18golftraining.
