Watch the difference in the practice swings and the shot. See the head dip & knee buckle? Have seen this from Lexi before. Can’t remember which major it was, but it was last season in the closing stages of the final round and tight lies. It’s a classic move from those who have anxiety with their pitching and are trying to help the ball in the air. I know it well. I had the chipping / pitching yips for a few years and was a complete mess. Head moving down & leaning back to the right shifts the low point of the club to an earlier spot. Club hits the ground too early. When you look at great pitchers they are usually shifting a little left, and slightly extending up after impact. Not dipping down and back. Imagine standing side on to the target and tossing to the landing spot with your trail arm. The dip down and knee buckle is completely at odds with how you would move. I am confident an expert short game coach could really help her with this. I reckon she is in the horrors mentally standing over these shots. No disrespect to Lexi, she’s obviously a great player. Yes, I’m just an armchair fan sitting on my couch 😎.

15 year old - 175mph ball speed This is one of the most impressive swings I’ve ever seen from a speed / biomechanics standpoint. Jacobbrossgolf IG

Grip a club in your lead hand. Observe how twisting your forearm changes the angle of the face. This is largely what controls where your ball flies. Small differences in this angle lead to huge changes in shot direction. This precision is not being trained in the gym with “golf exercises”. Poor control of this face angle is what leads to a whole host of swing issues. More so than physical limitations. For example, it is far more likely you come over the top in an effort to stop the ball going right because your face is wide open and you’ve seen the ball go right the last 5000 times than it is you lack hip or shoulder mobility. It would be beneficial for me as a trainer to say otherwise, but I just don’t believe it to be true. Use the gym to work on your physical capabilities. Improve your mobility, strength, and power. These are the things you are losing as you age. Leave the swing mechanics for your practice and golf lessons. If you try to “fix your swing in the gym” you will likely do a poor job of training your swing and your body.

I’ve had the pleasure of assisting Michael S. Kim with his training for the last 18 months or so. Mike has gotten much stronger and gained ~10lbs in this time frame. We’ve had 3 main areas of focus: 1️⃣ Increase size and strength of the fast twitch muscle fibers with pretty traditionial strength training methods 🏋️. Compound lifts, heavy 5 rep sets. 2️⃣ Practice swinging faster with a radar for feedback, both with TheStack and hitting balls with driver. How much of each adjusts based on the time of season 🏌️‍♂️. 3️⃣ Ensure nutrition supports the goal of muscle growth and recovery from golf & training. It is very common for tour players to underfuel and lose weight as the season goes on. They have a very high level of energy expenditure from all of the practice, play, and training, so need a lot of food 🍱. Mike is now much more physically capable of higher speeds than previous years. I expect and hope to see a nice little bump in speed as the season goes on. At this level, a 3-4mph gain in club head speed is enormous, and that is what we are targeting! This training speed of 121mph below will hopefully be 123-125mph in the coming weeks, allowing comfortable 118mph or so on the course in tournament play.

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫🏌️‍♂️ • Wind up as fast as you can • Slam the ball into the ground just outside your trail foot as hard as you can • Be aggressive! • Lighter & faster is better (~4lbs) • 5 reps before a break (~30sec) Can do lots of sets (~5)

The Best Glute Exercise 🔥 🍑 Workout at home with limited equipment? This is hard to beat for the glutes…and you want those to be strong! You can use a sofa, foot stool, etc. Focus on using your butt cheek to extend your hip, rather than extending your back. 10 each side

This is Charlie Reiter He’s a California Amateur Champ and I think trying to play pro. He works with Gankas. He can swing around 145mph and cruises around 130mph. I post a lot about how important I think the obliques, lead lat and shoulder are for speed. Good visual ⬇️

Maybe the best part about building up to 190mph ball speed is how easy 180-185 is now. This used to be very hard for me to hit when “going all out”. Main tip? More swings with a Radar for feedback. Experiment with feels. Video record swings. Get help analyzing. 122 / 183👇🏽

Had 4 or 5 swings over 125mph this morning without going too nuts. Goal is to get into the 190 ball speeds in practice consistently. That requires a minimum of 127mph club head speed. How is your speed training going?
