Episode notes
Grip Strength's Limited Impact on Swing
- Increasing grip strength alone does not significantly boost club head speed.
- Grip strength mainly ensures you can hold the club, not how fast you swing it.
Effective Grip Strength Training
- Improve grip strength by engaging in well-rounded strength training involving exercises like deadlifts, rows, and wrist curls.
- Use specific grip trainers to enhance your grip, wrist, and forearm strength more directly.
Choose Squats for Max Load
- Select squat variations that allow maximum load to fully tax your leg muscles.
- Use back squats or front squats with maximal intent to recruit high-threshold motor units effectively.
