Welcome back to the Fit For Golf Podcast. In this episode I am joined by Dr Sasho Mackenzie. Sasho is regarded by many as the world’s leading golf biomechanics researcher. He works as a consultant for many of the worlds top golf coaches and players. He also has an extensive background as a strength and conditioning coach and plays to a +2 hcp himself. The main topic of discussion was how wrist angles in the golf swing influence club head speed. We also touched on hand speed, should golfers spend time isolating grip strength in their training, and how Overload & Overspeed training with The Stack System can play a role in improving your swing mechanics and club head speed. Sasho was also the guest for episode 13 of this Podcast, and in both episodes he provided a wealth of information. I hope you enjoy.Just before we get started a quick reminder that FFG has it’s own app. It is currently being used by over 4500 golfers around the world, ranging all the way from PGA Tour winners, to high handicaps beginners, to juniors, and seniors. There are programs to suit everyone and the detailed video instruction makes it very simple to follow.

He is a superb athlete, clearly a world class golfer, and an extremely nice guy. During our hour long conversation Seamus is very open in detailing how he has approached golf improvement. While he is at a level that very few can relate to I think any keen golfer can learn from the lessons he shares. A quick reminder that Fit For Golf has its own App.It is currently being used by nearly 4000 golfers around the world, ranging all the way from PGA Tour winners, to high handicaps beginners, to juniors, and seniors. There are programs to suit everyone and the detailed video instruction makes it very simple to follow.

n this episode I am joined by Alex Ehlert. Alex has a PhD in Human Movement Sciences and is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science. I got to know Alex through social media. He has done a lot of research on the correlation between different physical strength, power, and mobility measures and club head speed, and posted many helpful graphics. He recently published a paper in the European Journal Of Sport Science titled: The Correlations Between Physical Correlations and Golf Club Head Speed. In this discussion we dug into what he found, and how he advises you approach working on your club head speed. Just before we get started, a quick reminder that Fit For Golf has its own App. It is currently being used by nearly 4000 golfers around the world, ranging all the way from PGA Tour winners, to high handicaps beginners, to juniors, and seniors. There are programs to suit everyone and the detailed video instruction makes it very simple to follow.
