Golf is a rotational sport. This means that for us to make an efficient golf swing, our bodies need to rotate. By rotating our body in our golf swing, we are able to utilize our body’s energy so that we can generate more club head speed that will translate to increased distance.

Even though it is our arms that are swinging our golf club, it is in fact our body’s rotation that is generating the power and the speed to swing our arms and the club. So I suppose it would be somewhat logical to think that if we just turned our bodies faster, then we would be able to generate more speed and hit the ball further, right? Well, even though that presumption is not entirely inaccurate, it is unfortunately not entirely that simple either.

For you to understand what I mean, I need to go into more depth and give you some basic understandings of how the human body moves biomechanically in the golf swing, so bear with me.

Chris Cooper, of Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy at the Athletic Club of Bend, will be attending the World Golf Fitness Summit in New Orleans this October. The 2016 WGFS brings together over 30 of the world’s thought leaders in athletic performance to discuss the latest research and practical application of this year’s theme, “The Importance of Multi-Sport Training for Golf.”
