Keys to Clubhead Speed: Part I - Rotational Power

Recently there has been a lot of talk regarding the ability for many of the pros to produce so much club head speed that their drives are farther than they have ever been.  Is there a secret?    Athletic abilities of the pros are incredible, but not necessarily out of reach for the average golfer.  When watching the swings on TV using the BizHub Swing Vision slow motion cameras, the wind up and un-winding of the body is evident.  There are numerous methodologies and swing thoughts on whether the hips “start” the downswing or if the arms “power down” or “pull through”.  But the common denominator of the entire swing is the ability to rotate using the explosive power of the core muscles such as the obliques and lats against a very stable and centered lower body.  Here is a move I use with my clients to help reinforce the feeling of what rotational power really is.

Cable Diagonal WoodChop “from the top”:

Stand sideways from a rope attachment in the high position on a cable pulley system.  If you are a right handed golfer, stand with your right side facing the rope.
Grab the ends of the rope with both hands and bend at the hips as if in address position.  Your angle of your shoulders should be at the same angle of your hips.
Your left shoulder should be under your chin.  Left (lead) arm stays straight as right (trail) arm remains bent with elbow facing downward toward floor.
Utilizing the left side of your trunk and trying to “ignore” your arms, feel the pulling of the rope down toward your left foot.  Your shoulders should swap positions and remain at the same angle they started without flattening out.

The weight should be heavy enough to be able to complete 10-15 repetitions.  Repeat on BOTH sides to achieve body balance and symmetry. 

Hint #1:  focus on pressing your feet into the ground and maintaining a strong stance without any lateral hip movement.

Hint #2:  Think of your ribcage initiating the movement and swiveling around your spine.
