The Golf Gym Power Swing Trainer: A Good Example Of Swing Trainer Design
If you want to develop a more consistent swing and increase your driving distance you need to improve the strength in the muscles and flexibility in the joints used during the complex rotational movements that make up your golf swing. This will not only build power but also clubhead speed and distance.
There are several options available on the market to help you to achieve this, and the Golf Gym Power Swing Trainer is one example. It is being used here as an example of typical golf-specific resistance training equipment designed by golfers for golfers.
The development of muscle strength needs resistance training which can be provided in a number of ways, including exercise tubing. The Golf Gym power swing trainer provides resistance training in the same way: via elasticized cords which exercise golf-specific muscles and build the strength required for a powerful fast golf swing. It also develops the endurance required to play eighteen holes without injury or the loss of concentration and power.
The design of the equipment ensures that your grip will be correct whatever exercise you are carrying out, and it is ideal for the development of what is known as ‘muscle memory’, whereby you will be able to execute the perfect swing without thinking what each muscle group should be doing. Muscle memory enables you to carry out complex sequences of movements simply and naturally without thought, in the same way that you don’t consciously think about depressing the clutch pedal when braking a stick-shift vehicle.
As with many forms of golf-specific exercise and training equipment, the exercises provided by the Golf Gym Power Swing Trainer are golf specific, and not only does the equipment build strength and flexibility in the muscles and joints used in the complex rotational movements used in the golf swing, but is simple, effective, portable and ensures that your grip is correct and becomes ‘hand memory’ if you like!
The Golf Gym Power Swing Trainer puts together one or two different pieces of equipment and the choice is yours whether or not to build your own system from component parts or acquire the Golf Gym system itself.
Whatever choice you make, you are sure to find an improvement in distance, but just as importantly, you will be making shots without worrying where your hands should be or in what order you should be using your body parts!
