Default Re: Adding distance by exercising

You need to train the big muscles in your back, shoulders and legs, as these are the ones that gives you the power to "rip it"

Your arm muscles have no real impact on your swing(if you swing correct) and sometimes people who start to work out, start to hit it even shorter, cause the tighten up too much.

You need your body to control the power of the swing, and let the club control the speed of the clubface.

Strong body and have flexibility is a key to hitting it far, arm muscles not,and wose be carefull not to "cramp up"

Man there is tons of bad advice in this thread.

If you want to hit it further work on proper swing mechanics, i.e., the energy that is getting used to swing the club is not being wasted with energy sapping movements.

Work on your flexibility so that you can swing the club freely.

Women who are your size can hit it further then you and it's not because they worked on their core strength.

Buffing your core while not fixing poor swing mechanics and flexibility is a waste of your time.

I remember reading an article that stated the common denominator among the biggest hitters was the shoulder turn compared to the hips. IE their shoulder turn made it so that at the top of the swing the shoulders were perpendicular to the hips and this is were all the important torque was.

Yes, if you search X factor you'll find lots on this.
