The Latest Research on Non-Dominant Golf Swing Training
While doing my usual scouring of the internet for fodder for my weekly newsletter, I came across an interesting article on the blog of one of my affiliates, SuperSpeedGolf.com.
The article contained new research on swing speed training, of which non-dominant swing training was featured.
The CONCLUSION that was reached was:
- Research is sparse when specifically considering the efficacy of non-dominant speed training. One study showed correlations between non-dominant and dominant side speeds in
golfers of various skill levels, and the other study showed that 6 weeks of non-dominant-only speed swings did result in speed gains and force improvements in golfers.
- It is important to train muscles in isometric, concentric, and eccentric contractions, and all training programs recognize this importance. In rotational training, opposite side training
is an effective way to accomplish this. Of particular interest to me, was that the research has even suggested that doing faster eccentrics would lead to improvements in rate
of force development not seen in slow eccentric training.
- While medicine ball throws and other rotational power training is effective - correlation to CHS (clubhead speed) of 0.6 - it is similar to the correlation between non-dominant side swing speeds (0.59). Many golfers will only be doing speed training as a part of rotational training, and as such, having them include non-dominant side training would be imperative for golfers' functionality and health on the golf course and in everyday life.
It's a must read for anyone working on their swing speed.
Try it, you'll like it!
