  3. The act of simply trying to “turn faster” can lead to all sorts of messed
    up actions. Your arms and the clubhead have a long distance to travel
    comparatively to your torso. The feeling should be the arms and clubhead
    are accelerating into impact and as you approach the ball the core engages
    and nearly stops the arms and hands in order to transmit the whip through
    impact with the clubhead. This gives the club a chance to release properly
    and arms to swing across your chest.

  4. Some of the strength and conditioning guys that have come on our show,
    suggest the plank is more of a test of core strength rather than an
    exercise. It’s totally static. Body weight Squats and Deadlifts are some of
    the best for building powerful “golf” muscles. Great video though!

  5. Good stuff Mark. Nice to hear James rather than you rattling on for four
    minutes ; ) Much smoother.

  7. Just did it for 3 minutes. I could’ve done a little bit more, but no way
    I’d get to 5 minutes. This is hard to do. My shoulders, back, abs, and
    thighs feel the burn. I will probably try to do this more. I can see how it
    wold be good for building a stronger core.

  8. Many thanks for adding this video. I hope you can add more videos that can
    make us better Golfer.

  10. I’m lovin that you’re continuing with the fitness aspect of the sport. Keep
    em coming please!

  15. The arms and hands will of course, not completely stop, if the intent on
    how to strike the ball is correct. No chopping or lifting. Swing right
    through. And because you are trying to in effect sling the clubhead through
    the ball, your body “should” respond in the manner that gets you looking
    like all the tour pros, with open hips and the “late hit” and the full
    finish, etc. Once you get past transition, however, all of this largely
    happens on its own. The intent must be correct. Good luck!

  16. why would you hold static planks when the golf swing is very dynamic and
    rotational with speed. the abs are getting fed the wrong info here . they
    need to be lengthened eccentrically with speed to match the demands of the
    golf swing.

  17. I like your idea of involving exercise and fitness in order to play better
    golf. Carrot at the end of the stick mentality.. Good fitness is better for
    life in general and will lead to clearer mind thetefore better golf scores
    maybe.

  18. it’s not about turning fast. it’s about the core being able to withstand
    the energy you create from trying to swing the arms fast and decelerating
    them through impact in order to transmit the energy to the clubhead. a weak
    core will destroy a good golf swing just as a weak link on a chain. a swing
    based on feeling like you’re just turning fast through the ball might work
    if you have the talent, but it won’t last forever. when you are striking
    the ball efficiently every muscle gets engaged.

  20. when i saw them doing it, i was like “PPSH I could do that for 5 min
    easily. 1 min of doing it: DAMMIT THIS HURTS…

  21. Spot on I am using personal trainer for 10 weeks pain free golf is an
    amazing feeling. Find the time and do it, stick to it and you will get your
    rewards. GREAT ADVICE should be first step before GRIP teaching Mark.

  24. Natalie Gulbis does this as part of her workout for like 2 to 3 minutes. It
    was in a video she did. I did it for a little over 3 minutes and it’s tough!

  25. What happens if you put your arms together instead of spacing them apart?
    Would this be bad for the body at all? I’ve been doing it wrong the past
    week – oops.
