Google it and I think you can YouTube "golf plyometrics" for some basic movements...

I can pm you a ton of them.

They were confused trying to follow the course of the conversation. It goes from something about Plyometrics being good for golf, then a conversation on what that first post meant. This wasn't the most conherent thread put together. Which does stem from the first post.

Besides that, i would have to agree, just because someone didn't comprehend it doesn't make it right to ridicule them about it.

As for Ploymetrics, its alot to do with moving fast. Alot of jumping, and explosive movements. I don't really recommend them for beginners. I knew a guy who blew out his ACL doing a squat jump before. So make sure to do what you think you can handle.

Thanks for breaking it down, it just seems that all my threads get jumped on when I am only trying to help. Kinda like the post right after my thread aking if I was drunk or the one asking if I was on crack... But hey, I'm new to forums and I'm just learning that no matter what your size or background, everyone is a tough guy with something smart to say.

But again, my reason for starting the thread was genuine and I'm really surprised that so many people don't do plyometrics or even understand it for that matter.

It's strange threads like this that probably contribute to the fact no one understands it/wants to.

That's good you're trying to help, but at least make it helpful by showing examples, actual links, and maybe even explain it a little.

Your original post explains nothing, links to nothing, tells the user to google it, and that's about it - basically useless.

I think the title of this thread started out "Hit it long, straight into the woods" then he proceeded to talk about some ramble about plyometrics.  Of course, it's title and post have changed multiple times since then.

Yeah, without the original title it's hard to understand why people thought this was a vodka, redbull, and MMA headshots inspired thread.

Hey guys, I never changed the title to this thread, I'm pretty sure that was Erik, as I'm not even sure I have the ability to do that. The original title was: Hit it Long or Hit it Long into the Woods: And then someone changed it to Yet Another Thread Started by CuppedTin: And then it went to Plllyyyy..oooommmmeeetttrrriiicccss: And now Plyometrics: Here was my thought process, I have been fighting MMA for the last (3) years and while doing my daily plyo (plyometrics) the other day, I thought it would be a great idea to share since I believe speed in the golf swing can be greatly increased doing plyo. So I guess where I went wrong was not explaining my title. I was basically saying with plyo and a good swing you could hit it long or with plyo and a bad swing you would still be long, just into the woods... My bad for the confusion...

You know, now its time to turn this around. Lay off the guy, we already have 10 posts about him messing up that first OP. How many times do you have to kick a guy before your happy.

I think the OP wanted it that way, according to a couple of his posts.

So, does it matter or not, does it require making jabs all the time. There is something called the higher ground here.

Okay, that is just funny!!!

But seriously. Plyometrics are good.  They have been around a LONG time so it's nothing new.  If you played football or really any sports in high school, chances are you've done them.  I'm sure there are quite a few that could carry over to golf.  I mean any exercise is better than no exercise, right?

P90X has a pretty good Plyometrics section for those interested. Actually if you do the whole P90X program for golf, you'll probably be in pretty damn good shape.

I've been doing P90 for the last 3 weeks and i have to say the plyo is NOTHING to take lightly...that portion of the program can seriously kick your A**...I highly recommend if you do the program to NOT follow the dietry program due to the incredible restrictions it puts on your diet. do everything in moderation, lay off fast food/soda and stick to limiting portions, with more of them through the day and you'll be on pace to be in GREAT shape at the end of it. It has already helped my golf game, i know this for a fact....especially when it comes to energy for the back nine. the plyo is intense...'it's the x...in P90X'

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Range day working with the 6 & 7 irons.  As we have grass and it’s been beat to death, I hit off short tee pegs.  Solid session with the irons - even if there were a few wonky hosel rockets with the 7 when I did not stay in the process.  Finished the session with some work with the driver, focused on setup and tempo.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      Well now the ordeal is over, and I'm back home.  If anyone is interested in doing one of these workshops, I recommend it, but its a lot of information in a short time frame.  Its been compared to taking a drink of water from a fire hose.  A lot of the "enjoyment" comes from the personalities of the instructors.  In my previous workshops, I've had one instructor who was good, and the other was exceptional.  This time, both instructors were exceptional, as was the "coordinator", who also served as instructor (his first time) for a couple of segments.  You have almost certainly heard each of the instructors on telecasts as the "rules voice", and have quite possibly seen coordinator-Jay on the USGA rules of Golf videos on Youtube and the USGA website.   A nice surprise, I got my exam results in an email earlier today.  I guess it helps that our class was held maybe 300 yards from the USGA satellite office in Pinehurst.  I'm really pleased, I improved on my past performances, and can claim the "Expert" title again.
