Hello!

I have a little question for you guys. I'm 15 and I'm not a heavy weight, if you know what I mean, but I can strike the ball hard. Perhaps I would need some weight lifting. I wanted to know wich muscle is important to hit the ball pure. I know that a fast hips turn is important, a square face at impact but, I want to have more than that. So if you know some muscles who are important, let me know please! ( triceps, back, shoulders...)

Cheers, Julien

Hello!

I'm a big fan of stretch-exercises, such as with exercise tubes, and stretches themselves, such as yoga-type work. If you go the weight-lifting route - and I do this sometimes - make sure you stretch and don't lose flexibility in the process.

Also, hammer curls, not bicep curls. I think I read a long-drive champion say that somewhere. I'd have to look it up.

At 15 and playing off 8.5 and hitting the ball solidly, I wouldn't bother with weights yet. I'd put that off until you're 17-18.

    • Day 169 - Full swings using MirrorVision. Need to film a few for Evolvr to see how things are progressing. 
    • Day 73: Really wiped out today, so just hit 15 balls with 9-3 swings, and then putted around inside. 
    • I tried them out a few years back but chose the Callaway Mavrik Pros. They’re nice as most Mizuno irons are. I used to play MP54’s and really liked them. I had a Mizuno stand  bag and never had any issues with it.🙂
    • Day 184: 6/24/24 Putting practice on a 3’ ruler, 1” wide. Good session and I hope to get back to full swings once tennis elbow improves. Exercises aren’t currently helping.
    • So last weekend was our annual two man best ball (two round net total for flight honors + a cross flight shootout tournament -  Schaubach Cup) tournament. It was a tale of two rounds. On day 1 my partner and bestie Pete (15.5 hcp) totally ham and egged to shoot a tourney best 58 - four shots clear of our next flight competitor team. He shot a career best 79 coming out with 5 straight pars while I fought my driver. I finally found my swing on the 6th hole and birdied three holes on the back side all of which I was stroking to pick up three net eagles. We basically played our our minds. It's amazing when driver/wedge/putter all workout. On the same day.  Day 2, as often happens ended up being a different story. We couldn't get much done with greens drying out to lightning fast (12 stimp) and shot a net 70 to finish 4 shots outside of making it to the playoffs. Good news was our flight leader won winning everyone in our flight $300 each.  In summary, except for the first four of the five holes, I have never driven the ball better and ecstatic that my putter made me a few bombs. Wedge was as good as I can control one in the pesky 55 to 85 yard range. Of course, all of this was day 1. Day 2 wasn't terrible but made no birds and had three three-putts...and my partner played like he had blown his load on Day 1. Heh. Another team shot 59 to beat us by a cumulative 4 shots. Came in 2nd. All in all was a great weekend.
