Here you go guys: http://artofmanliness.com/2010/05/21/beginners-guide-to-plyometrics/

Is it true that Stack and Tilt will be changing their position on weight being forward from 80% to 60/40?

"That's good, just pick it up"... I overheard JD say this many times at the Dancing Rabbit... Until the 16th hole where he made his opponent putt out a 2 footer that just so happened to be worth about 80k... Long story short he missed the putt! If you give yourself anything you are admitting defeat... IMO

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...

Understood, thanks...

Great Post... Handicaps are pointless unless you abide by the handicap rules when posting them. Oh, and if you are not playing the ball down every shot then you also might as well not even keep one IMO...

HOT HOT HOT...

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.

Good reply man, and to the OP, if you have to tell someone that you are going to bash them than you better be ready to do it. I'm just sayin. :-)

Are you serious? Sorry man, but I'm not like most. I'm not going to sit back and read these bitch responses without replying back... You might, but not me...

Is this similar to using a broomstick?

Of course you are, it's a big word and chances are it's something you'd never do. Google it and I think you can YouTube "golf plyometrics" for some basic movements... I can pm you a ton of them.

It really depends on how you do the crunches, but you are correct in that crunches alone with not shed fat. But , it is possible to turn cardio in a fat burning exercise as well. I do (5) reps of 100 every morning and night. I've been doing this for over 2 years now and my heart rate still raises 20 percent and I always finish in a pool of sweat... :-)

Thanks man, I edited it to be more clear. And yes, it is designed for fast twitch and with that comes speed and repeatability. The plyo that I do is not geared towards golf which may make it boring, but there are some companies that are showing some plyometrics actually using golf clubs.

Hey, I would like to give this to one of the older gentleman at our country club. He is a great golfer but always complains of grip pressure and wear... Thanks

You're not informing anyone about anything. The OP can be boiled down to, "plyometrics exists, go search it on the internet." [/quote] Does it exist for you Jamo, lol. If I were a betting man I would say no. But keep following the crowd, it's mighty fitting of all your other post. And the OP was far more than that. I was offering to send my programs for free to anyone that wanted them, or you could simply look for less detailed ones on the Internet...

lol, people always seem to doubt what they can't do!

lol, if any of you are saying that crunches are bad it's more than likely because you aren't doing them right or just because you are too lazy all together. I do 500 crunches every single morning and night and they are absolutely necessary if you want to strengthen muscle fibers in the abs. The problem with crunches is that people over do them. But with the majority of golfers being fat and out of shape it's no wonder I get such flack on things like plyometrics in other threads...

All I'm trying to do is inform other golfers on plyometrics, it's pretty obvious from the pictures and videos that I see posted that the majority of golfers aren't fit enough or quick enough to consistently perform a repeating golf swing... So I now guess it's pretty easy to see why this crowd so far is having a hard time grasping this... But hey, you guys are probably already like me with 6% body fat and cat like reflexes... lol. And if it wasn't for me starting threads, then all you would have are your 1 post wonders looking for a magic potion to cure their shanks.

I'm not talking about the contents of the video, I'm referring to the angles of the camera view. I'd like to see the video from some down the line angles as well... It would be nice to see the actually hands coming to the inside, it would give golfers an idea of exactly how much the lead shoulder comes down and actually getting to see the plane in relation to the shoulder turn... No need to get so worked up. :-)

Gary Woodland, I think he has the best posture and swing in golf. Oh, and Tiger pre-soft spikes...

lol, thanks Sean... Some people think that just buying the expensive clubs will do the trick!

When you say closed, how closed? I use my rear leg and my rear leg only when choosing my shot selection. It's a lot more consistent to IMO to manipulate the leg than the arms during the swing. Try dropping the rear leg back 12" and move from there...

Lofts are not left/right hand specific. If they make it in left hand then you can be certain they will have it in right hand.
