Have you ever watched a pro golfer effortlessly launch the ball and wondered how they do it? The answer is vertical power. Discover how this essential element can transform your own golf game.

What is Vertical Power in Golf?

Vertical power refers to the ability to effectively use ground force to generate explosive strength in your golf swing. 

The upward movement during the downswing towards impact is vertical power, this force contributes to the speed and power of your swing, resulting in longer and more accurate drives.

The Role of Vertical Power in Your Swing:

By harnessing your lower body strength you can achieve a more dynamic and powerful swing. This involves using the legs and core to push off the ground, effectively transferring energy from the lower body to the upper body and into your club.

Benefits Of Vertical Power For Golfers:

Enhanced Distance and Accuracy: More vertical power leads to greater swing speed, allowing you to hit the ball further and with better precision.

Improved Stability and Control: Developing vertical power helps maintain balance throughout the swing, reducing the risk of mishits and enhancing overall control.

How To Develop Vertical Power:

The first step in developing vertical power is lower body strength. Depending on the results of your Golf Fitness Assessment we programme the appropriate progression of functional and strength exercises for your glutes, quads and hamstrings.
