Mobility: The Missing Link In Your Swing
Why Mobility Matters in Golf
Mobility is your body’s ability to move freely through a full range of motion.
In golf, that means turning your shoulders without losing posture, rotating your hips independently of your spine, and finishing your swing without pain or restriction.
If any of those are stiff, tight, or compensating—you’re losing distance, efficiency, and consistency every time you swing.
What the TPI Screen Reveals
Our movement screen pinpoints where mobility is holding you back. The most common red flags we see in golfers include:
🚫 Tight Hips – Limits rotation and can overload your lower back
🚫 Stiff Thoracic Spine – Reduces shoulder turn and tempo🚫 Poor Ankle Mobility – Impacts balance and lower-body loading
🚫 Restricted Shoulders – Affects backswing control and arm speed
🚫 Limited Neck Mobility – Can throw off alignment and lead to tension
Why You Need to Train It
Mobility doesn't improve by accident. It requires smart, targeted training to:
Loosen tight areas without sacrificing stability
Improve rotation and disassociation (upper vs. lower body control)
Reduce compensations that lead to injury
Set the foundation for strength and power development
Bonus: Improving mobility can also enhance your swing tempo, reduce tension under pressure, and help you recover faster between rounds.

Strength Supports Stability, Power & Precision
You wouldn’t use the same swing for every shot—so why would you train like every other gym-goer and expect it to improve your golf game?
Golf isn’t just about skill. It’s about movement.
Strength training for golf isn’t about bulking up—it’s about building stability, control, and resilience, especially as we age.
A strong body maintains posture, absorbs force, and transfers energy efficiently through the swing.
As we get older, strength becomes even more critical for protecting joints, preventing injury, and staying active on the course.
And importantly, Strength creates the foundation for Power.
The right fitness program doesn’t just help you play better today—it keeps you playing well into the future. Golf-specific strength and stability training can help you:

Power Is Built, Not Born

Then it’s time to train for power —the key to unlocking explosive rotational strength and maximising performance on the course.
At Swing Fit, we take a scientific approach to power development using training methods to enhance your ability to create, store, and transfer energy efficiently throughout your swing.
More power doesn’t mean swinging harder—it means having the mobility and strength to move smarter and faster.

Golf Fitness Assessment Screen
Don't know your golf fitness handicap, or wondering why you should get one?
The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. We use the results of that assessment to determine how technical elements of your swing could be related to what your body can or can't do and provide you with a golf fitness handicap. We also use those results to create a unique plan for you.
Just like your golf handicap your golf fitness handicap ranges from 36 to +7. The better your handicap the better your body moves so you can say goodbye to:
Persistent aches and pains every time you play.
The limitations that are impacting the way you swing.
The compensatory patterns your body defaults to due to lack golf fitness.
Fundamental Training Blocks
Understanding the foundational principles of movement is crucial for golfers at any level. These principles, which include balance, stability, and coordination, form the core of every golf swing and influence every aspect of the game.
By mastering these basics, you can enhance your swing mechanics, prevent injuries, and improve your overall performance on the course. Learning and applying these principles ensure that movements are both efficient and effective, leading to a more enjoyable and successful golfing experience. Whether you're driving off the tee or putting on the green, a solid grasp of movement fundamentals is essential for playing your best golf.
