Why Golfer Workout

Enhance your performance
In recent years the face of professional golf has changed. The tour professionals who are winning are the players who work to squeeze every bit of performance they can from their body's "swing engines." The winners work out to enhance their performance because distance is the key to winning. These athletes are training to be able to swing with more power and to develop the stamina to out- last their competition.

Well, in recreational golf the stakes may not be as high but competitive ferocity is driving golfers of all ages and skill levels to gyms and fitness clubs. When they get there, what will they find? Well, unless their gym has the Swing Machine X-factor Professional they will probably see heavy medicine balls, cable and pulley machines and free weights which are not specifically designed for exercising for the golf swing.

On typical gym style cable equipment the range of motion is linear or straight in and out. There is no aspect of the golf swing that operates on the linear principal. Clubhead speed, power and swing plane are all generated as a result of rotational motion. And with free weights and medicine balls the muscles being strengthened are usually the lifting or takeaway muscles. These techniques do nothing to strengthen the muscles that power the down-swing. Another deficiency in these free weights is that there is no way to insure that you are working on the correct swing plane.

The Swing Machine X-factor Professional, on the other hand, guides the full swing motion and maintains good arm extension and a proper swing path while you train so you not only stretch and strengthen the muscles used in a perfect golf swing but also train muscle memory for a mechanically correct swing motion on the proper swing plane.
