Interesting paper showing that practicing a range of undesired outcomes (eg hitting a slice/hook out of bounds) is better for skill acquisition than repeatedly practicing producing a desired outcome.

@ShakeyWaits discusses the research in this podcast

Great advice on how to approach injuries at big events like the Ryder Cup.

Don’t over manage/treat, stay calm and reassure.

Be sure to check out the 2021 Ryder Cup Medical Team Q&A on the Network!

The superficial muscles of the trunk such as the lats and the abs both contribute to power generation in the swing through short duration, rapid contractions. Use exercises which will produce adaptations conducive to this! 🚀

For example, there are thoracic, lumbar and pelvic regions of the latissimus dorsi due to its multiple origins so utilising a mix of shoulder extension and adduction exercises in particular is key 🔑

The video above shows a row variation.

The lats and posterior shoulder/scapula muscles serve important roles in the golf swing. Maximising muscle development here requires a range of exercises to address all regions.

During Jack’s live talk on collecting robust data in golf, he covered the importance of considering variability.

👇In this clip Jack explains the dynamical systems theory & the factors which vary when collecting data.

Looking forward to sharing my latest ideas thoughts on talent ID and athlete development with the @golfperfnetwork later this week.

The adductor bridge has a number of progressions and variations to bias the various regions of the muscle as well as its functional synergists within the lateral quadrant of the trunk.

Adductor bridge

The adductors likely have an important role in both stability and propulsion during the downswing.

We’re very fortunate to have Doug Campbell presenting on @golfperfnetwork discussing all things hands and wrists.

Doug was a hand and wrist surgeon and has consulted with the @Etpi team for a number of years.

Wow! Crazy stat from from Doug Campbell on the @golfperfnetwork talk this evening!

In this slide he's talking about the prevalence of wrist injuries at the BMW PGA championship a few years ago.

If you want to work in golf, you need to know your hand and wrist injury management!

Inappropriate use of the ground, particularly a lack of anterior-posterior force coupling can contribute to unfavourable movement behaviours like early extension. However, in this scenario will more horizontally orientated strength exercises help?

2/2

[Golf Performance Network @golfperfnetwork]

“A force couple is a skill”

Golfers use the ground to create force couples, but all have their own unique reliance how they do this to generate torque.
