Really good paper here with loads of great info…
Start with this one:
Performance is MULTI-FACETED - in other words, training just for speed/power, approach or mechanics in isolation likely won’t cut it. A well-rounded program is multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted. Work on all of it!
Second:
There was a NEAR PERFECT correlation (r=.91) between peak force on the isometric mid-thigh high pull test and carry with the 6-iron and driver. Pretty incredible strength of relationship
Third:
This study contributes to a growing body of evidence between physical power characteristics and swing performance.
Lastly:
Both movement competency and power are related to swing performance
Summary:
The document discusses a study that aimed to determine the relationship between isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) force-time characteristics and swing performance in high-level youth golfers. Thirteen high-level youth golfers performed IMTP and swing testing, and the results revealed significant correlations between IMTP peak force and measures of swing performance such as club head speed (CHS) and carry distance. The study suggests that maximal lower body force production is important for swing performance in youth golfers and supports the use of IMTP as a testing tool in this population.
