Best series on speed gain on youtube!!

[@golfwelltv]

Dang! Appreciate that! It’s been a blast.

[@chongannyap7562]

Anyone watching this and getting impressed should also watch the physical assessment conducted by TPI’s Greg Rose, who is undisputedly the grandfather of Kinematic Sequencing and Kinetic/Ground Reaction Force Production.

[@golfwelltv]

Definitely agree!!! The TPI channel is great to follow.

[@janolsson668]

@@golfwelltv interesting videoes, thanks! What kind of core exercises did you get from Mark B?

[@Richie3Jack]

Great series. Learned a lot.

[@golfwelltv]

Appreciate it!

[@davidedwards1405]

I had a gears session with JD Golf Academy today and they pointed me towards this video. This is exactly like me. More work with my TPI personal trainer..

[@golfwelltv]

Great to hear! Hope the lesson was helpful.

[@LiveAsItHappens]

I think this is the main reason why s99% of weekend golfers do not improve in golf. Besides poor technique, they have physical limitations which prevent them to getting into the correct positions. They also have unrealistic expectations. Mark Blackburn, the number one coach🔥🔥🔥Thanks for this KZbin channel guys. It's a life changing experience for some of us upcoming tour players

[@golfwelltv]

100%! Glad it's been helpful!

What weight was the medicine ball?

[@ZeeK33NKS]

I love this series

[@golfwelltv]

Really appreciate you watching along!!! We have 2 more episodes already recorded and more scheduled!!

[@593summersound]

Great series and very eye opening! A couple of times Mark said you could also work on your wrist/release to get more energy out to to the clubhead. What was the wrist/release he was referring to?

[@golfwelltv]

Check out the previous episode we did! He walks through it

[@zacharymilos392]

Love this series - are there a network of coaches where one can go to get tested like this? I'm also seeking 180 and the highest I've gotten to is 172.

[@golfwelltv]

Appreciate you following along!!! If you’re at 172 I bet you could get to 180. If you’re looking for coaches that understand the screening process and have a solid base of understating check out TPI certified folks.

[@golfguy96]

@golfsciencelab What weight medicine ball is used for the test?

[@chongannyap7562]

Should be 8 pounds if I remember correctly.

[@scottclements694]

How heavy is the ball thrown?

[@InnerAge66]

Probably around 8 pounds

[@JohnK222inf]

What’s your current average clubhead speed and where do you need to get? I’m not a huge believer in grf, I think if you have good sequence will be a by product but I’m open to learning. Just seems like long drive guys are more working on swinging the arms faster..

[@richardamoroso_violin]

I think grf is just bad terminology. The ground doesn't do a thing. It's how you use your core and lower half of your body standing on a relatively hard and stable flat surface like everyone does when swinging a club. If someone swings a club standing on ice or quicksand, the grf would be completely different.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

​@richardamoroso_violin grf is more of a Newtons law thing. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Meaning the harder you push into the ground the harder the "ground" pushes back. It's not actually pushing back just a reaction.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Long drive guys are absolutely using the ground. This is why in slow motion you can see them leave the ground around impact. They're pushing that hard with their legs to create more speed. No different than a pitcher throwing a baseball or a batter hitting. Both are driving into their trail foot and exploding forward. Load and unload.

[@richardamoroso_violin]

@@industrialpalletworx3548people think the ground is pushing as if it was a trampoline which is so not true 😂😂

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

@@richardamoroso_violin that's not what I said.

Is there a place near Cincinnati that does this?

[@golfwelltv]

I'm not sure of anyone but will ask around for you 😃

[@MJ1331EL]

Bring on the core workouts. LFG.

😩

[@steveregotti8542]

Great video-- you have the swing but need a stronger core-- you could do it-- but to be honest you already hit it further than 90 percent of golfers out there-- 180 isn’t tour average 170 is

[@golfwelltv]

This is the road to 180 though :) We have to get there!!!

[@vitorgohsev4938]

​@golfsciencelab even just doing a little power lifting or plyo metrics would give you Raw power to get 180 your all ready pretty much there

[@vitorgohsev4938]

Even front squats will help your core tbh.

[@nickbayley8673]

So whats the plan to improve your core?

[@golfwelltv]

Need to get one!

@@golfwelltvsquat university. Thank me later.

[@nickbayley8673]

@@golfwelltv It would be interesting to see if just doing that exercise long term would increase your core power output or whether other core exercises are needed.

I’m going to be the 3rd guy asking for the weight of the medicine ball. Is it a classified secret?

[@golfwelltv]

8lb - I replied down below the other day as well 😂

[@miklevey3429]

Where I see this as complete bullshit is that there are several PGA TOUR pros don’t have to move there left and get 170-180 ball speed.

[@jgb6802]

Interesting and I get that this is your goal, channel audience, specialty etc.. But coming from 95 mph DCHS, rather tell me how to get from there or 85/90 now to 100 or 105. I haven't found ANYONE who can do that, yet- and I have been to a dozen youtube stars and many others in person. That's what 95% of serious golfers are after and I doubt that GRF, braking the hands or any ither modern fad have much to do with it, if anything.
