Finding your best golf swing is a matter of balance. Your brain is telling you to swing hard in order to hit the ball farther. But if you don’t have balance figured out before you take that mighty swing, the odds that you'll produce a shot at the target are subpar.

Among the many mysteries of golf is the fact that improving swing mechanics often requires going down a path that is counter-intuitive. Want more power? Lighten your grip pressure. Seeking to hit the ball higher? Hit down through the ball.

A question that comes up often for our coaching staff at Hit ITGreat® is “What exercise equipment makes the most sense for working on golf fitness at home?”

Should you back off of a full golf workout program during your playing season or should you train the same all year round?

An offhand comment by Nick Faldo in April offers some insight into what to expect at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

The sports world loves nothing more than the great upset. When one comes along, fascination follows. How could this happen? What change made it possible?

One of the biggest topics of conversation in golf right now is speed -- specifically, how to create velocity in the swing. In this episode of Fitness Friday, we talk about controlling and connecting your upper and lower body to create a safe, balanced speed in your swing. Grab your medicine ball and let's get to work! 

You count your reps at the gym. You count your minutes on the treadmill. You count your calories at the dinner table. There are a lot of numbers to pay attention to when trying to get fit.

Thanks to WHOOP, you can now quantify and keep track of how well you recover from the physical and mental stresses of your day-to-day life. And it can be an invaluable tool for golfers looking to improve their fitness levels -- whether you're a scratch golfer or you're just a beginner.
