Grip it and rip it like never before! Now you can put more distance on your drives and long irons without investing in a new set of clubs. Complete Conditioning for Golf will help you develop the power, flexibility, and coordinated swing required to generate explosive force for maximum distance. And with greater muscle endurance, you’ll have better control over your shots right through the final hole. With added power, you’ll be able to use higher lofted clubs into each green, resulting in more accurate shots!
Pete Draovitch, personal trainer and physical therapist to PGA Tour star Greg Norman, has teamed up with internationally acclaimed strength training specialist and golf conditioning researcher Wayne Westcott to develop the first truly comprehensive golf fitness manual. Complete Conditioning for Golf will have you turning on the ball with greater force than you’ve ever felt before.
Draovitch and Westcott provide 105 exercises and drills to develop your strength, power, flexibility, and coordination, resulting in a swing that produces greater distance and control with each club. Also included is a special 15-minute workout developed specifically for busy people like you who want to maintain strength and flexibility for that next round of golf. More than 100 demonstration photos are included to ensure proper technique for the best possible results. The authors even include a nutrition chapter, making Complete Conditioning for Golf the only golf fitness book you need.
