Kids can start golf lessons and informal play well before their teens, but structured golf performance training, the strength and conditioning work that supports a growing swing, is a different question. At Dulak Golf Performance, junior training starts at age 13, when a young athlete's body and training capacity are ready for structured strength and conditioning work. Before that age, lessons and general athletic play are the better fit. Key Takeaways Golf lessons and inform

A TPI golf assessment is a movement evaluation, conducted by a Titleist Performance Institute certified professional, that measures your mobility, strength, and movement patterns and connects the results to how your body moves through the golf swing. It identifies the specific physical limitations affecting your performance so your training plan can target the actual cause, not just the visible swing fault. Key Takeaways A TPI golf assessment evaluates mobility, strength, and

Choose a golf-specific workout in Pittsburgh by starting with a program that begins with a movement assessment, targets the mobility, strength, and rotational power your swing actually needs, matches a training format you'll stick with, and is led by a coach with golf-specific credentials. A generic strength program can still help your fitness, but it won't be built around the physical demands of your swing the way an assessment-led golf program is. Key Takeaways The right pr

Golf swing speed comes from how much rotational force your body can generate and how efficiently that force transfers into the club, not from swing tempo alone. Improving it takes three things working together: rotational strength and ground-force training, enough hip and thoracic spine mobility to load and unload the swing fully, and a training approach that builds speed progressively instead of chasing it all at once. Key Takeaways Swing speed is a byproduct of rotational s

A TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certified trainer evaluates how your body's mobility, strength, and movement patterns connect to specific swing characteristics. Instead of guessing at a fix, they identify the physical limitation behind a swing fault and build a training plan to address it, which can improve swing efficiency, clubhead speed, and consistency while lowering injury risk. Key Takeaways TPI certification trains fitness and medical professionals to link physi

For most online golf coaching programs, you need a smartphone or tablet, a stable internet connection, and a coaching app that connects you to your coach. A small workout space, a mat, and a set of resistance bands cover the basics for golf-specific fitness training at home. A launch monitor or simulator can help but isn't required to start.
