GOLF-SPECIFIC TRAINING

GYROTONIC® Application for Golf program was designed by Juliu Horvath, GYROTONIC® founder, and Dave Rasmussen, PGA Tour instructor and GYROTONIC® instructor. Dave has 30 years of golf teaching experience and was trained by Hank Haney, a former PGA Teacher of the year who currently works with Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara.

With GYROTONIC® training, golfers will be able to play more consistently and play without the fear of injury. It helps all golfers improve faster, and ultimately enjoy the game more.

THE BENEFITS OF GYROTONIC® TRAINING FOR GOLFERS INCLUDE:

• Increased swing and club head speed
• Increased driving distance
• Better ball-striking ability
• Ability to better control trajectory
• Improved contact and directional control of the ball
• Limiting potential injury
• Corrected posture and improved address position

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® has multiple exercises for every part of the body and each movement involved in the golf swing. The methodology involves controlled exercises that will improve hand-eye coordination, balance, concentration and development of muscle tone – all necessary to maximize one’s performance on the golf course.

This system will help strengthen the hips, shoulders, wrists and forearms. It strengthens the abdominals and lower back, facilitating a greater trunk and spinal rotation (greater “coil” or “turn” at the top of the backswing). It improves flexibility of the hamstrings, hips, shoulders and arms. It aids in the development of (internal) tempo and fluid movement patterns.

GYROTONIC® methodology is the perfect compliment for golf. Simply, It is the finest exercise system out there for all golfers!

BENEFITS FOR THE SPINE

Proper rotation of the spine is paramount for the golf swing. Spinal rotation generates much of the power during the golf swing. A good golf swing applies tremendous physical demands on the whole body, but the spine remains especially vulnerable. Back problems often plague all levels of golfers from the novice to the professional. GYROTONIC® training emphasizes spinal movement, which prepares the golfer for the swing’s exceptional demands. The rotational exercises of the torso loosen, strengthen and train the muscles of the spine to freely accommodate the golf swing’s rotational power and speed.

BENEFITS FOR THE SHOULDERS AND ARMS

An integral component of the golf swing is the shoulder turn. Upper body exercises help strengthen the shoulder girdle and increase shoulder flexibility, which facilitates greater shoulder rotation. A primary physical failing for golfers tends to be a weak, inflexible upper back and shoulder area. GYROTONIC® exercises specifically address these issues by lengthening and strengthening this area. Additionally, specific exercises strengthen and properly align the wrist, facilitating the “wrist-cock” phase of the swing.

BENEFITS FOR THE HIPS AND LEGS

Strong, flexible legs are essential for a good golf swing. Coordination of lower and upper body movements remains challenging for many. Being “out-of-synch” is a common golf predicament. Effective power in the golf swing is generated by the legs providing the activity necessary for rotational movement of the spine in both the backswing and follow through. GYROTONIC® training assists the flexibility gains required for the hips and legs to maintain the proper alignment and balance throughout the swing. Tight hips and hamstrings, for example, make the correct address position and weight transfer difficult to accomplish. GYROTONIC® exercises specifically address hamstring flexibility and the pivoting motion of the hips. They help achieve better balance and weight shift, thereby allowing greater and more efficient power generation.

BENEFITS FOR THE ABDOMINALS

Strong core abdominals are paramount for a good golf swing. GYROTONIC® abdominal exercises create the strength and stability required to stabilize the pelvis. This aids in moving the upper body and lower body harmoniously, creating “lag,” and a swing that is “in-synch.”

“… few golfers ever achieve a level of success equal to the amount of hard work they’ve put into their game…In my experience, conventional strength training, core conditioning, and other fitness disciplines did not result in students achieving their perfect golf swing. The search to help my students achieve their goals finally led me to Juliu Horvath and GYROTONIC® methodology. GYROTONIC® training gives golfers the best combination of strength, flexibility, and speed – all essential to developing the golf swing to its full potential. …”
