Yoda:

No drama, understand you must be an extremely busy man.

I will get out my little yellow bible and definitely read those chapters you have directed me to!
(Am going to get out my little yellow highlighter too)

Thanks for the direction.

PS: Go the Aussies!! hahaha.. Although have spent time with Lee so would be nice to see him break through!! And of course we all love to see Tiger get it going!!

Yoda's Luke:

Couldn't agree with you more! Im sorry if my initial post was misleading...

My practice sessions are mainly composed of hitting pitches, chips and punches - concentrating on my educated hands development and impact training. I break up my training in 2-3 x hundred ball sessions. In each session Driver will only see 10-15 shots. You are exactly right must train the way you compete (and that is more like a sprinter) but with multiple rounds you must have some speed endurance also.

Besides golf (and national rep baseball) I have a power lifting background and am a qualified strength and conditioning coach in Australia. Burst training and speed of motion is critical. We swing an implement that weighs 400grams and a relative weight of an equivalency of 11 pounds maximum. Maximal strength training does not translate into speed motion. So I couldn't agree more!

Interestingly some of the elite power lifters (all over 300lbs) I have trained with are very fast sprinters... over 30 yards!

IMHO Neuromuscular development is maybe the most crucial factor in speed development.

Thanks for your post, I will definitely implement your suggestions. It is nice to have some confirmation that on the whole I am on the right track in regards to correct development.
