Increasing Clubhead Speed with Josh Koch
In this episode, I am joined by Josh Koch, a professional world long drive competitor and golf instructor. Josh is one of the fastest human beings on the planet with a golf club in his hands, with clubhead speeds exceeding 150 mph!
I love every opportunity I have to sit down and chat with someone that is one of the best in the world at their craft because I always learn something. Even if you are not a golfer or interested in long drive, you will take something away from this episode.
Josh and I cover:
- His golf story and how he went from college golf to world long drive
- How to gain speed in the golf swing
- What players do wrong when they chase speed gains in golf
- His opinion on whether increasing clubhead speed relates to golf injury
- What he learned rehabilitating a serious neck injury last year
- How he structures his training week to avoid fatigue on his speed day
- The role of overspeed and underspeed implements in golf
- How he uses eccentric training to improve performance
Josh is an awesome guy and a world class athlete so this was truly a unique opportunity to learn how he approaches his craft.
