Strength training matters ... but throwing a ball or making a golf swing is driven more by mechanics and the ability for fast twitches to be quick
The example of Tiger bringing weight training to golf is actually a negative to the argument ... many point to his current troubles with his back to his weight training leaving him not flexible enough for the swing he had
JFC, No one gives a shit that Tiger swung so hard he broke bones in his legs.
People give a shit that he swung so hard and completely changed the game of golf. They had to "Tiger-proof" course so he wouldn't win ever week by ten or more shots.
His putter was ridiculous there for awhile too, but when a guy is hitting a wedge at the flag on every Par 4 compared to the other guys using a 7 or 8 iron it changes things.
Jack Nicklaus could keep winning majors later in life because courses were still short and technology was improving. If his short game was on he could beat anyone. Now if you don't hit the ball like a super hero you might as well stay home. Tiger will never be back because he turned golf into a sport of professional athletes.
Thank god for all this golf talk. Gave me a boner.
Regardless of your thoughts on increasing arm strength with training it ain't gonna happen this year for Jake! He won't even pick up a ball until June...he will be lucky to match last years velocity when he was healthy
3 straight years with a dead arm and shoulder surgery at 20 years old...Jakes arm isn't getting any stronger Hes maxed out that 6-1 190 lb frame

Their offense isn't what beat us.
