  • Ep 205: Mastering Off- Season Golf Training | Part 2 of 2
    2025/12/17
    In Part 2 of the Off-Season Training Series, Chris Finn gets into the nuts and bolts of how to actually structure your off-season program for measurable gains—especially clubhead speed. You’ll learn how triphasic training works (eccentric → isometric → concentric), why adults tend to respond best to eccentric-focused work early in the off-season, and how to progress both strength work and plyometrics so you finish the off-season feeling faster, more explosive, and ready to transition into in-season training. Chris also covers how mobility and minor rehab fit into the early phase, plus how to use the off-season as the ideal time to make swing changes without worrying about scoring.

    Key Points:

    • Triphasic training overview: Eccentric → Isometric → Concentric phases to build speed and power efficiently

    • Eccentric phase (first 3–4 weeks): slow lowering (ex: 5–7 sec descent) + explode up

    • Isometric phase (next 3–4 weeks): normal descent + 3–5 sec pause + explode up

    • Concentric phase (final 3–4 weeks): minimal pause, maximize speed and explosiveness

    • Expect a possible temporary dip in speed during early phases—then a stronger “pop” as you peak later

  • Ep. 200: Why General PT Fails Golfers
    2025/11/12

    Are you treating a golf injury with a general physical therapist? You might be wasting your time and risking re-injury. In this episode, host Chris Finn explains why a one-size-fits-all approach to rehab is failing golfers and why seeking a golf-specific specialist is crucial for getting back on the course safely and effectively.

    Discover the critical differences between general and specialized care, and learn why simply eliminating pain isn't enough. Chris breaks down a real-world case study of a golfer with debilitating back pain, revealing how a golf-specific assessment uncovered the true root causes—limited hip and shoulder rotation—that a general practitioner missed.

    Key Points:

    • The limitations of traditional PT and insurance-based care for athletes.
    • How a proper diagnosis goes beyond the symptom to identify underlying mechanical issues in your swing.
    • The three essential steps of a successful golf rehab program: pain relief, mobility restoration, and strength building.
    • Why addressing the root cause not only prevents future injuries but can also increase your clubhead speed and performance.

    • How sitting sabotages your golf swing by limiting essential mobility, particularly for older golfers.
    • The science behind movement and rotation—and why you need both for a consistent, powerful swing.
