The Golf Mojo

The Green King — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:42:01 +0000

Description:The Golf Mojo Over the last few decades, training has evolved from general training to sports-specific and finally to motion-specific isolation of the particular muscles that come into play during your specific motion. Scientific testing has proven overwhelmingly that lower arm strength and conditioning is too often neglected. Thus, it is apparent that proper strength and conditioning is extremely important in all sports today. This known fact encourages individuals to train correctly and effectively if they wish to be competitive and productive while holding on to their respective sports equipment during a swing motion. The most important aspect of performing any exercise is being able to isolate the area of focus. The MOJO golf swing trainer incorporates targeted isolation weight resistance of the forearms and its biomechanical design strengthens and conditions the wrist and hands as well. The isolation principle of sports and motion-specific training is the true difference between good efforts and great results. The Golf Mojo graduated weight system of three different weights and recommended incremental grip positioning is not only versatile, but very effective. It promotes proper overloading and encourages necessary underloading of the muscle fibers during motion-specific drills. The heavier weighted MOJO combined with slower speed reps establish strength and endurance through the recruitment of slow twitch muscle fibers while the lighter weighted MOJO coupled with faster speed reps tap into the fast twitch muscle fibers for speed and quickness. Features MOJO POWER CYLINDER FACTOR: The cylindrical weight’s distribution of mass and strategic positioning located very close to the user’s hands establishes correct muscle memory for peak acceleration and explosive power where it matters – through impact. MOJOÂ® weight increments of 3.5, 5.5 and 7.5 pounds are designed to help you progress in powerizing yourself safely and correctly, allowing individuals of all strength levels to benefit from MOJOÂ® swing dynamics technology. The weighted cylinder also encourages an even more dynamic approach to increasing swing power via its power band attachment mechanism strategically positioned on the face of the cylinder. Most everyone is much stronger with one arm over the other, so being able to perform one-arm swinging drills with either just the lead or impact arm or with just the trailing arm is so crucial with establishing a double-barrel approach to generating power via these two levers of force-velocity.
