Jumping isn’t golf. So why do we make our athletes Jumping isn’t golf. So why do we make our athletes do it? 💥📊

It’s not about how high you can jump, it’s about how quickly your lower body produces force.

Using the OVR Jump system, we measure the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) to get an objective, data-driven look at how an athlete expresses lower-body force and explosive power.

Here’s why it matters for your game:

⚡️ The Speed Connection: Research shows a link between jump performance (height, power, and impulse) and clubhead speed.

📈 Beyond the Swing: Better jump performance doesn’t magically fix a swing, but it builds the athletic engine required to hit the ball farther.

🔄 Objective Progress: We aren’t trying to build professional high jumpers. We measure to establish a baseline, train the missing physical qualities, re-test, and adjust.

When you combine jump metrics with Trackman swing data and TPI mobility screens, you stop guessing and start training with intention.

MEASURE → TRAIN → RE-TEST → ADJUST. 🏌️‍♂️

“Will lifting weights make my golf swing feel tigh “Will lifting weights make my golf swing feel tight or restricted?” 🤔🏋️‍♂️

We put our Director of Fitness at Lombard, Kody, on the hot seat to address one of the biggest myths in golf training.

The short answer? Not when you train like a golfer.

Building strength through proper movement patterns doesn’t lock up your swing—it actually opens up greater range of motion, builds stability, and protects your joints from injury.

The calm before the hustle. There’s a special kin The calm before the hustle.

There’s a special kind of energy when the gym floor fills up and everyone is locked into their training. From the first warm-up set to the last rep, we love seeing this place packed with members putting in the work.

Build the physical tools in the gym. Apply them in Build the physical tools in the gym. Apply them in the hitting bay. 🏌️

Exercises like medicine ball rotational throws aren’t meant to replace swing technique—their job is to build the raw physical qualities your body needs: rotational power, ground force, and proper sequencing.

Once you build those on the gym floor, you take them into the hitting bay to apply that new speed to your actual swing mechanics.

Gym = Build the power.

Bay = Learn to use it.

Still playing off-the-rack clubs and wondering why Still playing off-the-rack clubs and wondering why your ball flight is inconsistent? Consider this your sign.

Your golf swing is unique to your body—your equipment should be, too.

At SMART, our custom club fitting process isn’t about pushing a specific brand. It’s a completely brand-agnostic, data-driven deep dive using Trackman technology to match shaft flex, launch angles, spin rates, and lie angles directly to your movement profile.

Stop adapting your swing to fit your clubs. Let’s fit your clubs to your swing.
