A number of different training tools are available to develop the required levels of flexibility, mobility, stability, strength, and power required in the execution of the golf swing. Questions are often asked as to what are the best pieces of equipment for golf fitness exercises and training programs. The answer to this question is not as simple as listing a specific piece of equipment which trains all the "physical needs" of the golf swing.

The answer to this questions lies within the physical requirements in the execution of the golf swing and the individual needs of the golfer. A quick review of research on the golf swing indicates that in order to execute a biomechanically efficient swing requires certain levels of muscular flexibility, joint mobility, segemental stability, muscular strength, endurance, and power. A golfer can develop these physical components with a number of different training modalities and pieces of equipment. For example, if increased levels of joint mobility and muscular flexibility are needed by the golfer, one could implement self-myofascial release exercises with a foam roller and static flexibility training with a stretch band.

Training equipment utilized in golf fitness training programs often include foam rollers, stretch bands, elastic tubing, dumbbells, kettle bells, barbells, TRX suspension trainers, cable systems, and even some selectorized pieces of equipment. The list can be quite long and entails a variety of different pieces of equipment. It all comes down what are the best modalities available to develop the physical requirements of the golf swing.
