Ab Roll-Out Exercise: Advanced Core Strength Training for Rotation, Power & Golf Swing Speed

Key Points

• • Core strength is crucial for protecting the thoracic spine, reducing injury risk, and generating faster clubhead speedvia increased trunk and pelvic rotation.
• • The ab rollout is an advanced core exercise ideal for experienced athletes who already have strong trunk control.
• • It uses an ab wheel to challenge the core through controlled extension and retraction.
• • Execution tip: Only roll out until you feel tension in your core—don’t overstretch.
• • Common mistake: Golfers often attempt this too early without enough core strength, resulting in poor range or collapsed form.
• • If the movement is too difficult, regression exercises (like low or high planks) are recommended before progressing to this.
• • Excellent for building raw core strength needed to handle the rotational demands of a powerful golf swing.
