Band-Assisted Jump: Overspeed Power Training to Improve Swing Speed & Distance in Golf

Key Points

• • What Is a Band-Assisted Jump?

    • A progression that supports your body using resistance bands

    • Enables you to jump higher and faster by reducing bodyweight load

    • Considered a form of overspeed training

• • Why It Works for Golfers:

    • Helps develop explosive power with low impact

    • Strong transfer to the golf swing — better jump performance correlates with higher club head speed and distance

    • Can be done at home, in a gym, park, or golf club with minimal equipment

• • How to Perform It:

    • Attach a strong resistance band to a rack, rig, or fixed structure

    • Hold the band midway up with both hands

    • Choose your jump depth and explode upward

    • Land softly to absorb force properly

  Use a stronger band (e.g., purple instead of red) for more support

• • Coach’s Tip:

    • This variation removes the need for dumbbells or kettlebells

    • A great alternative when you want to train explosively without loading the spine

    • Ideal for increasing power output without high fatigue or injury risk
