Tiger Woods relies on core strength and hip rotation
Albert Pujols relies on core strength and hip rotation
It's not arm strength Tiger Woods uses for his phenomenal club head speed and soaring 300+ yard drives, it's core strength and fast hip rotation. In much the same way, Albert Pujols relies on his core muscles and fast hip rotation for his bat speed and breathtaking home runs. Both of these athletes know their arms just deliver power produced by the largest muscles in their body, their core muscles. That's where the power is, with large, strong, almost impossible to injure core muscles — not with the much smaller, weaker, easily injured muscles around your shoulder.
In any sport the challenge is to get your whole body involved.
