#34 - Mike Schofield - Rotational Power Expert

Author: Mike Carroll June 9, 2022 Duration: 1:11:13

In this episode I am joined by Mike Schofield. 

Mike did his masters degree research on power development in golfers and his Phd research on the biomechanics and physiology of elite track and field throwers, which has strong relevance for golf. 

Mike used to be a very keen golfer, being part of the NZ golf panel as a junior and having a +3 handicap. 

He also has experience in speed training for golf, having increased his own club head speed from 110 to 142mph, which we dig into! 


Mike’s knowledge and experience is of the highest level and I hope you enjoy his insights.
