Baseball players train to hit a 95MPH fastball.

Tennis players train to hit a serve 130MPH.

Don't you think golfers should train to launch a ball over 200MPH?

WE DO! Welcome to the Parrillo's Power Team.

A long hitter's swing accelerates the driver 0-120MPH in less than one second, while launching a ball over 200MPH to travel an excess of 300 yards. At Parrillo Performance we will show you the muscles of importance and how to train them so you can increase your club head speeds and launch the ball to distances you never dreamed of.

Top of Swing

In order to hit the ball long and consistent, you must have a big shoulder turn that leaves your shoulders perpendicular to the ground. This creates torque between your upper body and lower body. With a full shoulder turn, your body acts like a coil just waiting to be unleashed.

In order to get a full turn at the top of your swing you must have strength and flexibility in the following muscles:
  • Deltoid (Shoulder)
  • Teres Major/Minor Muscle (upper back)
  • Latissimus (Lats)
  • Thoracolumbar Fascial (lower back)
  • Internal/External Abdominal Obliques (sides)
  • Fascial Covering Gluteus Medius (lower back)
  • Tenor Fasciae Latae (hips)
  • Iliotibial tract (side of quads)
Load Position

The load position is the where all the power is stored and ready to be released. Your hips lead the way while the rest of the body is being pulled through the impact zone. It requires great strength and flexibility in the torso. Here are the following muscles that need to be trained to improve the power of your load position:

Upper Body:
  • Right Pectoralis (chest)
  • Deltoid (shoulder)
  • Brachii Muscle (tricep)
  • Brachioradialis Muscle (upper forearm)

All forearm and hand muscles:
  • Teres Major/Minor Muscle (upper back)
  • Latissimus (Lats)
  • Thoracolumbar Fascial (lower back)
  • Internal/External Abdominal Obliques (sides)
  • Fascial Covering Gluteus Medius (lower back)
  • Rectus Abdominus (abs)

Lower Body:

Quads
  • Illiopsoas Muscle
  • Sartorius Muscle
  • Vastus Medialis Muscle
  • Rectus Femoris
  • Tensor Fasciae Latae
  • Vastus Lateralis Muscle
  • Illiotibrial Tract
Hamstrings
  • Biceps Femoris Muscle
  • Semitendinosus
  • Semimembranosus
  • Abbuctor Magnus Muscle
  • Gastrocnemius Muscle (calves)
  • Plantaris Tendon (side calves)
  • Soleus Muscle (side calves)

HOW TO HIT IT LONG
Here are few swing adjustments that will help you add 15-20 yards on your drive:
  1. Long, slow backswing. By extending your arms on the back swing you will increase the radius of your swing with allows for more club head speed.
  2. Widen your stance - this allows you your weight transfer to have more inertia at impact.
  3. Roll your forearms at impact - this will increase the release of the club at impact.
