Paul Added 30 Yards to His Golf Drive – Here’s How He Did It with the MFF Irondrive Golf Plan
May
At Mike Foster Fitness, we don’t just help golfers get stronger — we help them drive the ball further, move better, and play harder. And no story sums this up better than Paul’s.
After years of plateauing around 180 yards, Paul came to MFF looking to add serious distance to his drive.
He didn’t want fluff. He didn’t want another YouTube drill.
He wanted a proven plan, expert coaching, and real results.
Enter the Irondrive Golf Plan — our tailored 1-2-1 performance system built specifically for golfers who want to unlock power, speed, and longevity.
The result?
Paul is now hitting drives 30 yards longer, swinging more freely, and feeling stronger and more confident than ever.
Here’s how we did it.
🔍 Step 1: Assess. Don’t Guess.
Before touching a barbell, we ran Paul through a full Golf Movement & Power Screen, looking at:
- Hip mobility and rotation
- Core control and spinal stability
- Lower body force production
- Upper body rotation range
- Swing mechanics and force leaks
What we found was classic: Paul had the golf skill — but lacked the physical horsepower to generate the swing speed he was capable of.
Our plan?
Build him from the ground up — stronger legs, a more powerful core, better rotation, and fast-twitch athleticism. All tailored 1-2-1 to his body, goals, and game.
🏋️♂️ Step 2: Build Golf-Specific Strength
Paul’s programme wasn’t about generic gym work.
It was about targeted strength for swing speed.
We introduced controlled, progressive strength work that focused on:
- Lower body force production (trap bar deadlifts, split squats)
- Rotational strength (cable chops, landmine rotations)
- Hip stability and drive (hip thrusts, lateral step-ups)
- Anti-rotation core work to stabilise the spine under speed
These moves weren’t just to “get fit” — they were chosen to help Paul load harder into his trail side, push harder into the ground, and fire his hips faster into the downswing.
Every session was built around golf transfer, not just fatigue.
💥 Step 3: Convert Strength Into Speed
Once Paul had a stronger base, we shifted gears.
In Phase 2 of his Irondrive Plan, we brought in:
- Jump variations (broad jumps, box jumps)
- Medicine ball throws (rotational slams, shot-put style throws)
- Overspeed club work with proper recovery
- Swing speed protocols built around his mechanics and tolerance
These sessions taught Paul’s body to use his new strength explosively — converting horsepower into club head speed.
It’s like going from a diesel engine to a sports car. Same driver, way more power.
🧠 Step 4: Education, Accountability & Habits
Paul didn’t just show up and train — he learned:
- How to eat for performance without restricting his lifestyle
- Why protein mattered for strength and recovery
- How hydration, mobility, and recovery directly impact his power output
- When to back off and when to push harder
He also had weekly check-ins, form reviews, and tailored adjustments depending on how he was feeling, playing, and recovering.
“It wasn’t just training — it was coaching. I felt like every part of the plan was built around me, and that’s what made it stick.” – Paul
📈 The Result: 30 Yards Gained, Confidence Sky-High
Paul now hits his driver well past 210 yards consistently.
His swing feels smoother. His back feels better. His mates keep asking, “What the hell have you been doing?!”
He hasn’t changed clubs, balls, or swing mechanics.
He changed his body. And that changed his game.
