Empirical Research

An empirical examination of the warm-up routine prescribed by Brooks Koepka was conducted in this YouTube video. Koepka, a five-time major champion, shared his pre-round routine, which includes starting with a 56-degree wedge and focusing on feel rather than mechanics. Koepka’s approach aligns with current research, which suggests that warm-ups should prioritize dynamic stretching and activation of specific muscle groups involved in the golf swing. The video provides valuable insights into the warm-up practices of a top professional golfer and implications for optimizing performance on the golf course.
