Fluid Strength™ Training By Larry Castro

A blue shield with the letter f on it is in a circle.

The essence of the golf swing lies in its motion, not merely in static positions. Traditional golf instruction often emphasizes positions and segments of the swing in isolation, leading to a fragmented understanding. This approach typically results in students internalizing a disjointed swing rather than a seamless, fluid motion.


At PGFA™, we advocate for and train in the concept of FLUID STRENGTH™. Our instruction and development focus on nurturing fluid movements, integrating this dynamic into our fitness training and golf instruction.


A golfer's foundation and core are crucial for achieving a strong, stable, and fluid balance. Without this core strength, golfers often resort to compensatory maneuvers to create an illusion of balance.

This leads to a heightened awareness and apprehension of gravity's effects, fostering mental fear and instability in positions where they haven't developed trust. The inevitable result is tension and a swing that lacks fluidity.


The key is to attune to our bodies and cultivate natural motions, thereby developing FLUID STRENGTH™. This involves:

1. Training with fluid motions.
2. Practicing with fluid motions.
3. Employing terminology that reinforces the concept of FLUID STRENGTH™.

Our training methods and golf swing instruction are designed to foster these robust, fluid motions. This doesn't imply a disregard for understanding the starting points and transitions of the swing. Instead, it's about demonstrating the biomechanics motions necessary to achieve these stages effectively.
