Why it matters for golf
The downswing rewards athletes who can absorb force and reverse it fast. Depth jumps train exactly that stretch shortening quality. This is an advanced drill, so earn it with solid box jump and landing mechanics first.
Coaching cues
- Step off the box, do not jump off.
- Land quiet with the hips loaded.
- Jump the instant you touch down.
- Keep ground contact short.
Common faults
- Sinking into a slow, deep landing before the jump.
- Using a box too tall to react from.
