Why it matters for golf
Absorbing force well comes before producing it. Drop jumps train quiet, stable landings from height, building the leg stiffness and control that later feed jumping and swing speed work.
Coaching cues
- Step off the box, do not leap.
- Land on the whole foot with the hips back.
- Absorb quietly and freeze the landing.
- Reset fully between reps.
Common faults
- Loud, stiff kneed landings.
- Knees caving in on contact.
