Creatine and Golf


Recommended Posts

Came across this study that shows gains in distance by using Creatine. During the study, there was no workout program added or anything like that.

Plenty of caveats in the study, so I wouldn't go all in on creatine boosting driving distance:

 

  1. The StrongDrive dosed group had doses of creatine monohydrate, coffea arabica fruit extract, calcium fructoborate, and vitamin D. It's not possible to study the influence creatine monohydrate has in this study.
  2. Driving distances went up, however, clubhead speed and ball speed did not change (to a significant amount; dosed clubhead speed dropped). There appears to be something wrong with their experiment design or how the distance tracking was done; unless supplementation can increase launch angle or decrease spin.

Those are good points.
