Burst Creatine

Is creatine the secret to longer drives?

The results of this study – Ziegenfuss (2015) - would seem to suggest that the answer is yes 😳

The researchers measured the effects of creatine on how far participants could drive a golf ball

Group 1 took 10g of creatine per day

Group 2 took 10g of a placebo instead

And after 4 weeks, this is what the difference in performance looked like:

Longest Drive – the Creatine Group increased the distance of their Longest Drive by an average of 13.6 yards, while the Placebo Group saw a small decrease of 1.2 yards

Average Drive – the Creatine Group increased the distance of their Average Drive by 19.6 yards, while the Placebo Group saw an increase of just 2.8 yards

Everyone in the study was a 5-15 handicap

And for the final two weeks of the study, participants dropped their dosage from 10g a day, to 5g a day, of either creatine or placebo

But the fact that they were driving the ball 20 yards further on average after just one month of supplementing with creatine is insane

If you're a golfer at any level, and you're looking to drive the ball further, one of the easiest things you can do is just a simple 4-5g of creatine per day
