The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of 8 weeks of grip strength training on 1 wood and 7 iron shot in KPGA golfers’. Ten KPGA pro golfer who were randomly assigned two groups: experimental group (n=5, 33.40±2.17 yrs, 177.20±5.26 cm, 77.00±6.44 kg, 24.50±1.39 kgㆍm-2) and control group (n=5, 33.80±2.17 yrs, 178.00±2.55 cm, 76.28±3.09 kg, 24.09±1.25 kgㆍm-2). A 8-weeks grip strength training program consisted of three phases; warm-up, main exercise, and cool-down, was applied to the exercise group. Before and After the program, 1 wood and 7 iron shot’s driving distance, direction, ball speed, face angle, and take off angle was measured. SPSS verion 12.0 was used for data analyzed by One-way ANOVA with repeated measure. For all analyses, p<.05 was considered statistically significant. As a result, 8 weeks grip strength training had significant differences between(B) and within(W) groups and B×W on driving distance, ball direction, ball speed and take off angle in 1 wood and 7 iron shot except club face angle(p<.05), respectively. Consequently, 8 weeks of grip strength training were influenced in 1 wood and 7 iron shot to KPGA golfers. The authors are convinced that the grip strength training can be one of an effective training method for improve golfer’s performance.
