More Club Head Speed - Guaranteed 🏌️♂️ This simple exercise WILL increase your club head speed (& probably improve your swing in general). Take 10 CONTINUOUS swings. Recoil from your finish position into your backswing. Build up the swoosh at the bottom on each swing. Warm-up 10 swings, 2 min break, repeat x 3 3 times per week Guarantee you increase your club head speed without trying harder!

How to swing at 130mph with ease😁 1) Have incredible physical attributes 2) Huge turn & incredible width. Look at the left arm at the top 3) Huge stretch & load of the trunk & legs in transition. Using body like a catapult 4) Maintains a lot of “lag”, until it’s 💥 time

Gary Woodland 191mph Notice how his head moves away from the target and up in the backswing. When we move away and up in the backswing, it gives us to shift towards the target and down in transition. This then allows us to explode back up, aiding in speed. Subtle, but 🔑 .

Learning From The Outliers This is 17 year old Dylan Block (Michael’s son) hitting 122mph club head speed and 182mph ball speed with a 3 wood. I slowed down the video so you can get a good look at what he does in transition. It is amazing. Towards the end of the backswing you can see how high he gets his hands, and how far towards vertical his left arm gets. Then we can see a beautiful sequence of events, as he slightly bends his knees, which will set him up for a very powerful mini vertical jump later, and builds lots of pressure under his lead foot. (The pressure will actually have started building under his lead foot in the later stages of the backswing). Most of you will be aware of the term “kinematic sequence” which was made popular by TPI , and this refers to the order in which different segments of the body move in the downswing. The most efficient sequences see an unwinding order of pelvis, toros, lead arm, club. In super fast players, it is also common to see them create a big big stretch between these segments. There is a big stretch across the: Pelvis and torso Torso and lead arm Lead arm and wrist There are even more, including the pelvis getting further away from the hands in a vertical fashion, further stretching the torso. There is also the rapid stretch of the quads and calves / Achilles from the rapid “mini squat” which will enable them push off the ground really hard at the right time to aid in the momentum the body can transfer to the club. Muscles can contract more forcefully when they are preceded by a quick stretch. It takes advantage of something called the “Stretch Shortening Cycle” which is a little bit like a sling shot affect. Stretch, then fire. In the golf swing, because there are SO MANY muscles and joints involved, with elite technique like this you can take advantage of many different stretch shortening cycles. This is a key reason why some players who don’t appear very big or very strong can generate such amazing speed. (Being really strong would probably be additive and help reduce injury risk) The sequence of segment unwinding in the downswing is exactly what you want, and they enhance it by creating so much stretch between the segments. Look at how many frames there is in transition before the club head starts rotating about the shaft back down towards the ball. It is very “late”. This is the opposite of what you see with many amateurs who get to the top and immediately “throw” the club head and spin the upper body open. There is then no stretch between the segments, and all the energy is wasted early. This is a great example of amazing swing mechanics, elite mobility, and probably great genetics all interacting. I can’t stress enough how impressive this speed is at 17, while looking so “effortless”. Thanks to Sasho MacKenzie and Young-Hoo Kwon for helping me understand golf biomechanics better. If you have any questions, fire away, and let me know if you like these types of posts.

I like looking at the swings of really fast guys & girls. Mechanics are obviously great. I’m also quite intrigued by how much muscle mass he has around his pelvis and thighs. I assume he is creating a lot of angular momentum, which he transfers to the club. Anyway, it’s cool.

Huge congratulations to Fit For Golf - Mike Carroll client Stephan Jaeger on his first PGA Tour 🏆 Stephan contacted me in March 2022 with the goal of increasing his distance Season avg at that point VS this season: •Club Head Speed: 112.97 (141) ➡️ 118.68 (49) •Ball Speed: 169.48 (139) ➡️ 177.24 (52) •Average Driving Distance: 285.8 (192) ➡️ 309.4 (8) •Strokes Gained Off The Tee: -1.06 (212) ➡️ 0.435 (25) •Strokes Gained Total: -0.519 ➡️ 1.014 (14) All credit to Stephan. Writing the programs in the easy part 🙂. He has put in a huge amount of work in the gym, on the range, and on the course. He really committed. It is extremely rare for a very short hitter to turn themselves into a very long hitter at the tour level, and it doesn’t happen by accident. If an already pretty well tuned tour player can make this type of improvement, think of the gains that are available to you with some smart and hard work 👊.

Very interesting movement pattern from Michael La Sasso. He is 18th the world amateur rankings. College golfer at Ole Miss. Only speed data I have seen is mid 120’s / mid 180’s, but that was from about a year ago. Video from Own Your Golf Game IG.

Less Effort - More Club Head Speed 🚀 That’s what this “swing tweak” has done for me I’m not saying this is for you, but felt it was worth sharing To answer FAQs: - I’m 5’10, 170lbs - 45.25in PING GOLF driver - Yes, it would have gone further with a positive angle of attack

Use the gas pedal for more speed 🦶🏌️♂️ Here is a variation of the continuous swings I posted on the weekend that many of you liked On the recoil, slightly lift your lead foot off the ground Then immediately replant it and press it hard into the ground Loud swish at the bottom

Gaining Club Head Speed 🏌️♂️ I think continuous swings tend to do good things for golfers. The rhythmical nature of one swing flowing into the next seems to help with good sequencing and timing. Try 8 swings, trying to make a louder “swoosh” at the bottom on each swing. Repeat for 3 sets, 3 x week. You will have an extra 15 yards by spring ⛳️ Also pretty nice for mobility, and a good way to quickly warm up.

I have a secret for you, don’t tell anybody 😉 You can cover a lot of the mobility demands in the golf swing with just this exercise. Internal hip rotation & thoracic spine rotation. Golf is easier when you have both. 15 reps, switch legs & rotation direction. Repeat daily.

Exaggerating going up in the backswing. You might hear it referred to as “unweighting” It allows “crash” into the ground harder in transition. This crash, quickly spikes force under the lead foot We can use this to speed up our body rotation, and get more energy to the club Also exaggerating a some more wrist cock in transition, I tend to release my wrist angles very early It can be really interesting how easy you can hit certain speeds without really trying sometimes 125 is pretty good for me, and I didn’t really “try” to hit it hard until the late downswing I was going a bit slower than usual in the backswing and transition to try and incorporate the technique moves I am working on Are you planning to work on speed this off season? Are you working on it currently? What are you doing, and how is it going? Fingers crossed for 130+ tomorrow for me.
