3 Unique Drills to Increase Your Club Head Speed! (Ep. 7)

Ready to elevate your golf swing? In this video, I undergo a comprehensive training session focused on enhancing swing speed through innovative drills and 3D analysis.

What to Expect:
1 - Practical Demonstrations: Watch detailed demonstrations of specific body and wrist positions, emphasizing how these adjustments affect the strength and efficiency of your golf swing.
2 - Technical Analysis: Learn from the analysis of 3D motion data and real-time feedback on swing mechanics, providing a scientific approach to understanding and improving golf performance.
3 - Expert Coaching: Gain insights from John Sinclair, focusing on drills and techniques designed to significantly increase swing speed, aiming towards a target of 180 mph.

In this episode of Road to 180, discover the key strategies for increasing your club speed. From body alignment to dynamic wrist actions, learn how to execute the perfect swing that combines strength and agility. Follow along as John Sinclair guides me through each technique that you can take and apply to your own game for higher club head and swing speeds!

Typing class. Yep, back in the day when we had typing classes, "Words per minute" with accuracy was the target. How did we do that? Focused exercise of typing pure gibberish to just let the fingers FLY. Point was, you have to go to an absolute extreme in one direction to learn what that feels like... then, you pull it back with control. Great video.

This has been the most informative series I’ve seen on YouTube about increasing speed. Absolutely top stuff, been following since the start and implementing the concepts in my practise at home. At the weekend I sore the fruits come to bare, I hit my longest drive of this year (according to my Arccos data). Autumn time here in the UK and yet manage to drive it 288yards. I know that’s not massive but with the dense air and soft ground that’s a long way for me. I feel my swing speed is up, need to get on sim to check but bit of math work. I reckon I’m up in the 108-110mph with a driver and rising.

I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying this series. It's so interesting learning the physics of it all. Great job!

This comment is in reference to the push on the leg motion.

The best way to train the nervous system is to identify the error in the pattern and push them further into the pattern. We call this process reflexive neuromuscular stabilization.

What happens is that the body notices the poor pattern and figures out a correction for it. The amount of force, direction, timing etc., are all important.

So, in essence, push them whatever way they are doing wrong and let them figure out how to stabilize against it. We have done research on this and coined the term.

I first learned of a similar thing as reactive neuromuscular training. We use this clinically to groove all good patterns. If you get the right error, it should improve it within just a few repetitions.

Enjoyed the video,
Thanks,
Alan

Brilliant binge watched whole series, now going to try get my speed from 160 to 170, no hope 😂

[shawndgee]

This is amazing info, how many years have we been told dont go backwards, or you fell backwards and here all the while it is speed that moves you.

[DriveFarGolf]

Useful as I also have this issue of not managing the driver length well either albeit at a slower speed than this. Something to try next range visit 👍

Great video. Like to hear John's reply to "have you seen smaller, say 200 lb. forces, crack the head faster with less observable jump?".

The direction & timing of the force is key. Marcus Bell of GRF Golf channel demonstrates how the movement can be small and very fast. I think this is what has been hidden in Couples, Els, etc. and the rest of us accidently do occasionally when we smooth one and send it right thru the dogleg. 🙂

I hit my longest drives on both occasions my right foot slipped out from under me in transition from wet ground, now it all makes sense 😊

[giveupgoogleno]

Foot pushing back the hip vs hip pulling the foot back is a big ol golden nugget

[johnathanwetherill]

Ok I got home and tried this . OMG not only did I gain some speed but for what ever reason I hit my drivers dead straight . But boy are my shoulders sore today . Mind you I am only at 105 swing speed .

[HaroldAnderson-wcsz]

I actually step forward with my right foot. I turn my left foot towards target during setup, square my shoulders and tilt. As I make contact and follow by stepping towards target with my trail leg it alleviates any jarring or jolting to my old bones.

How does this translate to irons and woods?
Or as you swing driver faster and faster do you just end up swinging irons and woods faster too?
It doesn’t seem like that would transition to goo ball striking and what not with an iron

[martynsharp]

How does this not completely ruin your back. I've been trying speed training but just end up injured. Any advice?

[KT-edhj]

Would be nice to have time stamps for thr 3 drills

[guitarMonke]

The feeling of slowing the hands down is like when you cast a fly rod. You load the fly rod but you stop the hands and it release the energy into the tip and line.

[larrybud]

Hands slow down because of the law of conversation of momentum. They are a result of the club releasing, not an active thing to "do". Just like an ice skater who is in a tight spin, she extends her arms and slows down.

[DK-sccs]

The last drill looks like a modified slap shot

[chongannyap]

25mph is 20% faster than PGA Tour average! That’s nuts, and with him applying braking force EARLIER, then the kinetic sequence will see the transfer of the speed fr the butt to the head.

[dadplaysgolf]

just use the stack. I've gained 20mph club head this year.
