3 Key Tips to Increase Club Head Speed

If you want to finally learn to increase distance, you need to first learn how to generate power. How does the body work with the ground, how do you transfer energy into the club head, and how can this create more speed, power and distance?

In this video, PGA Professional Todd Kolb helps us understand how to actually create more power and distance by using the ground as a source of power, as well as swing thoughts in the backswing, downstroke and impact that tie it all together.

Nothing is more enjoyable than hitting a nice, long drive. It's one of the reasons we play the game of golf.

That's why it can be incredibly frustrating when you're swinging out of your shoes and the ball isn't going anywhere off the tee.

You bought the latest driver. You're packing every swing with all the power you've got. And your buddies are still swinging it by you while you're laid up on that par 5.

I am going to share three key tips that will get you out of this rut and on to the green in fewer strokes. All these tips help you increase club head speed by accomplishing one essential goal: using the ground to generate maximum power.

I will teach you how to manipulate your swing for maximum power:

on the backstroke
on the downstroke
at the moment of impact
Then, I'll provide you with a drill that provides a practical strategy for making these concepts a natural part of your swing.

Some of these tips to increase distance may go against advice you've already been given. As a PGA golf instructor, I can assure you, when my students put these key ideas to work, they start killing it. They increase club head speed, and they start driving the golf ball farther than they ever have before.

Let's get started.

He's absolutely right. When you pause any of the longest drivers they do look as though they are pulling their arms in. It's completely counter intuitive but it's true!

I just saw your video for the first time, and I like your concept. However, there is a question I have In your drill. Should there be any "push" in step 2? You really make it clear that the sit move gets you to shaft parallel. There is a"push, " but that really should occur in step 3, correct? As you point out in step 3 of the drill, that is where the push off the right foot occurs, extension occurs and the handle gets pulled up and around, without any conscious manipulation of the handle. So, there is really no need to also consciously pull the handle up and around, correct? In fact, that would result in an "over pull, " and that would not be good. I am interested in your reply. Thank you.

Great tip, I played a round right after I viewed it and was hitting my drives both longer and straighter and getting a lot better hip turn. It also helped my timing as I was a little quick and adding the squat slowed me down. Didn't try it with my irons but plan to give that a try.

Great video, Todd. The squat motion has been compared to a shot put or a basketball jump shot, in terms of using the ground for energy. That makes it easier to understand. When I practice it, I find that my lead knee points toward the ball, and my trail leg bends as my hip turns. If I try to straighten my trail leg during the backswing, it restricts my squat motion. What am I doing wrong?

Great tip Todd enjoyed and hope to practice it thanks

[dominiclyons]

If you straighten your right leg on the backswing to load into the hip and then on the downswing do you want to do a squat which is bending the right knee why not just leave the knee where it is

[golfergal]

do you look at swings to see if we're doing it right?
