Gaining speed using golf swing lever system

The golf swing is simplistically a lever system being moved by your body rotation. The whole thing is driven by applying pressure against the ground. The way the arms and club are used as levers can help you develop swing speed and therefore power.

This is literally the key to the golf swing. And it's simple physics. This is also the key to stop slicing.

Mr Knight you have given me the opportunity in 35 years of swinging a golf club to experience the beauty of hitting a golf ball. Thank you very much!!!!

Great video. Thank you.
I tend to finish my swing off balance with a hop or step in my follow through and generally get only 83 MPH club head speed with driver. I will try to put the brakes on to see if I can finish in balance and with more club head speed. I’ve tried most other things to increase speed.

Excellent Peter. Looks like the same action as the Iron Byron.

Excellent and clear explanation. A bit counterintuitive but then so much of golf seems to be like that!

Very interesting explanation. Although not specifically mentioned, I imagine that grip pressure has a big influence on how quickly the club 'snaps' into action from hip height?

Excellent advice, allow the club to accelerate naturally rather than trying to accelerate the club using your hands.Thanks Peter

you are showing max hand speed at 9 O'Clock but I thought it was was typically at the 7:30-8 O'Clock position where it occurs with the top golfers. No?

My problem is gripping the club too tight and kills my distance. It is like I cna't find that sweet spot of grip pressure and control of the club.

This is tricky. The concepts can be passed on but how does the golfer learn this in practice?
