HOW TO GAIN SPEED // Speed Fundamentals with Drew Cooper Part 1

We have long drive competitor Drew Cooper in the TXG Studio to help Ian as well as yourselves understand how to gain speed and control.

Discussing the relationship between the body and the golf club. Drew shows off the methods he uses that allow him to have faster speeds, and talks his way through his process of changing the swing while being ok with feeling uncomfortable during drastic swing changes.

This is probably the most real video I’ve seen in a long time…I feel like Ian is really “struggling” with the idea of being in constant motion at the beginning of this and it’s really refreshing

[edward]

Obviously being Drew’s size in addition to his power is an advantage but after watching this I don’t think anyone can say speed isn’t a skill. Thanks for a great video.

[AndrewPolidore]

Everything Ian is struggling with speaks to me so much. I ignore all athleticism and swing like a robot sometimes. Great stuff.

[wkndwarrior]

This is one the best TXG videos ever. To see Ian kind of uncomfortable but also with such quick results. For a guy that already knows so much about golf. There’s a lot here for the avg golfer. His eyes were wide looking at Drew just completely vulnerable and ready to learn. And that’s why Ian knows so much. I learned this drill and similar concepts from Clay at Topspeed golf. Very effective

[rickhammel]

Just by watching Drew's swing and emulating it has done wonders for me, not getting stuck and stagnant to start the backswing. Now swinging the 5 iron over 100mph without swinging hard. Dr. Kwon has some excellent drills also.

Excellent Ian, I view a lot of YT golf content and this lesson (and Part 1) is a top 1%er. In both videos you have married the technical lessons to the results from launch monitor performance. I now understand WHY it works the way it does. Much thanks and appreciation.

Mmm been looking forward to this for so long! When i Saw Drew in the monday q&a i just knew some cool videos was on the Way, and so far it has been awesome!
Keep them coming please!

I’ve been watching YouTube videos for like two years now searching for swing tips and I think this is honestly the best video I’ve watched. I can’t wait to hit the range and try this

[rodneypeacock]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Watched both chapters, spent 2 hours in the sim and immediate, big results. Thanks team.

[mmmecho]

I really love this video. As someone who shaped my swing in the 90's, I could identify with Ian and his swing feels. Great to watch, thanks.

[jdicksauce]

Love these videos with Drew! The concepts he presents have already helped me understand the golf swing so much better. Can't wait for the driver video!

[jamesd]

These simple explanations and examples are EXACTLY what I needed to see. Tested the first instruction (pressure shifting) out at the range and immediately noticed an effortless 15-20 yard increase, especially with 5-6 irons. Normally hit 5 iron to the 175-180 target, hit quite a few passes the 200 yard target💪 Eagerly waiting for part 2. Great video!

[dabaumga]

So many gems in this video. Definitely need to rewatch... multiple times.

[Chris_Traynor]

This is such a great discussion. Explained clear and simple. Cannot wait for Part 2!!

[jvelez]

Fantastic. Please have Drew as a regular on this channel. Fountain of knowledge and one of the only instructors on YouTube that has the horsepower to back it up… having him on more frequently would be next level.💯🙏🙏💪💪☝️🙌🙌☝️☝️

[MySportnut]

The content you guys are bringing is outstanding, so many different aspects that many golfers can take nuggets of gold from. Keep it up!

[allengwynn]

Ian asking questions before his first loose swing like he’s afraid of taking the first steps at a salsa lesson, just go for it big dawg!

[andrewthompson]

Every time I watch Ian in the spotlight I like and respect him so much more. Excellent content thank you for sharing.

[TomCollett]

So interesting watching this. I (and probably many) would love to have Ian's swing, interesting to see that there are things he doesn't like and wants to do better. I'll be trying some of this stuff at the range later, I've always felt very static at set up

[somersgolf]

Great stuff guys, really enjoyed that. Looking forward to the driver portion now too.
