Any good drills/practice aids to help improve my swing speed? It is very low right now, and I would like to improve it and hopefully see my driver distance increase some. Thanks in advance.
I actually give clinics on swing speed training.
There's 3 major types of training aids that are good for swing speed training...over speed, heavy, and wind resistance.
Working with training aids and practicing swinging fast is a good start, but the speed returns will cap out. Adding fast-twitch strength (particularly downswing strength) is important too.
There's also sports supplements, band isometrics, isokinetics, ballistic weight training, shadow reps, visualization, tempo drills, etc...stuff like that.
12-16 mph in a month is pretty easy with a bit of work. Got a number of more dedicated clients who have gotten 20 to +30 mph over several months.
