One tip to increase swing speed

[Tenputt]

You walk up to somebody hitting on the range. He stops you and asks, “Give me your best tip for increasing swing speed.” You don’t get to watch his swing. You simply have to give your very best tip or thought. What is it?

Hard to increase SS consistently without dedicated effort. If you want to increase speed on the next shot, I would suggest five practice swings with each one increasing in speed and then step up and hit it.

No preconceived thoughts , just swing . You can’t contrive what you don’t have , let it go…. And see what the club does

activate the glutes?

 

[davidsong]

I would give them a driver shaft and tell them to swing it as hard as possible

Relax your wrists.

Relax your wrists.

I was going to say something similar but it is just relax.. give your swing time and be smooth.

Yeah tension kills it for a lot of people.

Start speed training

 

[1860VS]

Stay young.


Fast is hard.
Hard is slow.
Loose is fast.
Relax.

Stomp. Pull. And release
In rhythm

My best and fastest swings are when I’m relaxed and not trying to swing hard.

Rotate your hips on the back swing

I would have to answer is the goal to increase swing speed or to hit your best shot more often. Centre contact on the clubface which clings to the ball that you feel through the shaft vibration, your longest shot that feels effortless.

For the driver. No swing thought. Just the thought of getting the ball out there. My best drives were no swing thoughts. Just rhythm and balance feelings

 

[Duffer Seamus]

Get thee to the gym

Relax your wrists.

I had read years ago that while people advocate a loose grip, learning to relax the wrists is much more relevant to increasing club head speed. Is that something you've always been able to do, @OldandStiff? Or is it something you actively or specifically worked on?

Most people tense up when they try to swing hard which slows them down. I would say relax and try to swing fast and smooth but not hard.

 

[Big Sky77]

Take TRT and switch to a 48" driver?

I think it was Fred Couples I once heard say when asked what he does when he wants to hit the ball farther, "I actually swing easier than my regular swing".

Coming from him, I thought that was memorable.

Edit - now that I think about it, it might have been Ernie Els that said this?

Learn to use the ground. It's such a difficult concept for a lot of us. But once it's unlocked it leads to incredible leaps.

When people tense up they usually have a poor follow through. Think about a Nice complete finish with a nice pose at the end.

I should say.

Don't worry about accuracy.

Make your fastest moment closer to the ball.
