130mph Speed Project continues Today’s session: Warm-Up (not recorded 🎥) Fit For Golf Dynamic Warm-Up Lateral Jumps & Med Ball Slams (2 x 8 of each) @thestacksystem 60g 2 x 5 Main Session: Video 1) Working on separating mass and pressure - get upper body more behind ball, while still pushing hard with left foot (x 3 swings) Video 2) Wedge under lead foot - gives me something to push harder and “brake” against. Works against my tendency of everything drifting too far towards target. (x 3 swings) Video 3) Shortened Backswings - less time to apply force, incentivized to produce it more quickly (x 3 swings) Video 4 & 5) Giving it a rip - main focus on allowing wrists to hinge more. I generally don’t use my wrists very much. (x 3 swings) 3 rounds Then I just hit a few more at the end. Getting to 125-126 quite often when fully warmed up and going at it. About 5mph off my goal of hitting 130mph regularly in training.

I want to hit 195mph ball speed by the end of the year, and be over 190mph a lot when training. That should enable a 180-185mph on course range comfortable. Two technique elements I’ve been trying are a wider stance and a harder push from my left to right foot to get the swing started. @DrKwonGolf is big on a counter movement to get the swinging initiated and promote a good sequence. (Dr Kwon’s material is great, I am level 2 certified in his golf mechanics course 🤓). I’ll be doing some more speed training with driver and @thestacksystem and working on my technique a bit. I’ve some ideas for structuring speed sessions I haven’t tried before that I will experiment with. Basically, using a variety of different drills that will challenge me in different ways, rather than just trying to figure out swinging faster by hitting a bunch of balls (which can be really effective). Might have had a couple extra mph ball speed with a proper ball here. I’ll save the “max effort” sessions for the sim. They aren’t as practical on the range.

Post workout @thestacksystem swings 300g x 5 -Break- 75g x 5 (video) -Break- Repeat x 3 sets ~10 mins total I have thinking about overspeed training with loads lighter than driver quite a bit. Not a new discovery, but I think giving the body and brain exposure to the movement pattern (swing) at a speed faster than normal could have significant coordination benefits. Learn how to ramp speed up faster, and then decelerate more sharply, to get more speed into the club head. Especially useful for people who are more bus than Ferrari 🙂.
