Swing Speed Training
Being able to swing fast is a critical component to hitting the ball far.
Take a look at this direct correlation between swing speed and driving distance in this chart Jaacob Bowden created algebraically based off PGA TOUR carry distance averages as reported by Trackman.
Note: The LPGA Tour averages are also the real numbers. Also, long drivers tend to hit drivers farther than what is shown above due to more optimal launch conditions.
This is further supported by additional data from Trackman. Note the direct linear relationship between driver club speed and handicap across the board.
Interestingly, even if you have good swing mechanics and have optimized your equipment and launch conditions, you won’t get as much distance as you are capable of producing without having speed.
So how do you get more speed?
This is where swing speed training comes in to play. Swing speed training is a way of physically training your personal golf swing to generate more speed but still under control.
No technical swing changes are required.

“I’ve already added 6 mph to my driver and I’m itching to keep going and get more!”
-Grant Jackson, Asian Tour, Winner of the PGM Maybank Johor Masters
"I have reached a top speed of 112 mph…this is an increase from 94 mph when I first began your training. I have not told anyone about the speed training I am doing (including my wife, believe it or not), but have had numerous comments from people I play golf with that I am hitting it farther than I ever have! Some of them appear to be frustrated and jealous too...ha ha ha... I am very pleased!"

"I am still a little in shock at the quick results but here goes, (These speeds are average speed that I made solid contact, not top speed)
Monday the 16th, 98-100 MPH, 5 days later, Friday the 20th. 110-112 MPH.
Not only that, but Jaacob, when I let go of the tension, the ball flight was dead straight. I am hitting the ball to areas of the range I never even knew were there. This after just one week!"
- Stephen P, Senior Golfer, single-digit handicap

"My swing speed was around 105 mph, occasionally with a lot of uncontrolled effort I'd get it faster. The speed seems to still be increasing, I was up to a 121.40 mph average yesterday with no effort. On the golf course as of two months ago I've exceed all my longest drives and on one hole I beat my previous longest by 70 yards."

"Working with your speed training programs I increased my speed by 12 miles per hour in one month. The game is a lot more fun with the distances I’m hitting them. Now I’m reaching greens in two more often. Speed training really works."
