School of Golf: Speed Up the Swing

As seen on the Golf Channel's "School of Golf"

The 3 major speed producers are the hands/wrists, arms & body.


Left hand: Make sure you get the pad of hand on top of the grip. Ideal for proper wrist caulk backswing.
Stance: Bend forward at the hips, not at the kness or the belt.

  1. As you swing club back, make 90 degree angle between left arm and club shaft at the top.
    There should be a 90 degree angle between your right arm and forearm.
    Lastly, there should be a 90 degree angle between your shoulders and your address angle.
  2. Swing a piece of rope. Make your body and hips unwind and release the head of the rope on the downswing.
  3. Flip around your driver and grip it. Make swings with it and listen for the WOOSH!
