>>My favorite speed trainers:
In 2017, my clubhead speed was around 105 mph. After years of training, experimenting, and learning from some of the best speed coaches in golf, I'm now cruising around 115–116 mph and have reached personal-best speeds over 120 mph. The best part? I made these gains without completely overhauling my golf swing.
In this episode, I'm sharing my entire speed journey, including the four biggest factors that helped me gain distance, the training methods I've tested, and the mistakes that held me back. Whether you're looking to gain your first 3–5 mph or break through a frustrating plateau, these lessons can help you train smarter and unlock more speed.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The four biggest factors that helped me increase my clubhead speed.
How Tour Tempo, equipment, and strength training contributed to my gains.
What I've learned from testing SuperSpeed, The Stack, Rypstick, and the HiiTS Driver.
Five common speed-training mistakes that can sabotage your progress.
Why consistency and recovery matter more than endless training sessions.
How to start your own speed journey and build lasting habits.
Plus, my newly updated 30-Day Speed Challenge opens October 13–20! Learn how to train smarter, swing faster, and start unlocking more distance without overcomplicating your golf swing.
