Increase Your Swing Speed

Increase Your  Swing Speed

If you can increase the speed of your golf  swing, you will be able to increase how hard and far you hit the ball. Your regimen should include exercise to improve physical strength as well as practice to improve your technique.

Weighted Club

Swing a weighted golf club. Start by placing weighted tape or securing an object found around the house to the club, with the goal to achieve an overall weight of about 3 pounds. Break your golf swing into separate parts and hold each position for 20 seconds,

Practice Swinging Usually

Swing as often as you can. Spend as much time as possible at the driving range hitting balls in rapid succession. This will help improve your stamina as well as your technique, which will lead to a faster swing. Even if you can't get to the driving range daily, you can still see results by taking as few as 30 speed swings two or three days per week.

Proper Technique

For the best results, the club needs to be at its maximum speed when it strikes the ball. Begin with a slow backswing, then start to build speed during the transition. By the time you begin your downswing, you should be able to generate enough speed to explode through the golf ball and drive it.

Build Physical Strength

Another way to increase club speed is to make you body stronger. This can be especially helpful as you age, since your body tends to lose strength. Exercises should be performed with special attention paid to the core, lower body and shoulders.
