Your First Steps to Hitting the Ball Farther! Should you be working on speed or Distance?? and what’s the difference?? Everyone is talking speed these days, especially increasing your speeds. I’ve been on that train for oh… about 20 years now! And while I was one of the early adopters to drinking the speed kool […]
Just purchased the Tour Tempo Speed videos and would like some help on a suggested routine, how many exercises and how many times per week etc.
Thanks
There are 4 ways to increase speed in the golf swing. You can improve/adapt/utilize: Tempo Body Mechanics Speed Training In a previous post: Two Keys to Distance and Four Keys to Speed I highlighted using tempo to increase speed. What does it mean to improve your BODY? It might start with proprioception. That’s a fancy […]
Blake is your typical 59 year old golfer, he’s had a surgery or two and in the last few years has lost some serious yardage on his drives. He found out about what I do, and was ready to give it a try. As a loyal reader, you know it all starts for me with […]

For those of you over the age of 40, you probably recognize the name of Roger Bannister. Roger was the first runner to break the 4 minute mile and after he did that, many others broke his record. (the modern equivalent is Kipchoge breaking the 2 hour marathon) The RBE was/is seeing someone […]
Let’s pretend you have 2 players. One is Rory McIlroy who swings 21/7 and one is an average golfer who also swings 21/7. Rory’s CHS is 125 mph and the average golfer’s speed is 105 mph… for the sake of the argument, let’s say Rory and our golfer are the same size with the same […]
I really enjoyed reading the book Tour Tempo and I love how it smoothed out my swing. What I am curious about is at 53 yrs young can I increase my speed and distance, without losing my smooth tempo? Can this be achieved with your speed tools and/or will new training throw off my tempo?
Hope you are well. Some of your clients appear to snap the bar from a higher starting position with a shorter range of “snap” – while stronger clients appear to be snapping from a bit lower starting position with a longer, more explosive “snap” of the bar. Is this something you are teaching? Also, are you using the concept of the “unweighted” front foot into the “snapping” action? If so, how? Appreciate any insights you can share.
One of the keys to unlocking speed in the golfer is overcoming ‘gravity’. As a speed coach, sometimes my biggest opponent is what golfers do a lot: sit and look at a computer. Over time, the golfer loses their athleticism to daily life. The golfer forgets that golf is a sport and swinging a golf […]
