Re: Drills for building club head speed

My average clubhead speed is just over 100mph and I hit it about 280 yards pretty consistently (260ish carry).

Good luck and let us know how you do!

Thanks a lot bro. I was at my neighbors house today and just played around doing the baseball swing where you do 5 swings at 50% 5 at 75% etc. I can see how the drill will work, and how it will pay off if I do it over time. I'm not too concerned about distance to be honest, I am only 5'8" 125lbs and I can hit it about 230-250. I don't really swing hard at all just a nice easy swing to get the club through the ball. It would be nice to grab a little extra distance though so that's why i wanna try these drills but I'm not willing to change my swing to add more distance because I'm hitting the ball pretty good right now you know.

Thanks a lot though, I'll for sure let you know how i do.
