Re: Clubhead Speed ???

Hi Killer,

For what its worth, heres my opinion. To me, clubhead speed is generated on the downswing. Therefore there should be no great urgency in getting the club to the top. What I try to feel in my swing is a slow tempo combined with a good solid shoulder turn. If this is good, then the club head speed will take care of itself in the downswing. I find that this is true foe me anyway. Of course we have to have the other basics right, i.e. grip, ball position etc. Thinking too much about individual issues only causes a break down in the full swing. Another problem may be that you are too "handsy" and not creating enough torque with a lack of shoulder turn. If you strike the ball solid with good foundation then I would suggest you should get average distance from each iron. I hope this helps in some way.

Robert
