Faster Golf Swing Speed Means More Distance

Posted in Uncategorized on September 15th, 2010 by admin – 1,393 Comments

According to the equation mass x acceleration = power, the faster your golf swing speed (acceleration), the farther you will be capable of hitting the ball. The basic formula you learned in high school physics, has real world application with the golf swing.

Everything else being equal, if you can add a few miles per hour to your swing, you will find yourself driving the ball longer than ever. A word of caution about trying to swing as hard as possible. What you gain in speed may be lost in control. It will do no good if you suddenly increase your speed by 10mph if you can no longer hit the ball squarely. All you will do is produce longer, errant shots. So, practice a controlled swing by adding a few weights to your club or swinging two clubs and you will increase your golf swing speed.

Ladies swinging away

Ladies golf instruction is beginning to parallel that of the men in the sense that women often bomb the ball down the fairway. In different times, ladies golf instruction would focus more on accuracy without integrating any power moves to push the ball further than the competition. Ladies are hitting the ball at a greater distance than at any time in the history of women’s golf, and innovations in equipment are setting the bar even higher. The women’s professional tours have all seen increases in the driving distance of their players, and many of the youngest professionals hit the ball much farther than their older competitors. Ladies tees have been pushed back in certain circumstances to compensate for this change in the women’s game, bringing into play a new set of shots.

I can’t overemphasize the importance of taking a nice full golf swing. It’s one of the most important things you can learn as a golfer, and learning to always focus on that is one of the best ways to improve your distance and stay consistent. There are plenty of golfers out there who struggle with getting good distance on their drives, and if they just spent a little time with an instructor learning to take a full golf swing, their problems would evaporate. It’s one of those simple things that can be easy to overlook, and hard to learn. Some people take a full swing naturally, but most have to learn.

If you play golf, there’s a good chance you’re going to want to be hitting for maximum distance. The question is how you go about this. There are a few steps.

The first step to achieve maximum distance is to buy the best technology possible. You want to go with a trusted brand name that has been in the business for years and to choose one of their clubs that has received excellent reviews.

The second step is to get a golf lesson so you can get feedback on your swing tempo. Once you make necessary adjustments, you’re ready for step three, which is to hit a ton of balls on the driving range. This will improve your muscle memory.
