How to increase your club head speed Golf

How to Increase Your Swing Head Speed

Everyone wants to hit the best distance off the tee so that they can hit the next shot with confidence. Nowadays, club manufacturers are releasing the latest wood models every year to help golfers hit the ball farther, and many clubs utilize the latest technology and materials to allow golfers to achieve increased distance. But increasing distance is not just about the latest club styles and technology. From a professional's point of view, you have to increase your head speed in order to increase your overall distance. In addition to the increase in head speed affecting overall distance, the performance of the shaft is also critical. Today I would like to explain and analyze this aspect of the clubhead so that you can learn more about it. This will help you increase your overall distance off the tee.

First of all, I would like to give you a basic idea of the way to drive the ball when the whole golf strategy is to hit the face. The reason is that a wood drive must have a certain distance in order to have a chance to hit the green with an iron on the second shot. When the distance of the wood does not reach the original set distance, then your second shot will become relatively difficult and difficult. Although the wood does not need to hit the ball as much as the irons, the wood needs to have a range of directions in order to allow you to deliver the distance you should not let you fall into some obstacles, which will make the second shot to the green more difficult. Simply put, the golfing strategy is that the longer the club, the more distance you need, and the shorter the club, the more accuracy you need. This is an important foundation of golf. So with this basic idea in mind we can move on to the topic of how to increase distance off the tee.

There are two factors that go into increasing distance off the tee: the club and the user. The person playing the golf ball accounts for about 60% of the total impact on distance, and the clubs account for about 40% of the impact. The human being is the most important key. The person is the most important factor in distance, and the person's natural attributes such as fitness, muscular strength and endurance, body extension, swing speed and tempo all play a direct role in how far you can hit the ball. The other two important factors are the correctness of the swing and the proficiency of the swing. Both of these factors are determined by the amount of seriousness and passion that the user has for the sport. Don't think that just because you are not good or mediocre, you won't be able to achieve much in this sport, or you will lose the distance in hitting. Practice makes perfect, and practice makes perfect will help you get better.

This is something that I've learned from my experience with customized clubs, and it's something that can be improved by customizing your clubs and practicing the proper stroke. The result is an average 20% improvement in distance off the tee. It will also increase the stability of your drives and the damage from missed shots. You can read my previous article to learn about a swing that utilizes body mechanics to help you improve your ball striking performance, or you can find an experienced instructor who can teach you a proper swing. This will allow you to improve your game from the ground up. This is the most effective way to improve your swing. However, the process can be painful and can make your scores worse. It will take at least a year of study and self-practice. However, once you have gone through this painful process, your ball striking and consistency will be greatly improved. You need to grit your teeth and get through this process to make a difference in your golf career.

Today we are not focusing on the human part, because everyone's movement because of the innate conditions and practice way to have a variety of problems, it is difficult to have a more unified problem and solution to provide you with reference, so this article will focus on the discussion of clubs to improve the speed of the club head. This point is to allow you to choose a feasible way to improve the hitting distance, it does not need to change your existing movements or need to practice for a period of time in order to achieve the effect of improving the distance, but the effect of the improvement will be more limited, simply from the choice of clubs and improve the effect of about 5 yards to 15 yards of improvement. Although it is not as big as improving the swing, it only needs to follow some of the specifications and design of the equipment provided in this article to improve the immediate improvement, is a lot of golfers can consider a quick method of one.

I have compiled a list of some of the ways to improve head speed and some of the factors that affect head speed to share with you. These factors are directly or indirectly critical to increasing or decreasing your head speed, but if you can take them into account when selecting your clubs, you'll be able to increase the distance of your shots to a certain degree.

1. Head Design - Head design is one of the most direct and critical factors affecting your swing. The design of the ball head will need to be considered in order to maximize your personal use and visual acceptance of the ball. However, the current ball head design is not always easy to get the best of both worlds. There are two mainstream ball head designs nowadays, one is the traditional ball head design with low to medium handicap, and the other is the large and flat design with high hittability. But no matter which type of head design is used, it must take into account the best aerodynamic principles to minimize wind resistance. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the air flow in the downswing is as efficient as possible and that the friction between the head and the air does not affect the speed of the ball. This is the most important aspect of head design. The concept of wind resistance in head design has only been emphasized by major manufacturers in the last two years. Previously, head design focused on head size, MOI (head twist resistance), and ease of play. The most recent Callaway Razr Hawk driver is the Callaway Razr Hawk, which has a head design that reduces wind resistance by more than 20% compared to its predecessor, the FT-9 driver.

Don't underestimate the 20% reduction in wind resistance, but the design allows for a 5mph to 15mph increase in head speed, which can result in a 10-yard increase in distance. Don't think that this increase is just a promotional tactic of the manufacturer, we don't necessarily get this effect when we really play. But I think if you test Razr Hawk woods against other brands today, you can definitely feel the difference in the overall smoothness of the game with Razr Hawk woods, as you can easily put your power into the clubs. The difference is that the wind resistance of the head is minimized so that you can accelerate the club more easily. I've been comparing them. When the wind resistance of the head of a wood is high, it is difficult to put your power into the club to accelerate the ball. You can feel the difference. Although this is a relatively delicate aspect of custom clubs, as clubs are becoming more and more specialized, club styles and designs are becoming more and more distinctive, and custom clubmakers need to analyze and consider every possible detail in order to make a difference in a player's clubs.

There is a guideline for how a basic head size affects wind resistance, and technically, the larger the head size, the greater the wind resistance. How do you know what head size is best for your swing? You'll need to do some direct testing with different head sizes to get the answer. It's a good idea to have a swing speed meter to capture both your swing speed and your head speed to see the difference. Otherwise, analyzing the difference in distance from a visual standpoint can be very misleading. You should also consider that while a smaller head will allow you to generate higher head speeds, a smaller head will have a smaller club face area, which will have an impact on the ease of hitting the ball. So you need to test different head sizes to get a complete comparison of performance.

Basically, the larger the face design, the more wind resistance you will experience than with a smaller head. Many of the more difficult head designs have smaller clubfaces than the same head size, and the edges of the clubface are curved to minimize wind resistance. These are important factors to consider.

2. Head weight - Head weight also affects the speed of your swing. A head that is too light will make it easy to put speed on the club, but stability will definitely affect your sweet spot. Too heavy of a head will cause you to struggle with your swing and will require more physical effort. The right head weight for you is something that you will have to learn by using different head weights. Head weights also take into account the overall length of your clubs to determine if the club set and specifications are too light or too heavy for you. An experienced custom clubmaker will be able to assist you in finding a head weight that will work for you. Head weights should take into account the user's swing speed, tempo and distance. Customers with a certain amount of experience can easily find a head weight that is appropriate for their swing speed. It is much more difficult for the average person to find the right weight for the ball. This is because it's not just the weight of the head that counts, it's also the length of the club, the total weight, and the shape of the head that needs to be analyzed to be correct. Even if you take two clubs with different head weights and different head shapes, the numbers won't be correct.

3. Shaft length - Mechanically, the longer the arm, the more power it produces. The arm is the length of the club, and the user is applying torque to the club to hit the ball. When using a 44" long club or a 46" long club, the distance effect will be different. This is the same argument that many of today's major manufacturers use to say that the longer the club, the farther you can hit the ball. But there are two sides to the coin, because the longer the club the more difficult it is to master the club, and although you can get about 5 to 10 yards of distance out of a longer club, it will have an effect on shot consistency and fairway percentage. So if you just look at the length of the clubs and don't take into account ease of use and accuracy, you won't get significant distance gains. Of course, if you have a professional customizer who can help you customize the weight and length of your clubs, and choose a head shape that works well for you, you'll be able to get a good distance gain. This will definitely have a good effect on the distance gained.

4. Shaft flex and bounce - When it comes to distance, the shaft is the key component. The shaft itself is the soul of a club. It can make all the difference in the performance of a club. There are a number of factors to be considered in the shaft that will allow the user to maximize results with the least amount of effort. The most important aspect of a shaft is the speed at which the shaft flexes and releases power. So you need to choose the right flex characteristics and power release for each shaft so that you can hit the ball with the right amount of power.

Everyone has a different swing, a different swing speed, a different swing tempo, and this will affect your choice of shaft. Not every commercially available club's shaft characteristics are suitable for you to use, and not I just need to practice hard to overcome the characteristics of the club to hit the effect of this shaft out. This is not the right way to approach the game because if the shaft is not right for your swing, no matter how much you practice, you will not get good results. Let me illustrate this with an example of a member who actually customized his golf clubs. A golfer is hitting good distance and trajectory with a commercially available wood, so that would be a good club for him, wouldn't it? Not really. When I provided him with another wood (which had a similar trajectory and distance to the one he was currently using), the results were different in the following ways. First of all, the quality of the ball is more solid than his existing clubs, and the stability of the ball flight is better. Side-spin suppression is improved, so the ball will not fly around. Secondly, although the trajectory is similar, the stability and glide of the ball at the end of the flight is significantly better than the current clubs. The current clubs fly high in the air and then fall down weakly. Lacks stable glide. This can make a difference of 5 to 10 yards in distance. Although the characteristics of the ball flight is similar, but just look closely to understand the performance difference between the custom clubs and the general market models, not to mention the hit back to feel more solid and smooth.

Third, the roll of the ball when it hits the ground. The current clubs stop with very little roll after landing. This is a huge detriment to the overall distance of the club, and when you have a good shot and the roll of the ball on the ground leaves you 10 yards short of the overall distance, it can be a huge setback. So in the test clubs I provided, the roll on the ground was clearly improved, and the ball could easily make two bounces and then roll 15-20 yards on the ground (the test site was a small uphill area). With this improved performance, distance was clearly optimized. Although the performance and distance of his current clubs are good, there is still room for improvement with the customized clubs. The reason for this is that you need to understand the different bending characteristics of the shaft, the ability to suppress side spin, and the amount of spin that suits the user's needs, so that the quality and stability of the ball in the air can be improved. These factors affect the roll of the ball when it hits the ground. This is the most important factor in improving ball quality.

This is a very specialized area that requires a technician with a certain level of knowledge and customization experience in order to correctly determine whether the shaft is suitable for the characteristics of the head and the user's swing. Because this is the most important factor in determining the fit of a club shaft, it is difficult for the average person to see the difference. To understand this, you need to build different clubs with different characteristics, different shaft sizes and different flex characteristics in order to test and understand the different areas and details.

5. Shaft Weight - Shaft weight is the second major consideration. This is because shaft weight is second only to shaft flex and rebound characteristics in terms of the distance you can hit the ball. Basically, the lighter the club, the easier it is for you to use, but how light do you need to be to get the best results without losing consistency? Generally speaking, shaft weights are in 10g increments. If you're currently using a 60g shaft, consider going down a weight class to increase your head speed. It's also a good idea to test the shaft stiffness with a shaft of the same stiffness. When lowering the weight of the shaft, it is also a good idea to increase the length of the club by half an inch to maximize both the length of the club and the benefits of a lighter shaft. This will increase the distance to the ball. Of course, it is not recommended to increase the length of the club for stability reasons. A half-inch increase in length will alter the original characteristics of the club. Such a change will affect the stability of the swing for players who are not very skilled and stable in their swing.

In addition to increasing club length and reducing shaft weight, you will also need to adjust the shaft stiffness to increase distance. Because when you increase the length of the club by more than 1", the entire club area will be spread out, so you need to choose a softer shaft, and how much softer depends on the characteristics of the shaft itself and your swing speed.

These factors have a direct impact on distance, but for the average person, it's best to start with the shape of the club. It is easier to get good results this way. Good results can be obtained by testing the clubs directly. When you feel that your power delivery is not smooth or comfortable, it means that the shaft characteristics and wind resistance of the club are too high for you and it is difficult for you to deliver your speed. When you are able to get your speed into the club, you should be able to get good results in terms of clubhead speed and distance. Don't underestimate wind resistance, because if you can increase your club head speed by 5-10mph, your distance will definitely improve.
