Club speed is the speed of your club head before an impact with the ball. Ball speed is the speed of the ball launching after impact. Ball speed is generally a better indicator of how far the ball goes than club speed. When I started golfing, I thought they were the same thing. And although they’re not, they do have a relation. In most cases, a fast club speed creates a faster ball speed, resulting in longer distances. What’s fascinating is you can easily measure and improve both speeds by slightly modifying your swing mechanics. Let’s find out how in this post.

Adjust your weight shift, rotation, or downswing to control your over-the-top swing immediately. Narrowing it to one or a combination of these elements is the first step to improvement, and you can identify that right now with this guide. However, recognizing the problem doesn’t cure it, so I included some of the most effective drills I’ve used with students of all ages with much success. These may seem simple, but their impact will be felt throughout your entire set. Whether you struggle with over-the-top swings on your driver, woods, irons, or all three, use the information below to squash this

You cannot shoot your best scores unless you understand the golf ball flight laws and how they apply to your specific shots. If you’ve ever wondered why you always hit fades or slices, these laws will answer all your questions and explain the nine types of ball flight all golfers need to know. In this article, I’ll discuss the differences between the old and new golf ball flight laws in simple terms so you can quickly understand why changes were made and how they impact the game to improve your golf swing. This is not just for advanced golfers. I teach

Many amateurs lose distance because they have failed to address the spin rate of their driver. The optimal spin rate should be below 3000 RPM; to get there, you’ll most likely have to shallow your angle of attack. This isn’t as hard as it sounds, and I’ll explain it all below, but it will take a few visits to the range—visits that will be well worth it. I’ve always been a high-ball striker, so you can imagine my surprise when launch monitors became common and I could see my stats. I had to learn how to reduce driver spin immediately.
