Fix this speed leak. ⚡️

Most golfers are leaving lead arm speed on the table.

Not because they aren’t trying hard enough…

But because the hands simply aren’t travelling far enough.

There are two ways to increase lead arm speed without swinging harder:

1️⃣ Increase hand arc length.

The further the hands travel, the more distance they have to accelerate.

This is why so many long hitters create deep hand depth in the backswing and transition.

2️⃣ Increase hand height.

The best speed players don’t just make a bigger turn.

They get the hands higher and further behind the head.

That creates a larger arm arc in the frontal plane and gives the lead arm more room to accelerate.

More hand path.

More hand height.

More lead arm speed.

Simple. 👊

Why your swing has no whip – Part 3 👀

You’ve cleared the hips.

You’ve kept the hands deep.

Now it’s time to load the club.

Most golfers think lag is something you hold.

It isn’t.

The fastest players in the world actually increase wrist hinge in transition before releasing the club aggressively through impact.

That creates:

✔️ More stored energy
✔️ More torque
✔️ More angular acceleration
✔️ More speed

Think of it like pulling back a slingshot.

The more efficiently you load it, the more speed you can create when you let it go.

The key is that the load and release work together.

Lag without release is useless.

Load it…

Then let it fly. ⚡️

That’s how you create real whip in the golf swing.

Why your swing has no whip – Part 2 👀

Most golfers lose speed because their hands get pulled forward by the rotation of the body.

The problem?

As the body starts opening, the hands move out towards the ball instead of staying deep.

That kills the stretch.

And no stretch means no whip.

The best players do the opposite.

As the body rotates open, they keep the hands working deeper behind them.

That creates separation between the club and the body.

More separation =
✔️ More stretch
✔️ More torque
✔️ More speed

This is one of the biggest differences between golfers who create effortless speed and golfers who feel like they have to swing hard.

Keep the hands deep.

Then let the club fly.

Why your swing has no whip – Part 1 👀

Most golfers think speed comes from swinging harder.

It doesn’t.

The first ingredient is clearance.

If the hips don’t clear properly, the arms and club have nowhere to go.

The result?

❌ Less space
❌ Less stretch
❌ Less speed

The best players use the ground to create friction and rotate.

They push, rotate, and create space for the club to accelerate.

That’s where whip starts.

From the ground up.

Get the clearance right and everything else becomes easier.

This is how I added 22 mph of speed. ⚡️

Most golfers try to create speed by moving faster.

The problem?

When the club and body move together in the downswing, there’s no stretch.

No stretch = no whip.

The longest hitters in the world create separation.

The body starts rotating open…

While the club is still approaching from the inside with the clubhead trailing behind the hands.

That creates:
✔️ More stretch
✔️ More torque
✔️ More speed

It’s one of the biggest differences between golfers who swing fast and golfers who look like they’re trying to swing fast.

Most golfers release the club completely wrong.

They think the release is passive…

But the fastest players in the world actively load speed before the release even happens. 👀

Watch Rory or Bryson closely.

In transition, they actually increase wrist hinge before releasing the club aggressively through impact.

That creates:
• More stored energy
• More torque
• More angular acceleration
• More speed

The downswing should never feel like you’re “holding lag.”

It should feel like a race to release.

As you start down:
👉 Feel the clubhead staying behind the hands
👉 While the lead wrist works into more hinge

Then release the club aggressively through impact.

That one move can completely change your speed.

You’re probably sitting on more speed than you realise. 👀

Most golfers think they need to swing harder,
train harder,
or get stronger to hit it further.

And don’t get me wrong — that definitely helps.

But your biggest gains usually come from efficiency.

The best players in the world create speed by:
• Loading the club properly in transition
• Creating space in the downswing
• Then releasing the club aggressively through impact

That’s where effortless speed comes from.

Not forcing it.
Not muscling it.

Just better mechanics and timing.

How to clear your hips in the golf swing.

Most golfers try to spin their hips open —
and get stuck.

Elite players like Xander Schauffele clear their hips because of a diagonal pressure shift, not because they force rotation.

In transition, pressure shifts:
• Into the lead side
• Slightly back
• Then up through the lead leg

That diagonal move creates space for the pelvis to rotate naturally.

Shift first.
Rotate as a result.

I break down the full lower-body sequence inside Project 120 MPH.

Watch Wyndham Clark here from face on:

* massive width in the takeaway
* huge shoulder turn
* pressure into the trail side
* then explosive ground force into impact

Notice how his body stays organised while the club travels on a huge arc around him.

That combination of:
✅ width
✅ rotation
✅ pressure shift
✅ vertical force

…creates effortless speed.

Most golfers get narrow, spin too early, and lose all of that stored energy before impact.

The goal isn’t to swing harder.

The goal is to create a wider, more athletic motion that allows the club to accelerate naturally.

Most golfers focus on the release.

Fast players focus on what happens before it.

The biggest difference I see with high-speed players isn’t what they do at impact —
it’s how they load rotational torque in transition.

They increase wrist hinge as they start down,
create space for the club to rotate about the hands,
and then let that stored load release naturally.

That’s what drives explosive shaft speed
and why copying impact positions alone rarely adds distance.

If you want more speed, don’t chase the release.
Learn how to load it properly first.
