Another excellent video on speed training - if only l was 40 years younger!!😀😀Keep them coming - great job. I keep trying and hope my back doesn’t break in half😅😅😅
Sam, love the energy. You’re the man. Keep up the hard work! With your help I will be able to hit one 300 total soon! As another commenter noted. I do have a question of when the hinged wrists release the club. Is it a throw at the ball? A rotation of the forearms into the ball? Should I not even worry since I’m working on speed anyway and my brain will automatically try to square the face anyway? Thanks
More so depends on your grip! Weaker grip = the need for right forearm rotation mixed with flexion and extension of left wrist. Stronger grip = for radial and ulnar deviation (side to side) unloading the wrists at impact to amplify speed. When your hands inevitably slow for the club to catch up, your wrists are already working in this way. Amplifying this at the same time will increase club speed. But make sure you don't just start trying to flip your wrists on your downswing. That's when things go off the rails. 300 coming soon!
These drills are great for working to stop dragging it through the zone. I also did a video on shaft loading and unloading which can shed a bit of light on it too. Will make more in the future!
@SamAttanasio good tip about where to generate speed and agree 100 % . I've been practicing this and know the right vs wrong feeling, however when I do it with driver, I keep pushing the ball right. This is where I think something in this speed drill doesn't allow a proper club release and forward weight transfer ( assuming ofcourse that all other swing checkpoints are good). To swing that fast, the right hand automatically overgrips the club in order to feel like you don't want to totally lose it from your hands and that prevents the club face from squaring. Also, the body wants to stay too much on the trail foot and the contact has a feeling of coming off the ball too soon. What are your thoughts? How do you fix these issues with learning to swing fast at the bottom?
It is all about how you incorporate the drill. When working with golfers struggling to get weight to their front side, I use the same drill but I have them pause, shift weight, then swing. Really focusing on the rotational piece utilizing their lead side. Same drill, same principles, slightly different focus. That's where individualizing each drill becomes very important.
Excellent video. I definitely am one that throws the kitchen sink at the ball from the top. Will work on this immediately. In your considerably educated opinion, can fast twitch muscle be “woken” up. My basic understanding is that what you were born with is your lot and that’s that!.
Not true at all!! But very common misconception. Your nervous system controls fast twitch activation and that can absolutely be woken up. That is the purpose of the Speed Toad. Specific fast twitch training allows your body to increase the number of fast twitch muscle fibers in your body. There will obviously be people gifted with more at the start but you can definitely always increase them.
Could you do a video on ball strike location on the face to help us that struggle to hit the centre of the face every single time please? 😂 I keep getting a few ball strikes higher on the face or shots more heely/toey than I would like so it would be nice to have a swing thought of mechanical change to adjust strike location.
What is you trigger to get in the slot? Dropping right shoulder and tilt left ear to ground? Or using right arm like skipping a stone before engaging left arm? Or ...
There are so many different triggers which varies person to person. Left shoulder up and back, hips rotating first, pulling rope down, right arm external rotation, right hand behind left, skipping a stone, throwing an upper cut at inside of golf ball, etc. So many thoughts to get the same outcome.
I did some high-speed video of my swing and noticed that my shaft is unloading right before the trail foot. Should it be later? Is the shaft not stiff enough? Is this something that this drill will help?
This drill will help. Stiffer shaft bandaids issues typically. A lot of times the shaft will start unloading before the ball so make sure it's not just starting to unload. It is bad if it fully maxes out unloading then starts to return as you drag through the zone.
@SamAttanasio Thank you! My ball speeds are typically in the 155-163 MPH range right now on Trackman. Working to try and get another 5 to 10 MPH. I have been using a Denali Black 60s and was going to try a Kai'Li White 70x to see if it made any difference.
Based on speed, I would suggest sticking with a softer setup to try to maximize it. If you are releasing it too early, you are leaving a lot of extra speed in the tank. Stiffer shaft may help accuracy if you are inconsistent with shaft unloading but it will also decrease speed.

Great video again. Wow. Never saw it explained that way.
Awesome video .
Now tell us about the hands through that zone.

@@SamAttanasio Holy crap you explained it all here.

Do you have a vid on not dragging the club through the zone? I feel like this is one of my cruxes.

Added to the list!
@@SamAttanasio Thank you so much :). I rely on yours, Bryson’s and Marty Borgy’s educational videos to stop sucking with the driver 😂😂

Can you do a speed toad speed day
