Episode notes
Start Now — Small Consistent Steps Win
- Do not delay speed training because of age, time, or cost; start with small, consistent actions and a clear goal.
- Commit to a plan and measure clubhead speed to see progress rather than guessing improvements.
Begin With Simple Speed And Strength Habits
- Do start speed training and basic strength work if you currently do nothing; aim for two full-body sessions per week.
- Try simple speed drills like the "12-ball blast off" and 10–15 continuous air swings to build a speed habit.
Speed Is Turbo; Strength Is The Engine
- Treat speed as the turbo and your body as the engine; both must develop together to perform and avoid injury.
- Strength without speed training leaves power unused, and speed without strength risks durability issues.
