![]() Not to mention, it won’t be long before you crack or cave in the face of one of their drivers. The high lofts that they make their drivers will launch the ball much too high and will put way too much backspin on the ball. You simply cannot use a driver that is sold by one of the major OEMS like Nike, Callaway, Ping, etc. Now that you will be swinging fast enough to compete in long drive events, you need special equipment to maximize your launch conditions. Step 4: Get Fitted for Long Drive Equipment There is also a Basic Program offered for those who don’t’ necessarily want to compete in long drive, but who just want to hit the ball farther. It’ll cost you $50 for an account, but it is well worth it if you want to quickly know what it’s like to smoke the ball while improving your fundamentals. So it’s more about finding good technique and training to swing fast and in a controlled manner than it is about being fit.Īt this point, the best resource I know of for swing speed training is my Swing Man Golf Training Program. Conversely, I also come across golfers who are not in the best of shape but they can absolutely kill the ball. While golf fitness has taken off in the last few years, I still come across a lot of golfers who are in great condition but cannot hit the ball that far. ![]() I also know of a senior aged fellow who increased his swing speed from 95-100 mph all the way up to 139 mph! He has since won a couple Qualifiers in the Super Senior division of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships. I personally took my maximum swing speed from 114 mph to 155! And went on to set a grid record with a 421-yard drive at a Local Qualifier in the Open Division for the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships. ![]() It doesn’t even matter your current swing speed. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are. So…to hit long distances, you simply must be able to swing fast but also be under control. Typical amateurs swing 70-95 mph, PGA Tour pros swing 105-125 mph, and Long Drive Pros swing 135-160 mph. Step 3: Training to Increase Your Swing Speed You have to not only be able to hit the ball in play round after round but you also need to make good contact a good percentage of the time. I’ve seen guys go into the first round and win it with a 400+ yard drive, and then go in to the next two rounds and get eliminated because they subsequently didn’t hit a single drive in the grid. What really counts is that out of 6 drives you need to at least be able to get at least few in the grid, and then absolutely smoke one of them. It doesn’t matter so much what swing method you use as long as you find one that works for you. More often than you might think, long drive events are won by only a few yards or even less, so every yard counts! Let’s face it, if you miss the sweet spot by as little as an inch you can lose 20 yards on your drive. Step 2: Develop a Swing Where You Consistently Hit the Sweet Spot So for you to be able to make it, the first and foremost thing you have to do is to simply believe that it can be done and that you can be a long drive champion as well. It doesn’t matter if you are a long drive champion like Jason Zuback or Sean Fister – everyone starts from square one. Step 1: Any Age & Any Skill Level Can Do ItĪt some point or another, everyone makes their first golf swing. ![]() And if you are interested in learning more check out his Swing-Speed Training Video and he is also giving away a FREE Article “The 3 Keys To Distance”.
