Power (Speed) Training Circuit

To hit it further you can either hit it more solidly, transfer more energy, or increase club head speed. This drill helps with powering the swing with your whole body. Follow the simple progression:

Rope
Stick
Club
Ground
Ball

These baby steps help the brain identify the sticking point for good speed production.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Stral video is looking at a power training circuit.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So I frequently have, whether it's women or seniors,

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
a lot of golfers who are looking to gain distance.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
And this is one of my go-toes as far as my entry points

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
into learning to create more speed.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
It's very similar to the Wush Progressions.

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We're going to walk through a logical progression

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
of just kind of creating speed and then trying to do it with a club.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So the three ways we're going to do it are swinging a rope.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
We're going to swing the club just a shaft

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
or you could use an alignment stick.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
And then we're going to swing the club with the club head.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So the way that it would work, the way that it looks,

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
is first we're going to swing with the rope.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
And just like the Wush Progressions,

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
our goal is to get the Wush to be out in front of the golf ball.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So I don't want to have the Wush starting back here.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
I want to have the Wush well out past the golf ball.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So you're going to take the club or start

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
you're going to take the rope,

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
just kind of wrap it up around your back.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And you're going to make a backswing pivot.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
You're going to start with your lower body,

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
then get those arms in front,

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
and then extend.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And your goal is to create as loud of a Wush

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
on the opposite side of the ball as you can.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Usually you like about 5 to 10 repetitions.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Then you're going to take your driver

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
or your three wood or an alignment stick,

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
and you're going to grip it upside down.

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Now the goal is to get the Wush in the same place.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
So the goal is to get the Wush to happen

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
out on the other side of the golf ball.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
And to feel like the initial part of the swing

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
is happening more from the lower body.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Then you're going to grip the club normal,

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
and you're going to try and get that Wush in the same place.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Now even if you're using a three wood,

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I like to tee the ball up.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Oh, by the way, for those first two,

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I like to do both right and left-handed.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Trying to get the Wush out on the opposite side of the golf ball.

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I like training symmetry when it comes to speed,

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
but then one side it when it comes to skill.

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
So when you go to then hit golf balls,

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I would prefer that you do it tee-dup.

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So driver three wood tee-dup works pretty well,

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
but we'll demonstrate one here, not tee-dup.

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So we've got that Wush progression feeling,

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
and then we're going to not really worry too much about where this goes.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Just work on that sequencing and trying to get that same feeling,

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
especially those soft arms during transition,

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
and then big explosion on the way through.

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Something like that.

00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So if you're struggling with distance,

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
rope, then shaft, then club.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I find that many golfers are just swinging the club really slowly,

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
and so focused on getting the club face to square up,

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
that they forget that they need to swing with a little bit more effort.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Starting with the rope makes it really hard to swing with your arms,

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
so you're forced to swing with your body.

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Then when you turn the club upside down,

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
it's kind of got the same, it's a little stiffer,

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
but you don't worry about club heads, you get a really nice path training,

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
and you get really good release timing,

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
and then when you turn the club right side up,

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
now you have to coordinate it with the face control and low point control.

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But if you get that going,

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
it's been one of my fastest recipes for helping you increase your club head speed.
