Age is a problem with respect to the golf swing. It is in
the golf club with the golf ball travels at the rate of impact. Clubhead speed
and power in the golf swing.
Clubhead Speed
The development of clubhead speed is a resultant of your
golf swing mechanics. The paragraph above should answer the question of which
comes first; clubhead speed or power? Clubhead speed is the resultant of power
development with the mechanics of the golf swing.
How is Power Developed in the Golf Swing?
1. Golf Swing Mechanics
2. Body
Your golf swing mechanics is the efficiency at which you
perform the golf swing. Essentially, the golf swing can be broken down into the
stages. PGA Tour players tend to perform the mechanics of the golf swing very
efficiently, where as the 30 handicapper performs them very inefficiently.
If the mechanics within each stage of the golf swing are
efficient. The creation of power and transfer of this power into clubhead speed
is at a greater percentage.
The amount of power developed and transferred into clubhead
speed becomes a low percentage.
The first key in power development and the generation of
clubhead speed is golf mechanics.
Efficient Golf Swing Mechanics = Greater Power Development
and Clubhead Speed
Once we understand that efficient golf swing mechanics
equals more power and clubhead speed. The Body
The body is what drives the golf swing. It is your skeleton,
muscles, and nerves performing the mechanics of the golf swing. As a result,
your body has a direct affect on how much power you generate in your golf
swing.
The mechanics of golf swing requires certain levels of:
Flexibility
Power
If you have a weak foundation, you will have a weak golf
swing.
Efficient Golf Swing Mechanics + A Strong, Flexible, and
Powerful Body = Clubhead Speed
We now know clubhead speed is a product of power development
in the golf swing. Power development within your golf swing is contingent upon
two entities. The first entity is your golf swing mechanics. Performing the
mechanics of the golf swing efficiently elicits more power. Optimal power
development requires certain levels of flexibility, balance, strength,
endurance, and power within the body. Put these two entities together and you
have the ability to generate high levels of clubhead speed within your golf
swing.
