This Was Hard to Watch Back...I Thought I Was Closer

PGA instructor Alex Elliott documents his 30-day journey to increase club head speed using a combination of golf-specific fitness and over-speed training. Working with coach Jamie Greavves, he demonstrates the importance of mobility assessments, daily stretching routines, and the structured use of speed sticks. The video provides a realistic look at the highs and lows of speed chasing, resulting in a 5 mph club head speed increase through consistent physical conditioning.

• Speed is trainable but requires a combination of physical mobility, strength, and neural training.
• A 5-mile-per-hour gain in club head speed is achievable in 30 days with a dedicated daily routine.
• Mobility in the shoulders and thoracic spine is often a physical bottleneck for swing speed.
• Over-speed training using weighted sticks (light to heavy) helps the body break through speed plateaus.
• Consistency in a short (11-minute) daily mobility routine can lead to better swing positions and injury prevention.
