The Speed Consistency Drill That Actually Controls Distance
In this instructional video by Athletic Motion Golf, the team explains why traditional clock system drills often lead to distance inconsistency. They introduce the 60-60-60 speed consistency drill, which shifts focus to delivering identical clubhead speed at impact rather than relying on visual backswing landmarks.
The golf ball responds strictly to delivered impact speed, not where you visually end your backswing.
Amateurs using the clock system often vary swing speed by up to 8 mph within the exact same backswing position.
Focus on repeating specific speed targets at impact to establish predictable distance control.
Utilize launch monitors or speed feedback devices to calibrate real clubhead speed instead of relying on subjective feel.
