Mark Crossfield presents the results of his 90-day speed training journey, aiming for Senior Tour qualification. He breaks down the lifestyle shifts required, including protein-centric nutrition and home strength training, alongside key swing mechanics for increasing ball speed. Crossfield demonstrates how improving 'gaming speed' is more critical than 'max speed' for on-course performance.
Increasing 'gaming speed' (controlled on-course speed) is more beneficial for scoring than just increasing 'max speed'.
Golfers over 50 can increase speed through a combination of fitness, high-protein nutrition, and specific mechanics.
Focus on increasing shoulder turn in the backswing and utilizing vertical ground forces through the lead leg at impact.
Strength gains may require equipment adjustments, such as switching to lower-lofted irons or different driver shaft weights.
Consistent home-based strength and mobility training can reduce post-round physical fatigue and injury.
