Prioritize speed over accuracy in the first three months of practice to set a high ceiling for performance.
Invest in a launch monitor (like the PRGR) to track progress; data is more valuable than new clubs for speed gains.
A shorter, wider swing with high intensity is often faster and more controllable than a long, cheated backswing.
Utilize 'Up-Down-Up' vertical movement to generate ground force speed.
The clubhead must pass the hands at or after impact; holding the face open ('anti-speed') kills distance.
