Michael turned 50 Midway through last year so you got a few starts at the back end of 2023 out here for a full first season on the Legends tour a little birdie tells me you’ve done a lot of work on your swing speed over the winter why is that no I I’ve noticed the last I don’t know 5 to 10 years that he has been dropping uh so well let’s say two months ago I started uh I bought myself this uh little swing device and there’s a little protocol so so it’s fun and now I’m trying to get the swing speed up but it quickly went up to I think where I used to be mhm which is not that much higher but at least it was another club uh but now the problem is to try to break through that and that’s not the easiest thing right we’re out here we’re on the golf course we’ve got the track man I’m going to put you under a little bit of pressure because you’ve got your driver in hand we’re going to hit some shots and see what kind of numbers we can get that’s always nice without warmup so yeah I I I am hoping to get it up to close to 110 swing speed uh ball speed just over 160 if I’m hitting it really well see what we can do and it is 16.4 16.3 ball speed off 107.3 Club Edge speed you be pretty happy to take that to the course yeah that that’s if I can play with that I’m super happy so you’ve got the Speed Stick you’ve been using just to really physically gain speed and power is there anything technically you’ve been working on or any little swing thoughts that you use to make sure you really unleash all that speed at the right time when you’re working on it you need to measure it cuz sometimes you feel super fast and you realize yeah that wasn’t that it wasn’t faster than anything else and then sometimes you you find something and you go I didn’t feel too fast and that was actually faster so you go okay try to replicate that again and again and you learn new things about yourself and different feelings that you can use that’s brilliant Michael thank you so much for showing us how you’ve added that extra bit of power back to your game great to have you here on the legend stour and up around the leaderboards good luck this week thank you
