hi I’m Jake Thurm I’m here with Nick and we’re trying to get more club head speed I want that distance man What everyone wants off the tea right Absolutely And I’m I’m club head speeds I’m distance biggest fan What I don’t like is the misconceptions that I hear from amateur players that need speed The their beliefs are what’s creating a lack of speed in their swing Yeah So for me right off the bat they don’t understand how much work is being done early in a an elite level player swing Yep In other words when you put elite level players on force plates there is a lot of work done in the takeaway And yet you’ll hear people say low and slow Low and slow is not a way to create more speed through the system Okay So here’s a fun thing that I like to do with players I’m going to have you go ahead and set up to this driver Okay He doesn’t even know what’s coming So watch this Um I’m gonna actually grab this club right here Okay And if I asked you to take the club away from the ball what would you do Take it this way Right So try to take a takeaway I’m really not going to let that move But you’re going to Okay perfect That’d slide I started to slide at first I felt it The first thing that you would you tried to do was he tried to just use his hands Y and that wasn’t going to move the club So what ended up happening is not that that was incorrect but then you saw a pressure shift where he pushed down on his lead side to load his trail side The club hadn’t moved an inch and you already started shifting Yep The golf swing starts before the club moves And you need to ramp this up So go ahead and do it one more time Yes Yeah So you’re going to shift from your lead side and then you’re going to shift to the trail side So you push over here and pull it away from me Take it away Good There you go If you if you start your swing there you have more potential for speed And if you’re a guy that has said “Well I want a smooth transition.” Think about it If you are low and slow through this portion of the swing i.e not done enough work you’re going to be very rapid and fast in your transition Do more work early so you can be smooth late And then that’s what’s going to get you more club head speed All right let’s see if uh I can start the proper way Yeah So start with my hip back and go through Yep Little high on the face but definitely good And and my favorite thing about this is a dress is not a position it’s a motion Okay Get the pressure shifting in your feet And again pretend I’m holding on to the golf club and you have to get it away from me and rotate away Absolutely
