Video Description
Can you actually get faster at golf after age 50, or is the “speed window” closed? Last time I tested, my average ball speed was 162 mph with a personal best (PB) of 173 mph. But to compete at a Senior Tour qualifying event, I know I need more. In this video, I’m breaking down the truth about my 90-day speed training journey. This isn’t just about swinging harder; it’s about a complete lifestyle change—from a protein-centric diet to daily home workouts with the Path for Success app.
What you’ll learn in this video:
The 90-Day Results: Did I actually beat my 173 mph PB? The answer surprised me.
The Lifestyle Shift: Why I traded my “coffee-only” mornings for a high-protein breakfast and home strength training.
Swing Mechanics for Speed: I focus on two main pillars—increasing shoulder turn and utilising vertical forces to get out of my lead leg through impact.
Gaming Speed vs. Max Speed: Why increasing your “standard” tee shot speed is more important than your “flat out” maximum.
The Equipment Question: How my bag is changing (hello, 2-iron!) as my strength increases.
