How to Get 120 mph Swing Speed (TOP SECRET)

[@danielowen5889]

That noodle arm feeling you talked About years ago.. Thats my best speed. I wish i could express enough how you have changed my thought process.. Merry Christmas Baus..

[@golfsidekickextras]

yas noodle arms makes for better swings, more speed less effort

[@tyb3938]

Just took up golf again after 10 years off and at 47 cruise at 105 and consistently swing 112 getting after it. I tend to release early, so might have a little more in the tank, will have to work on that tip you gave. Love your content

[@davidtrevatt]

Wow you are the guru. You are so well read. Love your oversight and informative nature.

[@peter2qg]

All so true. I have been doing a lot of gym strength work and picked up a few mph, but the most gains have been from flexibility work as this allows more rotation in the back swing and hips that are free to rotate through. Also working on hearing that whoosh sound ahead of you so you are releasing though the ball. Not as quick as Matt, but have gone from 85mph up to 98mph and hoping to break 100 at some point soon.

[@duchas]

good job, i starting at 105 let see wat I can manage, but im still young

[@athens_1psvr31]

I’m 44yrs old, just under 6ft and super thin, but athletic. A golfer asked me on the range today if my club head speed was 120mph. I have no idea. I have quick hands so focusing on hip turn, a flat front wrist, and my head down is crucial. On the course hitting 285+ yards occasionally and not fully activating my body properly. My goal is 300yrds and Eagle putts.

[@mikewilliams1479]

Ladies and Gents. Do not forget sufficient rest. Regardless what workouts yoga and speed training you do always get rest. I work and sit for a long periods but I do ensure I get up and stretch and do some basic calisthenics during the work day. Oh yeah. If you speed train properly you can build a speed reserve. This is useful cause it will build up the base club head speed for all clubs.

[@darrenhadden1037]

Impressive 🎉 what is your downswing move? Start clearing?

[@Digiphex]

I visualize snapping a towel.

[@QueensWino]

Dang, man your swing speed is unreal! Waddadedication!🤣

[@John_Wood_]

Must work on this. I'm around 102-105mph swing speed, about 240-250 carry with driver. Seeing others hit it 50yards past me without any obvious extra effort is disheartening.

[@golfsidekickextras]

240-250 in play, versus me swinging at 120 mph and losing balls, i wuld take yours

[@MattHatter_Golf]

Might need a lower loft. I swing 105-108 and carry 265 easily with 30 yards roll out.

[@John_Wood_]

@@MattHatter_Golf True, I do hit a very high ball but I also like to see loft on the face at address so its hard to resolve, although changing in to the Stealth from a Ping this year has helped a lot.

[@ChrisHarper-d7o]

I'm 110 swing speed and carry around 285 / 290

[@realkc1274]

What’s the lift you using ?

[@VoodooZ]

I think people would break their best scores much faster by focusing on short game though.. But I agree lower body strenghtening is the key. I grew up playing hockey so that helped a lot with explosiveness. But remember that your body will only let you accelerate the club as fast as far as your ability to decellerate it without injury!

[@golfsidekickextras]

true

[@Dirtdick24]

Short game, wedges, and shots within 150 yards is what a scratch golfer told me, also he emphasized staying in play off the tee

[@VoodooZ]

​@@Dirtdick24 Agreed. When I play with better players in my league, and they miss fairways, they still beat me because they get up and down while I don't. My short game needs a lot of work too.

[@ChrisHarper-d7o]

100% - But the ability to hit par 5's in two, and driveable par 4's always comes in handy!!

[@dannybeck4901]

I am 59 years old and I can still get club head speed up around 124. I want 10-15 more mph . That is my goal for the next year. I am looking for help. Any takers ?

[@mufc778]

i dream of hitting these distances..im a fit lad whos 35 but can never get past 105 and i average at 100...i think i need to have a lesson or 2 as i think its as much technical as physical

[@Hacktheplanet_]

Thanks very much mate this helped me and my dad, your two pieces of advice.1 keep loose and 2. Speed at the bottom really helped us hit more accurate shots with out letting stiffness get in the way. Thanks!🎉

[@eswag153]

Getting strong at the gym will help your speed ONLY IF you have flexibility. Being flexible is the single handed most important thing in golf. If you cannot get in certain positions it’s Very HARD to swing properly and fast I stretched for one month 3-5x a week. Speed went from 106 to 120. It was much easier for me to feel the right positions and get into them. After that you need to focus on swing direction and face control

[@TheNightAngel112]

What did you stretch? Lower body, upper body, all of it? I have really tight hamstrings and my low back is a mess, so I'm trying to stretch every day, but wouldn't mind adding some of what you did.

[@JJMaritz1976]

What stretches did you do?

[@davidcosten4722]

Matt why don’t you do a workout video with your trainer so that we can see what we need to be working on in the gym to increase speed. I’ve been going to a place called StretchLab to increase flexibility and it too has helped greatly with eliminating pain and increasing swing speed. I’ve done weight training work in the gym, on my own, that hasn’t helped much. Obviously, I’m working on the wrong things. Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[@golfsidekickextras]

ok

[@adrianmcdonnell9085]

I’m experiencing the same thing as David. I’ve been working in the gym 4 days a week and have actually seen a decrease is swing speed!! I have been doing a 100 push-ups a day. 3 sets of 10 wood choppers high to low and low to high, Russian twists and squats. I think I gained more speed when I was practicing over speed without weight training. Would love to see you workout

[@golfsidekickextras]

like i said above, wrong workouts. chest and hammer swing wont move the needle alone. overall flexibility, total body strength especially posterior chain. your body will know if it can handle more action - and if it doesnt think it can, it will stop itself to prevent hurting itself

[@mattc8347]

I was told at a certain point you can’t really teach club head speed you either got it or you don’t

I dont know what else i can do. Tried going to a "GolfPro" here, but that was a waste of Monay. Matthias from Germany

[@eswag153]

You need to stretch every part of your body and do some weight training. Stretching will gain you the most speed though. The stretching will also prevent lower back and hip pain

[@Adam-tm7qh]

Impressive speed for your age and height!

[@AzureVeridian]

Spot on about the magnesium threonate, stuff is a game changer

[@tubopedia]

Playa how did you go from this to your driver going completely offline and then back online, was it this speed training that did it? It would be cool to get a video explaining what you think happened between here, it going offline, and then coming back online with Eric.

[@derekcarday]

[@m.d.8721]

Mr Playa in chief, would you be so kind and share a video of that training? I googled hip thrusts, but was directed to a rather different content? Much appreciated. In spite of my biblical age, i would still like to get to 115. Thanks!

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I used to be a golf coach and can tell you that flexibility is more important (or at least as important) than going to the gym. I have seen 14 year old girls who don't weigh 100 pounds hitting 240 yard drives. Working on the wrong things in the gym will do more harm than good because they could mess up flexibility. If you want to increase swing speed by going to the gym, I would recommend getting a personal trainer or at least find a reputable trainer online who specializes in the golf swing. I am living proof that just going a doing a bunch of typical gym exercises like bench presses and curls will slow down your swing.

[@golfsidekickextras]

if you go to the gym and do bench press and curls and thats what you got from the video, then you are low IQ and deserve to hit the ball worse

[@dezniqqadez]

[Going off 3 simulator driving range sessions] my sweet spot is 103-105 I seem to make the best contact and get around 280-295 totally yardage[and in play] NY fastest swing is 115 usually high 114, this will get mw into 300 but no telling if it goes straight or 3 fairways overs 😅😅

[@iansupnet9508]

I swing 118 just yesterday. But my smash factor is only 1.3. How do I increase my smash factor while maintaining this speed?

[@JBALLER02]

Practice lol. You’re release point with the hands

[@pigpigpiggies3527]

So I don’t really need my legs to generate power?

[@magicmark8315]

Definitely need the legs. Remember the swing starts from the ground up.

[@Jindsing]

Can you go over what launch monitor and computer software you use.

[@golfsidekickextras]

[@IslandsPC-hf8nd]

Your practice swing looks good but the actual swing looks like early extension. Your hips move what looks like 8” towards the ball. Is that the camera angle or still a work in progress?

Im thinking of trying some flexibility exercises instead of weight training. Would appreciate any advice

[@golfsidekickextras]

Do you do any plyonetrics in the gym? Are you doing any squatting and lunging? Any jumps? Are you stretching after? Are you doing dynamic warmup before hand? 100 pushups a day wont increase swing speed, there is no speed in the chest Wood choppers can help but nothing like squat, deadlift, lunge, rows, overheadpress

[@adrianmcdonnell9085]

@@golfsidekickextras Thanks for the quick response. No haven’t been doing any stretching. Will start concentrating more on the lower body. I am sure that my upper body is so much stronger in comparison to my lower body. Especially as I sit most of the day in the office

[@golfsidekickextras]

upper body doesnt give distance - all round balance and strength. you need a solid base

[@turnkeydirect]

I’m 5’8” and I hit 114 my first time in one of these bays the other day. I suck at golf, but I can tell you what I did. I stood back and released my short arms, broke my wrists, and whipped the head through, leaving my weight on my back foot as I moved through. Seems to me that the power is in the wrists, hips, and balance. Anyway good luck man.

[@turnkeydirect]

@@golfsidekickextras I beg to differ. Upper body strength is probably not the deciding factor, but shoulder, wrist, and forearm strength does help you create the speed that you otherwise can’t generate without long arms and / or lifelong training.

[@JeffPassageCPA]

My driver swing tops out at 78mph. I have tried for 10+ years to get faster. Nothing has worked.

Sitting is the new smoking!

[@whenmullet2674]

I get 120 MPH all the time, 2 - 60 MPH swings does it.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Why flip the club over to hear the swoosh after impact? Because then the club becomes a real time implement rather than a lagging implement - but in that case now you're training yourself to swing improperly. The golf club, held by the handle, will not react in real time to your instructions and control. It will always react later than you intend so you have to learn to compensate for that lag. So, turning the club over and swinging it is a horrible idea and does not represent a real swing in any way. If you're looking for a big slice, go for it.

[@golfsidekickextras]

you sound like my mother in law

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@golfsidekickextras I am! Damn, my cover is blown. Getting that swing speed up to 120 is impressive, though. I would think at 120 mph and a smash of 1.49 you'd get a much bigger total distance. The spin rate is good ... everything looks good.

[@eswag153]

You’re only facing the hook because you’re used to your old swing when you were less flexible. Now you need to work on your face control since you’re rotating more. Don’t be ashamed of the speed, just learn to harness is

[@joevelte4252]

Your swing needs more sidebend. You stand up too straight going thru the ball.
