I'll film a lot of content next week, doing a few more Q&A rounds, drop your questions down below:

[@loganwashington1811]

Can you give a more in depth explanation deceleration and it's effect on the swing.

[@lawbinson]

Local Par 3 course - longest hole is 180 yards. How many clubs and which clubs would you bring?

How do I stop hitting the ground behind the ball when trying to increase my AOA?

[@windycityrosin]

What’s your opinion on one length irons? Would you recommend them to someone?

[@colmonator]

Where you say you need to increase speed in the middle of the swing (less than at the top and follow through) what feels do you look for there to get the timing of that speed!! What point in the sequence do you start to apply it?

[@ProjectRaijin]

“There’s no sound right” plays music over the purest strikes ever, love you Martin please keep up the videos I want you and Kyle Berkshire to link up for an on course video

[@myroslavshewchuk2557]

Martin this actually made a huge lightbulb go off for me! So I made a decision this winter that I want to swing my clubs daily but I don’t have anywhere inside that is tall enough to do full swings. So since November I’ve been swinging in my spare bedroom. It’s got 8’ ceilings so I can’t follow through completely with my swings so I hold them off afterwards. But at the same time I’ve been trying to implement some speed training that you and Bryson teach. I’ve found that this has made it so I have to create fast speed and then stop it very quickly or I put a hole in my ceiling. All in all when I go play the sims I find I have almost a stumpy swing but I’ve added about 20-25 yards and 10 mph to all my clubs while becoming more consistent with my striking. It’s really wild and I didn’t understand how I could possibly get that kind of improvement while essentially shortening my swing. This gives me one of the answers. Thank you!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

wow! that‘s a mental way to practice this 🤠

[@jadenlehrmann9785]

Hey isn’t that where I hit 196 ball speed?

[@CWTRNG]

Hey man, been following for some time. Nice videos & It's great to see how you push this sport. I watched some of the simulator and radar comparisons, and noticed (for example) Trackman gives approximately 5 mph less club speed vs the Quad, due to the center effect of club head. But as I understand it, ball speed ends up pretty similar - as Trackman will provide higher smash factor? Then to the question, if you are able to answer :) I also noticed with same ball speed, the Foresight GCQUAD still gives more distance (5-20) yards. Is this something you have noticed? And why is that so, due to difference in spin rate?

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

This is my personal opinion: Ball flight algorithms are a little bit different between the systems. Not sure which is right or wrong. If anything, my guess would be that spin decay is not factored in correctly. Also different balls can produce different ballistics. Especially high launch + low spin on Foresight seems to be a bit too far. Still: I always prefer a measured spin rate compared to a calculated one because I practice with the raw numbers and not the calculated distance. Hope this helps!

[@CWTRNG]

@@MartinBorgmeierLD Thanks a lot Martin! It definitely helps. I'm new to this since about half a year so It's bit of a jungle, hehe. Been playing only indoor in trackman 4. That's the main one here. Soon I will try it outdoors too (not many locations have it yet). Hopefully I will even be able to try the Foresight's sim soon (at another location in Sweden that I know uses it). Yes, that's what I've noticed I try to skip any calculated numbers. When I started with RCT balls it works better at the Trackman simulators I'm playing at. Thanks again and have a good weekend

[@scoobanny]

Awesome content Martin! I was wondering whether you could do a video on the proper pressure shift (countermovement) that precedes taking the club back, and then the shift that precedes the downswing. It's clear that every LD has a very active lower body before they take the club back, whereas most amateur players are super static. Dr. Kwon, a biomechanist rom Texas Women's University has a number of videos on this. I read somewhere that Bryson actually came to see him at some point. I know you two are friends so would be awesome to hear what your thoughts are on this. Greetings from Poland!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Interestingly, I just filmed a new video also touching this topic!! Will post next week 👍🏾

[@keitho6018]

Great video! New sub...the deceleration is interesting and makes a lot of sense...like when someone says " I'm going to just hit a 3/4 shot or a knock down" and then it flys farther than a normal shot...pure contact +more speed =more distance

[@hulksmash6858]

I inadvertently discovered this on the range a few months ago. I was shortening my follow through, but was getting great results. I have been working hard on my drives...three days ago, I hit a 339 yard 3 wood. I have a few 370 yard drives. My longest so far has been 387. When you are in the southeast, please let me know, I would love a range session. Are you going to the PLDA event in Jupiter coming up?

[@chrissmith9135]

Makes perfect sense to me. What's more violent? Driving a car at a 100mph,or driving a car at a 100mph and hitting a brick wall and coming to a complete stop? Now envision your right shoulder as the car. The driver is the golf ball that comes flying through the front window after hitting the brick wall.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

That‘s true but in that comparison I don‘t see the difference between having your foot on the brake pedal or not. I‘ve figured being able to decelerate better after impact is key

[@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

I 100% find I'm slower indoors as well. I thought I was going crazy, lol.

[@rhull3939]

I freaking love this. I've noticed in the past when I video my swing that my most comfortable swing and best drives looks sawed off. Shorter follow through. Thinking that can't be right, I try to have a longer, smoother follow through. 5 mph slower with driver when I do that. I'm way faster when I'm short and compact. All my energy is at the bottom that way. Doesn't look as pretty but who gives a shit.

It has to be because your pre-engaging your core prior to impact in anticipation to decelerate. I'm sure other muscle groups do the same on a lesser level.

maybe, I don’t really know, just making observations

[@marlonwhiskeyjack2799]

Almost like a deadlift, brace the core then start the lift. When i swing the club in anticipation to decelerate i use the same principle in the deadlift. Brace the core to decelerate the golf swing.

Use a soup pan and fill it with water and do the same thing. Try to speed up the water leaving the pan and there you have it. You learned to speed up by braking your body.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

I like that, not sure if it fully transfers to the golf swing but I love the physics portion

[@mycommentpwnz]

I'm fairly certain it is the shape/aerodynamics of the driver why you swing slower INTO the wind, but don't receive any additional speed when swinging with it. There is quite a bit of SURFACE AREA on the FACE of the club, which, when swinging INTO the wind will create a (small amount of) DRAG. Yet, the back end of the club is akin to the nose of an airplane or a (American) football. EDIT: I do find it VERY interesting you swing faster outside. The more I think about it, there might be something to that, scientifically.

My guess is it has more to do with how fast he swings and rotates his body, makes the contact happen much earlier in his swing to hook less shots

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

[@davidmcnamara3243]

The arms have to start to decelerate at P5. Ie the arms slow down and the clubhead speeds up, as it desperately tries to escape from the rotating mass, triggered by the deceleration of the arms. This deceleration of the arms will cause the shaft to flex at P4, which acts as a "leaf spring" and this is the secret missing power accumulator!!

[@pmdwyer274]

Martin, you are right but it is nothing new. It is known as parametric acceleration. Bubba is a prime example, most tour players use a portion of it. Ernie Els has also based his swing on it.

I agree with the indoor vs outdoor swing speed thought, mentioned it to a coach and he asked me about claustrophobia, don’t have any feelings of that but we went from a small booth 6 yd to a larger 40 yd indoor and the numbers were way better in the latter. I can’t hardly swing now in a small booth unless it’s small irons. Took my home set up outside to driveway and it was crazy better. Always confused about my course game vs indoor practice.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

that‘s so interesting, I had no idea how many people feel this way 😬

[@systemoptimizer3542]

So you're a long drive competitor, and you only learned about deceleration recently? 😏You say you decelerate to make your body go faster, but that's not quite correct. What decelerating your body does is allow the forces from your body to transfer into the shaft, the shaft then kicks to transfer speed to the clubhead, and the clubhead passes most of that speed to the ball. If you're just yanking your body around, and not letting the shaft do any work then the type of shaft you use matters very little. If you want people to believe you swing fast then why don't you use some type of swing speed monitor to show it? For anyone who doesn't know who you are you just appear to be some guy spinning out of his shoes blabbering that he hits it far, but may not be hitting it 150 yards for all anyone can tell from the basic video. Driving ranges around the world are filled with those kind of guys...🤪

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Unloading the shaft correctly and improving your deceleration pattern is two different things

[@systemoptimizer3542]

@@MartinBorgmeierLD You can't unload the shaft if you don't load it in the first place. You aren't loading the shaft if you aren't decelerating the arms/hands. If your body isn't decelerating and breaking at some point then you're likely yanking the arms and club around. If your yanking your body around, and its dragging the arms and hands along they probably aren't decelerating. 😜

[@davidcavon637]

I think it's not just deceleration, it's recoil. Like cracking a whip, you throw it out and then jerk it back. The club handle moves a short distance through impact, and it's travel is from low to high. That's why your practice of reverse swing at the end adds so much speed, your practicing recoiling the club handle.

Interesting training method. I am wondering, does this work to go faster because you slow upper body movement where the energy of the club head has to dissipate thru rapid wrist un-hinge, being the only path available? … or is this more a mental exercise, I.e. where your body can more easily be pushed within defined range of motion limits? Interesting, whatever the reason.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

sequencing wise the torso speed is definitely being overtaken by the lower body but I feel like a lot of CNS is involved as well

[@wannaberockstar2]

The left leg snapping back. I never get that feeling when swinging the driver hard. I notice the long drivers doing that. I have a speed stick and do a little training for fun and I have gained distance and accuracy but how do you get the left side action? Is it from turning the hips so hard?

[@andresd11]

I never though of us as deceleration, I just tried to make a shorter backswing and follow through wich helped me hit the ball in the center of the face wich gave me more distance. Now, I do y really understand or “feel” the power coming from my legs I am more of an over the top player so my arms and shoulders are more active. Any tip to feel or actually generate power with my legs/hips? Thks!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Watch the @regecy videos! we‘ve been talking how to use the ground a lot!

[@timothypollock8358]

You are an entertaining guy with a great attitude. The deceleration angle is an interesting one. I sort of relate that to the feeling I have sometimes gotten when I seem to carry a heavy hit into the ball and all of the energy transfer possible seems to happen a couple of feet on either side of the ball. Sometimes the follow through, if I make a full one, just seems like enjoying the ride while I relish that blissful feeling of crushing the ball. There is no need in those cases to swing well beyond the ball in order to transfer maximum energy to it, the lighning has already struck well before the long follow through. I also think that this has something to do with the ideal takeaway. If the marriage of wrist, hand, and arm movement sychronizes perfectly with the motion of the shaft, one is ideally suited to transfer energy to the ball on the downswing. Every slight change in the rotation of the body and line and angle of the takeway necessitates slight adjustments in the motion of the hands, wrists, and arms for absolute optimization of energy transfer. I think that there is gold to be mined in this area and especially at speed where slight power leaks are more likely to occur. I think that the most perfect motion of hands, arms and wrists that I have ever seen is from Cameron Champ who makes his power look absolutely silky because the sychronization with his body motion is phenomenal.

you see some Long Drivers cupping their wrists to gain more backswing length. It very much depends on how you back it up with the rest of your body. Best advice here is to see a good coach and figure it out

In the slow motion video of your swing it looked like the head was whipping before it got to the ball , is that good for speed or should it be timed so the ship motion happens at the ball instead of a few feet behind?

it very much depends on the shaft and your unloading pattern
