Golf Speed Training Program: Add MPH Without Losing Your Swing
Speed is valuable. But speed without control is just a longer walk into the trees. A good speed program increases clubhead speed while keeping strike quality, start line control, and your body healthy.

You need three baselines: normal swing speed, max intent swing speed, and on-course speed.
Step 2: Use Intent (and Measure It)
Speed training is intent plus feedback. Measure with radar, launch monitor, or speed sticks.
Step 3: Progressions That Protect Contact
You should keep reasonable start line and center-ish contact. If contact disappears, you're too aggressive.

Common Mistakes
- Speed training every day

How often should I do speed training?
Two sessions per week is a strong starting point for most golfers, with full recovery between sessions.
Does overspeed training work?
It can, especially when you measure speed and protect strike and start line with good progressions.
How do I gain speed without losing contact?
Use intent with feedback and keep your strike and start line in a stable window. Step down intensity if they collapse.
