141. Distance Series: HOW Do You Gain Distance with Andrew Hannon

T-Time with Tori Totlis

Could your swing speed be holding you back? Join us for the second of our three-part distance series as Andrew Hannon and I uncover the essential steps to boosting your clubhead and ball speed.

We discuss why it’s crucial to work with a swing coach to create a technique plan and set baseline metrics like your smash factor. We also stress the importance of setting realistic goals and using radar tools or launch monitors, such as the PRGR, to track your progress. You’ll learn how integrating high-intensity practice sessions can push your limits and help enhance your speed.

Next, we talk training routines that can elevate your overall golf performance. Discover how to strategically blend gym workouts, short game practice, and speed training into your schedule for optimal results. We highlight the importance of balancing strength, mobility, and flexibility–and especially how these attributes impact female golfers.

Finally, we delve into various golf speed training techniques, starting with the "Three Strike Method" and a comprehensive 15-swing driver practice routine. You’ll understand the benefits of consistent, high-intensity practice on the range and how it translates to faster, more reliable swings on the course. We also explore the benefits of training barefoot to enhance foot and ankle mobility as championed by US Open winner Wyndham Clark.

Rounding things off, Andrew answers questions from our community, offering valuable advice to golfers at all levels!
