Your First Steps to Hitting the Ball Farther! Should you be working on speed or Distance?? and what’s the difference?? Everyone is talking speed these days, especially increasing your speeds. I’ve been on that train for oh… about 20 years now! And while I was one of the early adopters to drinking the speed kool […]
Blake is your typical 59 year old golfer, he’s had a surgery or two and in the last few years has lost some serious yardage on his drives. He found out about what I do, and was ready to give it a try. As a loyal reader, you know it all starts for me with […]
One of the keys to unlocking speed in the golfer is overcoming ‘gravity’. As a speed coach, sometimes my biggest opponent is what golfers do a lot: sit and look at a computer. Over time, the golfer loses their athleticism to daily life. The golfer forgets that golf is a sport and swinging a golf […]
Here is a very basic program I put together for a father and son and they both picked up about 4-6 mph of club speed in around an hour. They are going to do this program 3x per week and we will see what happens to their speed! WARM UP Bands Around Knees side to […]

Ho hum, another golfer picked up 20 yards going thru the Tour Tempo Speed Training program. In this particular case, ‘another golfer’ just happens to be the PGA Tour Player, Chris Thompson, who already possesses good speed and a good swing. Note: the better the player, the better the swing, the more speed they have […]
Check out the phenomenal swing of the 2018 PGA Club Pro Champ, Ryan Vermeer. Ryan is going to be playing in a few PGA tour events this year and if he could add some speed to this beautiful swing, it will go a long way towards him making cuts. Currently on the PGA tour, there are 100 players that are at about 170 ball speed or higher!
Myth # 1: ’Low and Slow’ The main problem with ‘Low and Slow’ is: What does SLOW mean? SLOW is a relative term. What’s SLOW to a tour pro might be fast to you. Solution: use concepts that are definable and tangible…. you guessed it, the Tones of Tour Tempo are exactly that. By […]
