THIS is how I added 22 MPH to my fastest golf swing… ⚡️

If your swing feels slow and sluggish through the ball, you might be missing one of the most important ingredients for creating speed.

SEPARATION.

Most golfers allow their arms, club and body to move together during the downswing.

And when that happens, they miss the opportunity to create the stretch and torque that can help accelerate the club.

But watch what happens with the fastest players…

As the body begins to unwind towards the target, the arms and club remain further behind.

This creates an opposing action between the body and the arms.

And that’s where things get interesting! ⚡️

The separation creates the opportunity to load the club before releasing it at tremendous speed through impact.

It’s not about holding lag.

It’s not about simply turning your hips faster.

And it’s certainly not about swinging harder.

It’s about creating speed-producing movements and putting them together in the correct sequence.

Learning to create this separation was a huge part of how I increased my fastest swing from 109 mph to 131 mph.

And it’s something you can start working on in your own swing.

This is how I added 22 mph of speed 💪

Most golfers will never create real whip in the golf swing…
and it has nothing to do with lag, strength or flexibility.

The real secret is separation —
the club moving on one line…
while your body rotates on another.

When everything moves together, you lose:
❌ torque
❌ stored energy
❌ speed

But when the club drops inside and your body rotates open…
you create the stretch that produces:
✔️ whip
✔️ effortless speed
✔️ that “snap” through impact

This is the exact move that took me from 109 mph → 131 mph,
without swinging harder.

I teach the full sequence — plus the drills to master it —
inside Project 120 MPH.

If you want the inside approach, the rotation, the stretch…
and REAL speed — the link is in my profile.

Your swing will thank you. 🏌️‍♂️⚡️

Want to create more POWER from the ground? Watch Rory McIlroy! ⚡️

One of the things Rory does exceptionally well is how he shifts his pressure throughout the golf swing.

And it starts much earlier than most golfers realise.

First, he shifts into his trail side.

During the early backswing, Rory allows his pelvis to move slightly towards the trail leg, helping him load into that side.

Then comes the really important part…

Before he’s even completed his backswing, Rory begins to re-centre towards the target.

This means that by the time he reaches the top, he’s already preparing to move into his lead side.

And that sets up the explosive movement we see in the downswing.

As Rory moves into his lead leg, he pushes aggressively against the ground, helping him create rotation, vertical force and ultimately clubhead speed.

LOAD → RE-CENTRE → PUSH → SPEED. ⚡️

The important lesson?

Creating power from the ground isn’t just about pushing harder.

It’s about getting the sequence and timing right.

And Rory is one of the best examples you’ll ever see.

Gary Woodland doesn’t just swing FAST… Watch how he LOADS the club first! ⚡️

One of the biggest mistakes golfers make when trying to create more clubhead speed is thinking they need to release the club as early as possible.

But watch what happens when Gary Woodland changes direction.

Rather than immediately throwing the clubhead towards the ball, something quite different happens.

The angle between his lead arm and the clubshaft actually gets smaller.

In other words, he’s increasing his wrist hinge during the transition.

This movement is known as down-cocking, and it’s something we see in many of the longest hitters in golf.

Here’s why it’s so interesting…

By increasing the wrist hinge as the downswing begins, Woodland creates the opportunity to apply torque to the handle and accelerate the club later in the downswing.

But there’s an important distinction.

He’s not trying to HOLD lag all the way to impact.

He’s creating the conditions for an incredibly fast release.

And that’s where the clubhead really comes alive! ⚡️

It’s not just how much you load the club. It’s how effectively you release it.

THIS is how Angel Ayora LOADS the club for serious SPEED… ⚡️

Take a close look at Angel Ayora’s transition.

Notice what happens to the angle between his lead arm and the clubshaft as he changes direction.

Rather than immediately releasing the club, his lead wrist hinge actually increases.

This movement is known as down-cocking.

As his arms begin moving down, the angle between his lead arm and the clubshaft tightens, creating additional wrist hinge.

And here’s why that’s so important…

It gives him the opportunity to apply more torque to the handle and accelerate the club through the downswing.

But here’s the really important part…

He doesn’t just create lag. He RELEASES it! ⚡️

By increasing that wrist hinge in transition, he creates the potential for a powerful release as the club approaches impact.

LOAD → RELEASE → SPEED.

It’s a fantastic example of how the best players create and transfer speed through the golf swing.

THIS is how Dustin Johnson creates so much POWER through impact… ⚡️

Take a close look at Dustin Johnson’s body position as he approaches impact.

Notice how his lead shoulder, lead hip, lead knee and lead ankle form an almost straight line.

But here’s the interesting bit…

That entire line is tilted BACK behind the ball.

This is what I call left-side lean back.

Rather than allowing his upper body to move excessively towards the target, DJ shifts into his lead side while keeping his upper body behind the ball.

This creates a powerful impact position, helping him maintain his spine tilt, create room for the arms and club to release, and deliver the driver with a positive angle of attack.

And importantly, he’s not hanging back on his trail leg.

His pressure has moved into the lead side while his upper body remains behind the ball.

It’s a fantastic example of how the best drivers combine lateral movement, rotation and tilt to create speed and efficient launch conditions. ⚡️

Most golfers focus on the release.

Fast players focus on what happens before it.

The biggest difference I see with high-speed players isn’t what they do at impact —
it’s how they load rotational torque in transition.

They increase wrist hinge as they start down,
create space for the club to rotate about the hands,
and then let that stored load release naturally.

That’s what drives explosive shaft speed
and why copying impact positions alone rarely adds distance.

If you want more speed, don’t chase the release.
Learn how to load it properly first.

👉 Project 120 MPH breaks this down step by step —
how to load the club, sequence it correctly, and turn that into real clubhead speed.

This is what real snap looks like.

Not effort.
Not strength.
Not forcing speed.

It’s separation —
the club working on one line while the body rotates on another.

You practise your golf swing… But do you actually TRAIN your speed? ⚡️

Most golfers spend years working on their technique but very little time following a structured plan to increase clubhead speed.

And there’s a big difference.

If you want to become a faster golfer, you need to actually train for it.

That’s why I created Project 120 MPH.

A structured 6-week speed training programme designed to help you build more clubhead speed and ultimately hit the ball further.
