I am still shaking my head about the ridiculous claim by Peter Kostis on CBS’ Masters Saturday broadcast, claiming that top club head speed will occur well before impact, and if you still need proof of this, I have it below.
He showed a clip of Brooks Koepka, if you’ll remember, claiming that the analysis machine had B.K.’s top club head speed at 126 mph about 18″ or 45 cm before impact, and an actual club impact speed of 120 mph.
I am still waiting for conditions in this area to allow some good swinging and video-taking, but while doing so, I’ve been getting my swing muscles back into shape after a long season off (I haven’t hit a ball in about 9 months to date), and I discovered something surprising today.
I’ve been working on the speed aspect of the pivot, just trying to get raw speed with the SwingRite, and take a look at the top position of my absolute fastest swings through the bottom:
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier with Modern Golf Swing concepts and junk science, I saw something this weekend that literally had me shaking my head and laughing during the segment.
I had actually forgotten about it, so silly was the premise, but Walter brought it back to mind yesterday in a comment.

If you are wondering how to build your speed and power in a golf swing, the solution does not necessarily lie in the gym and building more muscle.
That is something you need to do if your swing is not mechanically-correct and you would rather go that route instead of simply improving your technique.
This is something I keep seeing in instructional videos on TV.
Why are you throwing the club at the target? Is the ball anywhere near that release point?
NO, it’s NOT…
