Q & A

What is the goal of the speed training session?

The goal is to increase Grant's ball speed from an average of 167 mph to 175 mph.

Why is it important to speed train every once in a while?

Speed training helps push past your current limits to reach a new level. Then you can hone in your swing at that higher speed.

What is effortless speed?

Effortless speed is being able to swing fast while making it look and feel smooth rather than forced.

Why does Grant hit the ball straighter when swinging harder?

The stiffer shaft kicks more consistently at higher speeds which helps square the clubface.

How can Grant increase his clubhead speed?

Turning his body faster through impact, letting his hands fly through faster, and using a longer backswing.

What disclaimer does Bryson give at the end?

Make sure to take care of your body with things like going to the gym, seeing a physical therapist, and getting massages before intense training.

What does Grant need to work on based on the session?

He needs to train his fast twitch muscles and push past his current neurological limits to reach faster clubhead speeds.

Why does Grant never swing hard normally?

He doesn't like to swing aggressively as it negatively impacts his ball striking and consistency.

What drills help with creating speed?

Trying different movements to get the clubhead moving faster through impact, like turning the body faster or letting the hands release faster.

How can you maintain swing consistency at higher speeds?

Once you build speed, you need to hone it in and ingrain that faster speed into your natural swing DNA.
