You wanna know how to swing that stick faster? Well, you come to the right place. This old gal knows a thing or two about swinging, though these days it’s more about swinging a broom than a golf club. But the idea, it’s the same, I reckon. Gotta put your whole body into it. Increase swing speed, that’s what you young folks call it, right?
First thing’s first, you gotta be strong. Not like those fancy gym folks, all show and no go. You need real strength, like lifting bales of hay or carrying buckets of water from the well. That’s the kind of strong that helps you swing faster.
Now, I see these young’uns with their fancy exercises. They twist and they turn, and they got all sorts of contraptions to help them. Back in my day, we didn’t have none of that. We just swung. But I guess times have changed. So here’s what I gathered from watchin’ them and listenin’ to their chatter.
One thing they say is to swing somethin’ heavy. Like a weighted club, you know? They say it makes you stronger, helps you increase your club head speed. Makes sense, I suppose. Like when I used to swing that old axe to chop wood. The heavier the axe, the harder you swing, and the faster that wood splits.
Here are some things you can do, they ain’t fancy, but they work:
- Swing a weighted club: They say to swing it hard, but don’t go crazy. Keep your balance, they say. Like dancing with a feller that’s a bit too heavy, you gotta keep your feet.
- Throw a heavy ball: They use those big rubber balls, like the ones you see at the doctor’s. Throw it at the wall, throw it on the ground. They say it’s like the swingin’ motion. Keeps you limber, I reckon.
- Lift heavy things: Not just anythin’, but big things. They got names for it, like “squats” and “deadlifts.” Sounds silly to me, but they say it makes you strong all over. And that helps you get more swing speed.
Another thing is, you gotta be limber. Like a willow branch, not a stiff old oak. You gotta be able to bend and twist. I see them doin’ stretches, like tryin’ to touch their toes and twistin’ their backs like a pretzel. Don’t know how they do it, but it seems to help them swing that club real fast. Maybe do some yoga, or some kinda thing, to improve your mobility. Whatever it is, to improve swing speed, you need to be flexible.
And don’t forget to practice! You can’t just do these things once and expect to be swingin’ like a pro. You gotta do it regular, like chores. Every day, or at least most days, you gotta work at it. Swing speed drills, they call them. Just like I used to practice churnin’ butter till my arms were sore. It’s the only way to get better.
Now, they got all sorts of fancy equipment these days. Special clubs, special shoes, even special gloves. I don’t know much about all that. Back in my day, we just used what we had. But I guess if you got the money, and you think it helps, then go for it. Just remember, it ain’t the equipment that makes you good, it’s the work you put in. You can have the fanciest club in the world, but if you don’t know how to swing it, it ain’t gonna do you no good. To get better golf swing speed, you need to put in the effort.
So, there you have it. My two cents on how to increase swing speed. It ain’t rocket science, as they say. Just good old-fashioned hard work. Be strong, be limber, and practice, practice, practice. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be swingin’ that club like a champ. Or at least, a little bit faster than you are now.
Remember, even a little increase is good. You keep doing that, then you will see a big difference. And don’t hurt yourself. Listen to your body. It will tell you if you do too much. You are not a young chicken anymore, you know. But you are not too old to learn new things, to get a faster swing speed. Just take it easy at first.
Don’t you ever give up on yourself, keep up the good work. That’s all I wanted to say. Now I gotta go, got some chores to do around here. Hope this helps you young folks out. Good luck with your swingin’!
