Description

Stop wasting your time with speed sticks and air swings. In this episode, we break down the biggest speed training myths and show you what actually works — with real stories, data, and insights from our work with Fast Eddie and tour-level players.

Most golfers want to swing faster. But are you training for speed the right way… or sabotaging your swing without realizing it? We dig into why swinging at air doesn’t transfer to real-world results — and how it’s silently wrecking swings across all skill levels.

You'll hear how tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Aldrich Potgieter gain speed while maintaining accuracy, why contact-based training is a must, and how our H.I.I.T.S Driver is changing the game with a safer, smarter way to add yards without injury.

If you’ve ever used a speed stick or wondered why your training hasn’t translated to longer drives, this is a must-watch.

👀 In this episode:

  • Why most speed training programs fail
  • The injuries no one talks about from swinging at air
  • How real speed translates to performance
  • What makes the H.I.I.T.S Driver different
  • Why hitting a ball is crucial for speed training transfer
