Have you ever met someone that puts all their power and effort into every swing? They might hit some spectacular drives that soar down the fairway. The problem is that they might also land their ball in trouble. Golf courses are full of dangerous lies. You will encounter water, trees, sand, and numerous other obstacles that you do not want to land behind or in. It is more important that you are consistent and accurate, then powerful. 

Your golf swing speed plays a big part in this. If you swing to fast you will be likely to hook your ball. Also, if you swing to slow, you might get lazy and open up the face of your club so you push the ball. So what is the correct golf swing speed

You want to be comfortable with your swing. Let the club do the work. It should feel natural, and unforced. Practice your swing before you get to a golf course so that you can feel comfortable with all of your clubs. 

If you have to sacrifice a few yards off of your drive to hit the ball consistently straight then do it, you will be glad you did. If you need help on finding the correct speed then you should pick up a golf swing aid. 

One popular aid that can help you work on your golf swing speed is a speedometer. Do not try to increase your speed until you have a consistent swing. You might have a different speed for your different clubs. This is ok. Your driver is a heavier club then your irons. The more comfortable that you can get with your golf swing speed, the better golf player you will become.

Why Is My Golf Swing Speed Important?

Posted by Rob Jeffries

Because golf is in many ways a man’s sport, there is a certain macho aspect to it. Men appreciate other men who hit the ball long and hard and straight and don’t really pay much attention to the players who use finesse and guile to get the ball in the hole. They think better of a player who drives 300 yards than they do someone who shoots 70. That’s just the way it is. 

If you want to be one of the guys who drives it 300 yards, then you have to increase your golf swing speed – there is just no way about it. But, that doesn’t mean that you have to go in hyper-mode throughout your entire swing. If you watch any of the pro golfers, their backswing is not fast, it is slow and deliberate, but they accelerate through the swing at such a speed that you can hear the club whip through the air. When you watch their swing in slow motion, you can actually see their club arcing, as the force bends the shaft. 

Your golf swing speed in part determines the flight of your ball. However, that doesn’t mean that the guy with the fastest swing will hit it the furthest! There is much more to it than that. You have to be able to make perfect contact with the ball, hitting it on the sweet spot and making contact with just the right part of the club. Any variation and you will not be successful. 

Golf swing speed can be measured in most of the larger sporting goods stores. They will be able to measure your swing speed at the fastest point, which should be just when you make contact. From that information, you should be able to determine the type of shafts and balls you should play.
