Try this Tommy Fleetwood move to hit the ball further.
Does the swing fan help you increase your clubhead speed and distance? In this video I put the swing fan through a test to see if this training aid l help you. Alongside the test, I show you a drill you can use to help you get better results from the fan. Using this drill can help change your ground reaction forces, which are what help to increase that clubhead speed and distance.
First we collect some baseline data to understand what my current clubhead speed is. I do this using a Trackman and hit 4 balls using a driver. I then use the golf force plates to show you difference between swing the fan like you would a club and the drill we do using the fan.
Following the drill I then retest with 5 balls to see if my distance and clubhead speed have increased, as it is claimed the fan will do.
If you have a swing fan yourself, try this testing and drill to see how it can help you improve your golf swing. Let me know in the comments how you get on or what you think to the fan.

Does this Pádraig Harrington Golf Tip Work?
มุมมอง 4.9Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Pádraig Harrington uses the Superspeed Squeeze to help improve his grip strength, which is important to help stabilise the club face through impact. Although the tool is not specifically designed by Superspeed for this purpose, he has found a benefit from hitting shots with it. In this video I put this into practise by testing out the benefits of hitting whilst using the squeeze. I compare my b...

Foam Rolling Routine for Golfers
มุมมอง 18621 วันที่ผ่านมา
I take you through key areas of the body that golfers would benefit from foam rolling. Foam rolling will help to reduce stiffness and move better in the golf swing. This is done by de-sensitising the muscles, decreasing the body's perception of pain and relaxing the muscle, which can improve flexibility. Work on each muscle on both sides for up to 60 seconds. You can follow along with the video...

Secrets to Golf Speed Training : 10 KEY Rules
No sound dude.
I think it must be your end as the audio is fine our end.
That’s really interesting, particularly as you describe that working with training aids and drills may take ‘time to transfer’. Knowing that an outcome may be the sequence being thrown out, even temporarily, needs to be reflected in when and how you practice and how you assess the shots that follow. Thank you 🙏
Very helpful
I tried it, skulled that ball right over the green.
🫣 keep practicing
Your videos are sensational Sam!
Thanks John, the feedback is really appreciated.
Useful. At 4.42 you refer to ' this video here' , but there isn't a link ?
Hi Steve, can you try again as it is showing up now.
@@svgolfperformanceyes see it now thanks
Great video Sam. Does the Downshift Board help with early extension? Thanks
Great question. In short, it can and often does. However, the main cause of EE is how the hands and club are moving in transition, so this has to be connected and develop with a better pressure shift for you to stop the movement. I've a video come out soon that Will explain this in more detail.
Great video, keep these coming, helping my swing go from strength to strength
Very useful illustration of how to test at home pressure vs mass shift!
Nope I don't need it, just want it
Another precisely described effective drill for increasing clubhead speed using both the upper body and lower body simultaneously. This is gold people.
Thanks again for the support David
8:55 This is one of the best golf instructional videos I have seen over the past 50 years. I expect anyone who follows Mr. Vickers’ approach, or better yet, takes instruction from him, will very quickly lower their handicap if they have normal coordination! Well done sir!
Thank you David for your kind words. I hope it helps and you enjoy my channel.
Great video thanks from a 70 year old
Thanks, I'm pleased you like it 🙏
That’s amazing 😮
@@lynnexley very impressive results
Thank you :)
If you're going to do this you need to learn the rule of 12. It's pretty easy to learn.
Tell me more?
What weight?
Naturally, it depends on your strength and training experience. I'd suggest trying with a KB under 10kg first and go from there.
Thanks!
I hope it helps
What happened to the rest of the video
Full video here 😋 th-cam.com/video/H3cIU6hhd00/w-d-xo.html
Best swing on TH-cam for me
Don't tell Bryson 😅
Just started watching I think paddy 👍⛳️
My swing is great when I don't have a ball in front of me.
I see this a lot with golfers of all levels. In my experience, this can often be because the golfer is moving with different ground force when there is a ball there which completely changes their swing movement. This suggests that the intention and practise drill/feel isn't right for what they are intending to improve.
The force plate data and graphs are very helpful for both coach and client. It makes it easier to identify what needs work and which drill can help. Then in the follow up session there will be clear evidence that the work done has been effective by comparing the stats. The ball doesn’t always tell the whole story but the stats don’t lie. I recommend booking a session with Sam to see what your graph looks like, so you are working on the right stuff 👍
🙏
Thanks I’m at top gold right now so I can use this
I hope it helps
The missing info is what iron is used. 7, 8, 9 or even a Pw. People posting instructions should realize for what audiences do you make the instruction and be complete.
The focus is on the action that creates the launch and spin being different to a standard lofted shot. The aim here is to play around with this to find what works best for the individual.
Totally agree! I almost have this move, it’s taken quite a long time. I’m slightly off balance in the finish so need to get back up and out of the ground more quickly and more vertically. With club in hand it’s adding 30yds !! Great work Sam👏. Now I just have to…… 1. Convince my PGA coach that THIS is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in my swing now 2. Prepare for a round more effectively so I can access this in the first few holes rather than half way round 🥴.
Great work Lynn. I agree on point 2 but if you're having to convince your coach with point 1, then it's the wrong way around 😅
@@svgolfperformance Agree with that too 👍
Thanks Sam, great content. What weight medicine/slam ball would you recommend to maintain the effectiveness of the drill? I have an 8kg slam ball but not sure if I'm a bit optimistic at age 69 and perhaps should go lighter.
A good rule of thumb is 5% your bodyweight. 8kg is quite heavy for most people, however, sometimes when the ball is heavier, this does promote using the ground more effectively because you can't just use your arms like you could with a lighter ball. I hope that helps 😁
@@svgolfperformance Ok thanks Sam.
I think his landing on the box is not correct. Hé is landing on a flat foot and not amortising thé shock.
@zehravigna4873 that is the exact purpose of utilising the box, to significantly reduce any landing force based on not landing from any forceful height. Naturally this type of landing wouldn't be coached if landing on the floor instead
Amazing tool, surely a game changer for everyone!
They are already helping many players make positive change
look forward to this

@@svgolfperformance Perfect cheers
So the decision making process relating to the approach shot is key here? You are taking everything into account having done homework and knowing your ability and you base your approach shot, target and club selection on your best chance of the zero or lowest number miss possible?
In essence yes. Naturally this will often mean aiming towards the middle of a green often but this will help you gain more on the hole. On the whole, just hitting more greens in regulation is key to lower scores, regardless if you're 40ft away. Then when you do miss, it's trying not to leave yourself no green to work as getting down in a maximum of 3 shots will increase significantly.
Thank you. Medal today so will give this some consideration when making approach shot decisions, the best choice being the one than best avoids finishing in the most costly place. Got it 👍.

@@sduke39 pleasure. I hope it helps your game in some capacity
So good to watch this following my On Course Strategy session with you. There is loads of shot saving information to take on board and it’s helpful to watch it a few times. The shot pattern app makes it easier to make good decisions, taking the emotion out and committing to the decision. Thanks Sam my handicap is finally coming down!
Great work Lynn. You're smashing it
I had a Course Strategy Session with Sam last week, 9 holes around The Bracken at Woodhall Spa. He’d recommended Shot Pattern app and I trust his judgement so had signed up the night before. The session itself was excellent, Sam really knows his stuff and explains it so well. Shot Pattern app visually supported what he was saying in terms of shot choice and target selection on each hole. He also gave so much great advice on other variables like lie and conditions and avoiding the big misses. I’ve used the app twice on my home course since and seen strokes gained jump up already! It’s changed my understanding of how to play the game. Inputting the round afterwards is easy and it’s mapped for the Red tees too! I have struggled for years with when or when not to use Driver and making these more informed decisions has given me the confidence I need to make the right choice and execute the shot. I can’t recommend a Course Strategy Session with Sam enough and the app is the best I’ve used by far. So much excellent data! Sam will be swimming in it 🤣. I will report the stats so that he has a much better understanding of what goes wrong on the course so what needs work. Thanks guys 🙏
Thanks for the review Lynn. You are smashing the strategy focus.
Awesome explanation, Sam!! This is gold!
Thanks and made all the better with your great app
This video is a great reminder of thinking strategy. I am definitely guilty of hitting my driver on holes where I have no chance of carrying the bunkers. I will try playing to avoid them next time I play. Should be good for short game practice !
Thanks Andree, I'm pleased you found it useful.
Looking forward to trying out this strategy, planning ahead to take those bunkers out of play will save lots of stress and shots!
I'm pleased you found it helpful Lynn. Let me know how you get on.
How can i fix this ? Cant get a full back swing due to my low should mobility
Key, improve you shoulder mobility through stretching and strengthening exercises. Then learn how to move better technically to get the benefits. Sign up to my Golf app where I'll guide you how to do all this on there. Just £11.99pm Www.svgolfperformance.co.uk
This is awesome, defently gonna test 🎉
Let me know how you get on
The 3rd exercise seems to be training a bad move - dipping in the backswing. Any thoughts?
Are you referring to the step in drill with the speedstick?
@@svgolfperformance yes. I do the drill a lot, but it’s hard to not dip into it, then lift/release out of it. Get the timing wrong and I fat it.
I think this video will really help you maximise the movement. Let me know your thoughts. th-cam.com/video/7ImhvfUb6ng/w-d-xo.html
Nice man, I’m stuck on 117
That's still impressive. Keep smashing it
Great song choice
What song
@@DavyDave1313 The song name is "Freaks" by Surf Curse.
That was really fun to watch 😂. Heather and bunkers very familiar to me on the Hotchkin. I think you deserve a rematch Tom for staying so cheerful throughout 😁. Good golf in that wind Sam!
18 hole rematch in the making 🤪
Is Tom really a 9 handicap? 😂
😅
Like a normal day up in Aberdeen :)
😅😅👏
Great video twos questions, what band you are using for the shifting and feeling pressure to top of backswing and the weight of the medicine ball. Thank You
Band is a GravityFit band but most normal gym resistance bands do the job, just can't be too strong. Med ball weight is can vary depending on strength but anywhere between 4-8kg
Can't wait to try this
Let me know how you get on
This swing demo is terrible. Away too much lumbar extension. Rubbish form
🫡
😂
For reference please, what name would you give the 3rd excercise?
Resistance band X-factor stretch fits the bill
