- How to increase your golf swing speed with Mark Crossfield. With modern golf clubs all using aerodynamics as selling points to help you increase your club head speed in your golf swing Mark and the gang challenge this idea to see just how much it really makes a difference to the everyday golfer. To increase your club head speed in golf allows for longer drives and golf shots so you can see why it is such a selling point for golf clubs manufactures but does it really make that much of a difference to your swing speed and ability to hit the golf ball further.

What myth would you want us to test next peoples?
New wedge vs old wedge. Is there really a huge difference in backspin?
My wedges are wrecked yet am still able to get good control, with a premium ball, of course.
So let's see if you can debunk the myth
Your take on any of these would be interesting Prof' ! documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A8d2a1415-2ded-467a-b36c-c90e3f000a98
Driver shaft length
New versus old clubs where all else is equal (i.e. loft). Eye 2 vs modern irons. 15 year old drivers vs new. Original ProV1 vs new model (ball goes too far - fact or myth).
How about these myths and legends?Dan can get up? Coach eats all food not just fish based products? Lester's Minceness? Existence of Aliens? Brexit? 😂👍
That's the first stormtrooper I've ever seen hit target 🙃
This could possibly be the most entertaining golf test parameters I’ve witnessed😂
At a time when most content on here is somewhat stale and rehashed this is both innovative and fun. Nice to see!
You can just hear Dan saying "When you put it down at the ball it's not pleasing to my eye"
“I think the snowman adds just a tad bit of offset”
“Lets get stuck in” - never been more relevant. How could you forget it? 🤷🏻♂️
This is quite possibly THE best golf equipment video ever!!!! On a serious note, a flat face isn't very aerodynamic. Try a driver and 3 wood with the same length shaft and see what club head speed you get. There's less air resistance with a 3 wood because of it's smaller face. Many golfers can hit their 3 wood just as far as their driver yet it's shorter and has more loft.
I remember when the first Big Bertha drivers came out. Every time I tried to swing it, the moment the clubface started to close on the downswing, it felt like somebody slammed on the brakes. Just couldn't generate the speed I could with a smaller headed driver. But this was fun to watch!! Y'all are just a bunch of little kids in grown-ups bodies!! LOL! Keep up the good work!!
Haha best golfvideo test/review for a long long time, funny but yet serious and clever. Love it Parfield, thanks for all your vids
This is why The Muppets should have their own series on The Golf Channel !!! BEST TH-cam CHANNEL EVER !!!!!! WOHOO !!!!!!!
I've just been out for Thursday night beers with a mate (as you do) and coming home to watch Mark test a driver with paper glued on in for 'aerodynamic purposes' tops it off! Love this channel!
THE FORCE HELD HIM ON!
Man I man what a classic. You are literally going to explode heads 🤯🤯. Please never stop making videos. Keep it up bruh.
This is so ace. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the marketing meetings at certain companies tomorrow, your name will be mud!
Hat is still on thanks to some super glue! That was quality entertainment while delivering a quality message as always! Wasn’t sure what you were up to this morning with the Instagram post, but knew I’d enjoy it 👍🏻
Possible my favourite ever video. Love to see you all obviously finding it rediculous.
Absolutely hilarious, love it. Just in time for the 2020 Orlando Show
I’m an aircraft technician and understand aerodynamics and stuff, but the club face is the most un-aerodynamic aspect of the club, love the fact the paper stayed on. Off to the garage now to glue some nuts and bolts on my driver, PXG look a like.
Auction the club off for charity Mark
Storm trooper is so aerodynamic!
Love the ideas. A driver head is the lease aerodynamic thing on earth, a big flat oval resisting any swing put on it! Try just swinging the shaft on it's own then you will get some speed differences!
I've been sitting out in the garden laughing my ass off at this video. Neighbours must think I'm crazy! 😂
What you actually don't know, and this is somewhat hysterical but true, is did sticking things on the club make it more aerodynamic? I say this somewhat in jest, but 'smooth' surfaces are NOT the most aerodynamic - thus the dimples on golf balls - whereby increasing the turbulence actually makes it faster through a fluid. If you take an extreme example, such as an underwater supersonic torpedo, extreme turbulence is actually introduced in front of the torpedo so that the torpedo can travel through the turbulence and not the water - a similar effect was long ago discovered by Olympic Canoeists whereby they secretly made the texture of their canoes look like golf balls and they were much faster - it was ultimately outlawed. You laugh at this stuff, but go try and hit a golf ball that doesn't have any dimples and see how far it goes - it is almost impossible to hit it further than 150 yards.
Paul O'Neil dimples on the club too simple?
@@seanpeacock5595 more suttle: the Dark Force will part the air in front of the club...
@@seanpeacock5595 Anything's possible I guess. The thing to remember about aerodynamics is that it's a Cubic effect - and this effect really explodes in consequence about 60mph through air. If you want to see this in action, drive your car on the highway at 50mph and watch the liters / 100km on the dash show you the live data. Bring your speed up to 60, then 70 and then 80 (don't get arrested). You will see the massive decrease in fuel efficiency as you move above 60-65mph. The same is also true on a race track where you will watch an F1 car take a slow hair pin 45mph corner at the exact same speed that a road going sports car can do it at (no aero downforce effect) and then how they can do a 4.5G corner at 190mph (3Gs being Aero). And that brings us back to golf. For normal people, the club head is not spending that much time above 60mph being truly affected by aero - but the faster you swing (world long driving guys) the more effect there is - but still it isn't that big because of the tiny amount of time that subtle aero effects have to help acceleration. Far, far, far, far more important is getting a 1700-2200rpm spinning, 13-14 degree launching driver, and the technique to repeatedly launch a ball with these numbers, because it is the ball that is spending 6+ seconds at 150-180mph speeds where aero is everything.
Paul I think dimples on a golf ball are more about keeping it straight and in the air more than about the speed it travels. But I agree with you about the rougher surfaces travelling faster at these sorts of speeds. Hence why fast bowlers shine up one side (the slower side) of the ball to make it move in the air. At faster speeds it doesn’t make much of a difference (that’s why you don’t see dimples or rough surfaces on aircraft wings because of something called boundary layer effect).
The best club test I have ever seen
The future of club design!!
I'm at 4:26 and this is already the best golf video I have ever watched!!!
Cool video. I’ve swung my driver around 90-95mph for as long as I can remember. I went for a driver fitting today to see if a lighter driver would increase my club head speed. This was the first time I’ve been on a launch monitor since I had a lesson and started doing regular gym work. Today I was swing 100mph with my own driver and getting the best numbers I’ve ever had. So I didn’t buy a new driver and I’m definitely going to persevere with the gym and the lessons to increase my speed.
Good laughs guys and well done the storm trooper - excellent shooting and glad to see 262 back again - normality restored!!!
New sponsorship deal with super glue?
“Stick with crossfield and your game will improve.”
“I had 3 lessons with mark, and now I stick the pin every time!”
“Got issues with your face twisting? Super glue will hold it still”
Beautifully tongue in cheek at times ....... love coach’s quote of sitting on the fence... the Callaway ambassador!!! Lol 😂....... but in all seriousness you must keep challenging the big boys and there unbelievable tag lines for there new products year after year ......... you could be the people’s champion regarding this matter so don’t ever change bruh 👍👍👍👍
Just caught up with this video, funny and thought provoking. Waiting with bated breath for the 2020 Ping Skywalker driver, 10% faster than the old Storm Trooper!
It’s interesting that they discovered the box shaped fish is the most efficient swimmer it’s shaped causes the water to push it forward as the water goes around it, so they experimented with cars but I don’t think there will be a lot of rectangular drivers out there anytime soon! Fun and good video 👍👍
Am I to easily entertained? This Brilliant, brilliant brilliant!!
Love how your always challenging the subject
Great test guys..
Cheers to you to realize the psychological part of swinging that club with all the figures on it. Like when you practice putting and then Grab another putter to practice and do better with the second one. Is the second one better or do you just know the line and speed better?
Priceless mate. The line "it does look good" is as funny a line as I have heard in a while. Dan saying "the paper would put me off" is right up there, however. Brilliant.
Easily the funniest serious test I have ever seen. We are going to need bigger head covers to accommodate our new driving mascots. I am going to glue on Olaf to remind me to play "Frozen" golf. "Let it go ... Let it go..."
Probably the most interesting and innovative swing speed video I've seen as well as entertaining. Impressed that you have Rawl plugs. If you send me the club, I would refurbish it in my shop. All the best.
Even if the wind resistance might be minimal but it's just like a race car changing the aerodynamics a touch it might only make point something to a lap time which isn't much over one lap but it will make a difference between winning and losing a race.
So the tiny difference it makes with a golf club might not seem like much but if it's only two yards longer that number could put you right on a club that you're comfortable withand being mentally more comfortable could mean the difference between a par or birdie.
My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that the aerodynamics can increase club head speed by at most 1%. This also means that the slower you swing the less effect you'll see. It also allows the club makers to say up to 1.5 MPH faster, but of course that's only if you swing like Cameron Champ.
Wind resistance is basically cross sectional area times by fiddle factor. In the days of small wooden woods, the air resistance was almost certainly less than much larger modern drivers. Secondly, air resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity. So slow swinging amateurs will benefit much less than fast swinging pros. 80x80 =6400, 120x120= 14400. 14400 / 6400 = 2.25.
I want a storm trooper on my driver now. Was that the point of this!
Andrew Brown brilliant
Clone* trooper
Very informative, but one of your best videos in the weirdest way.
You should have used 'No More Nails' Brahs, you could of attached a brick to the Driver ;) That was so funny, you guys have really stepped up the quality in all departments over the last few months.
If the club companies strike Mark down He shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
Paused. Without seeing anything yet...YES PLEASE! more of this type of testing....now glue yoda to the top of that club and give him a ride
another great video. Well done
Next year's club release, the "Ping Stormtrooper" complete with laser aiming aids. Acetone or nail polish remover will soften the super glue, if you want to clean up the mess around the stormtrooper.
Hahah more tests like this 😅 Loved it!
Because it is easy to work with put varying amounts of blutack on a driver head and in different positions. 10 grams on top middle of the crown, 30 grams split in 2 on crown heel and sole toe, wherever takes your fancy. That way you can easily mess with aerodynamics and CG.
Another episode of comedy gold from Mark and the gang - hilarious stuff boys
Brilliant, love this stuff. I think you could market those drivers 😂 loving the noise of the paper it’s creasing me every time
Hilarious video! You guys must have been smoking grass with this idea and all the laughter
Tour players do a huge amount of resistance training , you need to increase your fast twitch muscle fibres , you need to train your body in the gym , no club has better aerodynamics over another , club head speed is created through good technique which you had but you need to recruit more muscle fibres fast twitch ones , you need to do like med ball throws / slams , heavy lifts , get more explosive as tiger woods would say
Really entertaining but if you want to reduce aerodynamics then a parachute on the club would slow head? How about a spoiler or a rudder that could be adjusted to impact face direction in all the different planes???
Great, entertaining video 👏👏👏👏
I think what is also forgotten is aerodynamics is usually used and tested in a straight line or path. The club head changes axis and direction throughout the swing. So really ifs aload of old BS!
Great vid as always 👍🏼
A long time ago at a golf club..
..far..far..away..
A young'ish man awoke the force
And behold the rise of Parfield!.......
.......took down the Tec Empire...
🤔🤯
Dan said it best when he said "...subject to strike." If you can't center the ball and keep it straight, no technology can help you. Your club head speed is 99.99% determined by how hard you swing, not how your clubs "slice through the air". I play with people who swing harder, have faster ball speed, and hit it further, when they hit it perfectly. I avg longer than they do because I hit it more consistently solid and straight. Haven't bought new clubs in 10 years because I just don't think I'll gain that much versus the cost.
Do u have access to an iron Byron? You could then see if the club head changes, couldn’t you?
Are more aerodynamic drivers easier to strike? Because if they have less turbulence would they fly straighter (dropped sheet of paper vs a scrunched up ball)? No idea, I don't think i'd notice either way.
You Glue sniffer, great experiment :-) what is it Kinetic energy- 1/2MV^2 ( ie speed increase KE as V^2 why it matters so much) but increase M does increase KE so you gain a little back there maybe ?
Energy equals mass x acceleration minus a factor for aerodynamic drag. Would the mass added by the figures change the mass hence energy ?
I think to get a fair test for the tubulators you need to take them off with an angle grinder. Could be the start of your new DIY channel as well.
(get coach to do it)
The thing they won’t mention is that, no matter how well they get the airflow to move around the club head, the actual face is the thing that hits the air first and that’s a solid construction traveling at 90 degrees to the airflow meaning that you’ll all but cancel out any speed gained with a nice clean airflow after this point.
I never have understood how adding something to the top of the club, ie turbulators, could speed it up. I can see how maybe it would keep the club from twisting, a little, but not increase speed.
Absolutely brilliant Mark, couldn't stop laughing and on top of that educational too. Keep it up bruh 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😂
Great video!
How about smaller clubhead drivers vs oversized clubheads? 360cc vs 460cc? What's the speed test on those?
Good video! It seems to me that marketing about better aerodynamics and faster ball speed are just a bunch of ad hype.
You'll do anything to get 262 bruh.!!.. like the army members helping out..!. Love the test and the speed will be from weight of club.. that's it.. great vid guys xx
And,where exactly does one get those tiny stormtroopers from? Plus, would a tiny Yoda make the club swing more in tune with The Force?
Haha
Fun video lmao 😂 love the additions to driver
This is awesome.
Hi Mark. HOW WILL YOU CLEAN THIS DRIVER HEAD WITH ALL THAT GLUE ON IT !!!!!! :) That was my first question when i saw your test. But it was fun, thank you for all of your vidéos. See you.
Be carefull Club manufacturers will sense this disturbance as a move to the dark side of the force.
In January we'll have a brace of new drivers from the dark side, the callaway epic death star, the ping galaxy far far away, the mizuno sith, the Cleveland turbo blaster, and the cobra vader. All guaranteed to add 12 parsecs to your swing speed.
Mark how about testing some of the gimmicky clubs advertised on you tube such as the square strike wedge
Too good fellows!! Keep it up 😂
You should do a giveaway for this driver now lol...interesting test as well 👍🏻
Now shafts are graphite why are they still round in section and not an aerofoil? Surely that would make more difference than a couple of little stripes on a clubhead?
Callaway epic drivers had an aerodynamic thingy on the top but the epic flash doesn’t. Did it stop working? I’d like an answer from Callaway please.
A rainy day video? Could see the point but not sure one of your best
😂 class test! I have the Luke Skywalker to your Stormtrooper. Surely if I glue him to my TS3 I will gain down force
OMG Mark I can't stop laughing what a creative ideas to check speed tech claims by all big golf clubs company
Lovely clickbate title.....
And one of the best TH-cam videos of the year. 👍
How about testing different tee pegs and the claims that some will give you more distance ???
Great video Mark, I like that you guys dare to Challenge the marketing presented by the manufures of these new Technology wonders designed 😉
I thought ‘this is ridiculous’ initially. Then I couldn’t stop laughing. Then I remembered how I’d previously thought ‘turbulators’ were ridiculous (my job involves the study of aerodynamics) as I thought there’s no way they could make any difference to something moving at such relatively slow speed (as opposed to say, an aircraft propeller or helicopter rotor blade for example) given the small size of the turbulators and something called ‘boundary layer effect’. Then I read a ‘scientific study’, probably commissioned by Ping, on the internet (yeah, I know!) which stated basically that turbulators increase clubhead speed by approximately 2 mph for a 100mph swing speed.
Then I watched this. Brilliant. I’m not an idiot after all.
"Then I watched this. Brilliant. I’m not an idiot after all."
Well, you might be, a broken clock is right twice a day
seth1455 ha ha. That’s true.
My coworkers and I have been messing with the swing trainers and my coworkers have seen an increase in speed but I have seen increase in averages. I think it’s partially reactive but also it’s like any other work out you get stronger
Your are always bang on the reality of equipment. Don’t believe the jargon
It would be interesting to see what the various marketing departments could come up with to sell that driver.
@4:55 Beloved @AskDan , that is incorrect! 6 yadaz is clearly due to the force!! Not strike 🤗🤗
I hope some of the companies tech/designer guys watch this. Surely there has to be a driver come out in the future with a Storm Trooper theme. 'Light years ahead of it's time - Let the Force be with you'.
The surface of the face is not aerodynamic at all because it is flat to the air it is travelling through at all times when it is moving on the downswing. Behind the clubface is not aerodynamic either, because it is merely shaped the way it is to reduce the drag caused by the clubface disturbing the air in front of it as it passes through. Reducing drag is not always a way of making something more aerodynamic. If you really wanted an aerodynamic club head shape then you would have to turn the head around and use the cone effect to pierce the air it is travelling through. Smaller clubheads in drivers will be more aerodynamic because there is less volume / clubface travelling through the air. The same club could be given to 2 different golfers of equal ability, but with different staturess (let's say one is 5ft6in and the other is 6ft6in), and the taller could generate more clubhead speed because of the wider arc it is moving through, but it may also be less aerodynamically efficient due to the greater arc of travel at the same time. The shorter golfer would be more restricted in clubhead speed by having a shorter arc because of their shorter arms, and it would compound the aerodynamic efficiency because of this slower, shorter arc. Goodnight.
EXCELLENT point, they are all 'aerodynamic' but I do think it was a Jedi mind trick that wouldn't work on if you'd used Twist Face technology. haha.
Best laugh I've had all week, but after seeing this do not Know whether I would trust you for a custom fit gluing the shafts into heads.
Where are you filming from.
Love this!! 😂
I always thought the aerodynamics thing was a load of tosh. If I was swinging at 700mph then perhaps I’d notice a difference.
Clue- if Jack Nicklaus never worried about it, then it’s probably not that important.
2 thoughts: 1) get the patent for "Storm trooper driver"... this is awesome. 2) clearly you have " no golf winter cabin fever" and Mark has lost the plot 😊
As air resistance is squared with speed it will make a difference, at around 200mph.....
love it!
