Your club might be running out of runway. ⚡️

One of the biggest speed leaks I see is golfers simply not giving the club enough distance to accelerate.

The fastest players don’t just move faster…

They create a longer acceleration path.

A longer arm arc in the backswing.

Deeper hands in transition.

More runway for the club to build speed.

The result?

✔️ More arm speed
✔️ More clubhead speed
✔️ A better delivery into the ball

The goal isn’t to swing harder.

The goal is to give the club every opportunity to accelerate.

That’s one of the core principles we teach inside Project 120 MPH.

Your trail elbow isn’t the problem. What you’re doing with it after is. 🎯

Most golfers get told to “tuck the trail elbow” and stop there — but tucking is only half the move. The real speed comes from what happens next: that arm snapping straight through impact, like skimming a stone across water.

This is one of the 5 key movements that took my swing speed from 109 to 131 mph.

Most golfers think they need to get stronger to swing faster.

They don’t.

They just haven’t learned how to load the club properly in transition.

That’s where speed actually comes from.

The longest hitters don’t just swing harder…
they build pressure first, then release it.

If you get this right, speed becomes a lot easier.

If you want to build this into your swing, that’s exactly what I teach inside Project 120 MPH. Link in bio.

This is what 124.8 MPH looks like… ⚡️

Adam Scott producing 124.8 mph clubhead speed in this face-on swing.

Make no mistake, there is some serious intent here.

Big turn, athletic movement and an incredibly fast release through the ball.

At this level, you’re watching a player who has spent decades refining his golf swing still finding ways to produce serious speed.

Just a fantastic swing to watch. 👏

You’re not slow. You’re releasing your speed at the wrong moment. ⚡

If your practice swings are 4+ mph faster than your speeds with a ball, that’s the tell — you’re creating speed but losing it before impact.

Two fixes: stay in your trail side at setup (don’t get too far into your lead side too early), then tighten the wrist angles on the downswing and release fully through impact.

This is one of the key moves I teach inside the Lag and Release Accelerator, part of Project 120 MPH.

Here’s a swing video of Marcus Armitage. 👌

Smooth, balanced and effortless.

Just a seriously nice golf swing to watch. 👏

What a finish from J.J. Spaun… 🏆

Four birdies in his final five holes to close with a 67 and win the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth by two shots.

And what a golf swing. 👏

Smooth tempo, beautiful sequencing and absolutely no wasted movement.

It’s another great example that creating speed doesn’t have to mean looking like you’re swinging out of your shoes.

When the body, arms and club work together efficiently, speed can look effortless. ⚡️

Congratulations J.J. Spaun — BMW PGA Champion. 🏆

THIS swing is BUILT for SPEED… ⚡️

Niklas Nørgaard is one of the fastest players in professional golf — and when you look at his swing, you can see why.

He creates a huge turn and long arm arc, giving the hands plenty of distance to accelerate.

Then watch the change of direction.

He creates tremendous speed from the ground, shifts and clears aggressively, while the arms and club stay back long enough to create separation.

And then comes the important bit…

He releases it.

The speed he creates through the body is transferred into the arms and ultimately into the clubhead.

Big turn.
Long runway.
Ground force.
Separation.
Release. ⚡️

It’s a swing designed to create serious clubhead speed.

And these are exactly the types of speed-producing movements we work on inside Project 120 MPH.

Golfers spend so much time trying to turn their hips and torso faster…

But if you want more clubhead speed, there’s another piece of the puzzle you can’t ignore:

Lead arm speed. ⚡️

The goal isn’t simply to keep accelerating every part of the body all the way through impact.

The best players create speed — and then transfer it.

One way this happens is through the lead leg.

Push against the ground, create a braking force through the body, and that can help transfer energy from the torso into the arms — allowing the lead arm to accelerate.

Body speed → braking → arm speed → clubhead speed.

That’s why creating speed isn’t just about turning everything faster.

It’s about creating it, transferring it, and ultimately releasing it into the club.

That’s exactly what we work on inside Project 120 MPH. ⚡️

Rory McIlroy’s Iron Swing – The Perfect Blend of Power & Precision ⚡️

Rory McIlroy isn’t just one of the longest drivers on tour—his iron play is elite because of his incredible mechanics and efficiency. Here’s what makes his iron swing so powerful and consistent:

✅ Chest sway towards target - This allows him to achieve a negative attack angle and optimal launch.
✅ Dynamic lower body movement – His legs drive the swing, creating stability and effortless power.
✅ Perfect impact alignments – Hands ahead, shaft leaned (great for iron play), and body open—everything is in sync for a pure strike.

Rory’s iron play is proof that great ball-striking isn’t just about power—it’s about precision, rotation, and elite body movement.

What do you think makes Rory such a great iron player? Let me know in the comments!
