As increasing speed in the swing is a subject close to my heart, I've just released a new 'Paddy's Golf Tips' YouTube video where I discuss breaking inhibitions and implementing overspeed training to stimulate the body’s central nervous system to create a new ceiling.
As well as various techniques, I go through my use of SuperSpeed training aids, their protocols, the use of a launch monitor to provide the necessary feedback, and the importance of grip strength.
