Matt686 1 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi all, are there any current long drive competitors/aspiring long drivers out there that would like to share a bit about how they workout, what exercises they focus on, diet, etc. I recently hit on a Trackman for the first time and had a top driver swing speed of 128mph and want to get it faster! I play about once a week and go to the gym daily but focus on "standard" lifting (bench, squat, deadlift, isolation workouts). Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Walkin 5 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Tiger's speed is 129, so you're right there with the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil 21,023 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Tiger's speed is 129, so you're right there with the best.Sorry, Tiger isn’t a long drive competitor and isn’t worth mentioning compared to those guys. Kyle Berkshire is in the 150 club head speed range for long drive. The top women are in the 125 MPH range. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54-10S 588 58-12 Putter: mFGP2 Backups: 6330, TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR 7,599 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 You will need to train for speed. Superspeed training is a start. All the top long drive guys do the big lifts. I’m not sure what Kyle break shire was doing prior to the summer last year but when he started powerlifting type training he added to his speed. joe Miller also does lofts of heavy lifting. might want to invest in a 48” driver with low loft and see what your swing speed is and how you hit.
