Increasing Swing Speed

[Guam135i]

Is there a way to train to increase some club head speed?

Yes, the general recommendation is to do over speed training, improve overall fitness that includes some golf specific fitness items.    There are reviews and opinions on this site for tools like Suoerspeed and the Stack system for over speed training.

When I found the “rhythm” of my swing I was able to harness my max swing speed. 
Video of my early swing was too “armsy” and  the harder I swing with the arms did not translate into more ball speed  Just more hand pain. I focus more on a spot in front of the ball for “swish” to happen and start the swing from the hips rather than from the arms and shoulder.

If you’ve never done any speed training you will almost certainly get faster by picking something and doing it for a while. What might be best for you depends on your physical conditioning ‘- if it’s not good - start there. 
 

Good luck

I was an official SuperSpeed tester last year and in generally decent shape for my age (53). I found that the protocols by themselves were a decent "workout" for me, although I was going to the gym a couple times a week prior to the pandemic. These types of systems really work. I max'd out at 102 at the start ("cruising" speed on the course likely closer to 95-98) and at the end of the second jump I hit 120. On course and on trackman for fitting are in the 106 range right now, but I haven't been as faithful doing the workouts this summer. Others are trying the Stack system and Rypstick - you can find info on them in the unofficial testing threads.

Where do i find these golf specific swing speed exercises? At 58 I am in fairly good shape I bike 3x a week, i do weights 3x a week. I dropped my weight to my ideal BMI weight.

There are multiple swing speed trainers.  MGS has done a product review of the superspeed sticks the past couple of years and several members have tried some of the other systems.   TXG just did a video highlighting several of them
