Up until a couple of years ago (right before I turned 60), I still had driver clubhead speed close to 100 mph. With a respectable smash factor, that translates into drives around 270 yards. I would take that all day long.
But in the last couple of years, that clubhead speed has dipped to the low 90s. While adequate for a senior player, I sure like hitting shorter clubs into greens (And yes, I know I can move up another set of tees). I decided to see if there was anything I could do about it. So I recently employed a product called Perfect Hands, which I checked out at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, to see if I could regain most of, if not all of that lost speed.
