I made a video of my swing and noticed is was really slow looking. I'm hitting my PW 130+yards. Don't know if this is average or what. What can I do to increase my speed or should I leave it alone?

If you hit your pitching wedge over 130 yards there's nothing wrong with your club head speed. So if your swing looks "slow" you can chalk it up to a silky tempo that Ernie would envy.

130 yards on average? Or you once skulled it that far? What sort of trajectory, high and parabolic or low and boring? Either way your swing speed is probably perfectly fine, but those answers will indicate exactly how fast it is. Focus on consistency, not distance.

15/20 flew perfectly from 125-135 yards. The other 5 were skulled which went 130++, and fat which went 90-100 yards. Thanks for the replies.

I'm no physical training expert but have done some reading and research in the area.

The Titleist Performance Institute is one of the best resources I've found.

My philosophy is that your overall health is more important than having a great golf game, although one leads to the other. In that respect, I emphasize cardiovascular conditioning as slightly more important than light weight/high repetition general body conditioning, but do both.

I'm 68 and came within a triple bogey on one hole last summer of shooting my age, which I hope to do this season.
