My name is Scapo.  I'm 5'8".   Turning 40.  And last time I measured, my swing speed was 130 mph.  Even though I swing so hard, I'm relatively accurate for the distance that I'm hitting.  When I was younger, I had much more wrist lag in my swing and was very wild.  Now, I generate speed with rotation and I have a very long impact position with a flat left wrist.  Even though my wrists are less active, my upper torso increases speed as it rotates through impact.  This creates what I believe is a very powerful whip effect as my left arm approaches the ball.  As I get to the ball, it feels like I can hit it as hard as I want with my right hand, and still take the left side of the course out of play.  I believe this technique is somewhat rare, because most of the pros I talk to don't believe in this technique.  I have a lot of fun hitting the ball well over 300 yards.

P.S.  I have special training that I do in minutes a day around my house.  Any questions or comments?

First, welcome to the site. We're glad to have you.

Second, if you have a product you'd like to promote, then please send me a PM or email us at advertise@thesandtrap.com.

And finally, "My Swing" threads are for the posting and commenting on of our golf swings. Ideally you'll post a video and people can comment. You can ask questions, show changes over time, tell us what you're working on improving, etc. I think people here would love to see what it takes to deliver the clubhead at 130 MPH, and eventually would love to hear about your products. If you'd like this thread to be moved to another forum, I'd be happy to move it, but I hope you will be able to post some video.

Thanks, and welcome to The Sand Trap.

In this video, I'm swinging as hard as I can just to see how fast the club head was going.  When I was younger, stronger and had more time, I could only swing 125 mph.  Now that I'm 41, out of shape and out of time, I'm swinging the club head faster than ever. 133 mph!!!

133mph swing speed is legit.  If you don't mind me asking... Where did you get that swingmate swing speed meter?  I tried to find it online, but couldn't find any retailer for it.  I'd be interested in getting something like that to help with guaging my fitness goals.

Rolling shutter effect. It's not flexing that much at all, no.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
