The Road to 180 has helped me gain speed. My clubhead speed is up. I can now hit 120mph+ in every speed training without as much work as it used to take. And based on last weeks poll it sounds like a lot of you are as well. BUT... I wasn't hitting it that much farther. Just a few weeks ago I fixed that. This is the most eye opening driver fitting you've ever seen. βBig thanks to the folks at TPT Golf who helped make this video with Jon happen! β πβ Higher than 1.5 smash factor?!I just got over 180 ball speed for the first time!! I was pumped. But something seemed wrong. I had a 1.51 and 1.52 smash factor on those shots. And when I posted a video on Twitter some people called me out on those numbers. That doesn't make sense?! It didn't make sense to me either so I had immediately reached out to Nick over at Skytrak to try and understand what's happening here. And it's totally logical. β The toe of the driver is moving faster than the center and heel of the club. A launch monitor has to chose what it's measuring... And it's pretty obvious they'd measure the center of that club. β However the ball speed is going to be accurate. This type of hit will leave you scratching your head trying to figure out why you have a 1.51 or 1.52 smash factor. β

I genuinely believe some of the easiest ways for golfers to gain DISTANCE and play better is to actually warm up. Before you start shouting about how you don't have time or access to a gym or any of those other reasons... Just watch this and you'll realize how critically important the warm-up is for performing better. Big thanks to the folks at Rapsodo who helped make this video with Mark happen!
