I Asked a Golf Scientist How to Get Faster… Here’s What He Said

We’re diving deep into golf speed training with Dr. Alex Ehlert, a sports scientist who works with players of all levels at PGA Frisco. In this episode, we break down the mechanics of speed, how to structure a smart training session, and the real-world journey of adding 10+ mph to your swing. Whether you're trying to break through a plateau or just figuring out how to swing faster without losing control, this conversation is packed with insights. Dr. Alex shares the most effective physical predictors of speed (spoiler: vertical jump impulse), how to train your body to move faster, and why speed sticks can be more than just a “go fast” tool. This one is for the golfers who want to better understand their body, biomechanics, and how to actually train for lasting speed. Watch or listen to the truth about plateaus in swing speed, what your jump says about your golf potential, how to build your engine and express it on the course, a science-backed breakdown of grip strength, mobility, and rotational force, and also how to structure a 45-minute speed session that delivers results.
