How Can I Improve My Clubhead Speed?

Question: How Can I Improve My Clubhead Speed?
Answer: Gary's Quick Tips:

Improving your clubhead speed starts with the fundamentals - a good grip and an athletic posture.

Once you are set up for success, it is easier for your body motion to move freely behind the ball in the backswing, and into the ball on the way through.

The most effective drill is to swing a golf club three feet off the ground (sort of a baseball-type swing, but using your golf grip and posture). This will help you feel the right swing plane and release through impact.
