Club head speed isn’t just a number, it’s one of the most influential metrics in golf. The faster your club moves at impact, the further the ball can travel, plain and simple.
But there’s a deeper science at play. According to research by Broadie (2012), club head speed contributes up to 65% of total strokes gained from the long game among PGA Tour leaders. We can see from Broadie's data that Tiger Woods gained an average of 3.20 strokes per round on the field between 2003–2010, with roughly 2.08 strokes gained just from the long game alone.
If you’re serious about performance — whether you’re a low handicapper, weekend warrior, or competitive senior — optimising your club head speed is one of the smartest moves you can make.
The Study Setup: PGA Expertise Meets Real Golfers
Who Took Part
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study led by Dr. Mark Bull (PhD in Sport, Exercise & Rehabilitation Science and PGA Golf Coach), 50 low-handicap golfers (mean handicap 1.1) were recruited to explore the effects of an AV Edge Embedded Wristband on swing metrics.
These were category one players, known for highly consistent and repeatable swing mechanics — making them the perfect candidates for scientific analysis.
What Was Measured
Each participant hit 10 full-speed 6-iron shots with and without the AV Edge wristband in a randomised order. Neither the participants nor the data collectors knew which wristband was active, ensuring total objectivity.
The study measured:
-
Pelvis acceleration
-
Thorax (upper torso) acceleration
-
Lead arm & lead hand acceleration
-
Peak club head speed at impact
Key Findings from the Dr. Mark Bull Study
Statistically Significant Gains
The results were clear:
🧪 Wearing the AV Edge wristband led to measurable, statistically significant improvements in multiple performance variables — most notably, club head speed, pelvis acceleration, and thorax speed.
This means the body’s movement chain — from ground contact to club release — was measurably more effective with the wristband than without.

What It Means for Your Swing
These gains weren’t just marginal. In golf, small increases in club head speed (as little as 1–2 mph) can translate to 10+ extra yards of carry distance.
But more importantly, they reflect better coordination, improved energy transfer, and enhanced segmental sequencing — crucial for repeatable, powerful swings.
Why Balance and Segmental Sequencing Are Everything
Understanding the Summation of Speed Principle
To generate power in the golf swing, your body must work like a well-timed whip.
Biomechanics experts (Bunn, 1972; Putnam, 1993; Cheetham, 2010) explain this using the Summation of Speed Principle — where power is passed from the pelvis, to the thorax, to the arms, and finally to the club head.
If one segment is late, weak, or unstable, the whole system collapses.
How the AV Edge Wristband Supports This Chain
By potentially supporting neuromuscular balance, energy flow, and segmental control, the AV Edge wristband appears to reinforce this power chain — helping golfers move with more rhythm, coordination, and force.
The Role of AV Edge Wristbands in Enhancing Performance
EF Technology Explained
Unlike magnetic or copper bracelets, AV Edge wristbands contain discs embedded with over 300 health-supporting frequencies. These frequencies interact with your body’s natural electromagnetic field — the same field that governs muscular firing, cellular energy, and balance. Learn more here.
Just like Wi-Fi can disrupt your device, human-made EMFs may disrupt your body. AV Edge wristbands aim to restore resonance and recalibrate performance through Energy Field (EF) Technology.
ATP, Energy, and Movement Efficiency
Ongoing research and customer feedback suggest that AV Edge may help:
-
Support ATP (cellular energy) production
-
Reduce neurological guarding
-
Improve balance and proprioception
This leads to more consistent movement, faster segmental transitions, and ultimately: more club head speed.
What Golfers Are Saying
From the Pros
🗣️ “Every small, incremental improvement is worth it. If there’s anything that can help with my competitive edge — I’m up for it.”
— Gary Wolstenholme MBE, multiple-time senior tour champion
🗣️ “I feel more energised, I’m sleeping better, and I’m moving more freely. It’s helped my recovery and performance.”
— Nigel King, Durham County Seniors team champion
🗣️ “I've been back in the gym for a month or so now and trying to get back to some decent fitness so have been feeling better in myself and the band is more than likely contributing to that too! In regards to sleep, I've been pretty good so maybe a win there... I'm certainly not taking it off anytime soon, so will keep you posted on any updates!”
— Chris Hanson, Golf Pro, Coach, Agent
From the Community
💬 “After years of inconsistency, I’m finally feeling in sync with my swing. It’s subtle, but real.”
💬 “I used to feel drained by the 14th hole. Now, I finish strong and alert.”
💬 “Didn’t expect much — now I won’t play without it.”
