Every golfer dreams of hitting the ball further. That extra 20, 30, or even 40 yards off the tee can transform your game, opening up new possibilities on the course. But the quest for distance often leads to frustration. You try swinging harder, forcing it, and end up with inconsistent contact and wild shots. The truth is, unlocking effortless distance isn't just about brute strength – it's about understanding the science of speed.
In this guide, we'll break down the biomechanics of club head speed, explore the key factors that contribute to a powerful swing, and introduce proven training techniques to help you unleash your inner long-ball hitter. We'll also discuss how AV Edge golf bracelets, with their innovative EF Technology, may provide a supportive edge in your pursuit of speed.
The Biomechanics of Club Head Speed
Club head speed is the velocity at which the clubhead is moving at impact. It's the primary factor determining how far the ball travels. But how do you generate that speed efficiently? It's a complex interplay of several biomechanical principles:
Ground Reaction Force: It all starts from the ground up. The force you exert into the ground is returned to you, creating the foundation for your swing.
Rotation: The body rotates around a central axis, transferring energy from the larger muscles (legs, core) to the smaller muscles (arms, wrists).
Leverage: The club acts as a lever, extending your reach and amplifying the speed of your hands and arms.
Kinetic Chain: The body segments work together in a coordinated sequence, transferring energy smoothly from one to the next. Any "break" in this chain reduces efficiency and speed.
Key Factors for Increasing Swing Speed
To maximize club head speed, golfers need to optimize these biomechanical principles. Here are the key factors:
Strength and Power: While strength is important, power (the ability to generate force quickly) is even more crucial. Training should focus on exercises that develop explosive power in the legs, core, and upper body.
Flexibility and Mobility: A full range of motion allows for a wider arc and greater acceleration. Stretching and mobility exercises are essential for a fluid and powerful swing.
Technique: Efficient swing mechanics are paramount. This involves proper sequencing, a good swing plane, and minimizing energy leaks.
Balance and Stability: A stable base allows for better energy transfer and a more consistent swing. Imbalances can lead to loss of power and accuracy.
Training Techniques to Unleash Your Speed
Here are some proven training methods to increase club head speed:
- Overspeed Training: Using lighter clubs to train the body to swing faster than normal.
- Weighted Club Training: Using heavier clubs to strengthen the muscles involved in the swing.
- Resistance Training: Exercises that build power and explosiveness (e.g., squats, deadlifts, medicine ball throws).
- Flexibility and Mobility Drills: Dynamic stretching, yoga, and other exercises to improve range of motion.
The AV Edge Advantage: Supporting Your Speed Journey
While these training techniques are essential, AV Edge golf bracelets offer a unique approach to potentially supporting your quest for increased club head speed.
A 50-person double-blind placebo study by leading Biomechanics expert and PGA golf coach Dr. Mark Bull PhD found that golfers who wear AV Edge golf bracelets enjoy increased club head speed.
AV Edge golf bracelets with EF Technology (not magnets) use frequencies (not magnets) to potentially protect against EMFs from everyday technology like mobile phones, Wi-Fi, laptops..., and may recalibrate your body to help it function as nature intended, and optimise Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production.
In the same way that EMFs from everyday technology are being found to resonate with our bodies in a negative way our EF Technology (not magnets) uses frequencies to resonate with our bodies in a positive way this is how our technology helps to remove interference from man-made EMFs and to help our bodies to function as nature intended, which is why the Dr Mark Bull PhD scientific study showed an increase in pelvic and thorax acceleration and increased club head speed for golfers, and why many of our 20,000 customers over the last 15 years report improvements to balance better sleep more energy and relief from aches and pains and ailments.
For £35, golfers get a low-cost, high-impact performance and well-being product - that requires absolutely no additional effort, just wear it 24/7 and you may increase your club head speed as this is scientifically proven to “increase peak club head speed” in a study by Dr Mark Bull PhD.
"I've tried the golf bracelet and it has gained me 30 yards of distance, and my balance and speed have increased. My coach saw an improvement in my balance and power." - Alfie Dacey (Welsh Junior Golfer)
Increasing club head speed is a combination of understanding the science behind it, implementing effective training strategies, and potentially utilizing supportive tools like AV Edge golf bracelets. By focusing on the biomechanics of your swing and incorporating the right training, you can unlock your power and achieve effortless distance on the course.

Test Your Club Head Speed
The Dr Mark Bull PhD Study showed a statistically significant increase in pelvic and thorax acceleration and increased club head speed. It's an instant gain. No effort required. Just where the band and test your club head speed and drive distance.
PGA pros, elite amateurs, seniors, coaches, and many of our 20k customers over the last 15 years - also report improved balance (usually an instant improvement), energy, sleep, and relief from pains and ailments (can take approx. 4-weeks).
“Since wearing the band, I have noticed an increase in my sleep, performance, overall well-being and health. My clubhead speed has increased and my balance has improved. I am a TPI certified coach and one of the tests I do with clients is a balance test. This band is going to greatly improve a golfer's performance.” - Marcus Mohr (TPI Certified Coach & Touring Pro at Ellesmere Port Golf Club)
For £35, golfers get a low-cost, high-impact performance and well-being golf bracelet - no effort required, just wear it 24/7 (and replace every 12 months).
Expert Insight
Speed isn’t just about brute strength—it’s about how efficiently your body transfers energy. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of athletes, including golfers—from ambitious young pros chasing distance gains, to seniors wanting to stay competitive without risking injury. What I’ve seen, consistently, is that club head speed comes down to mastering biomechanics: stability, rotation, sequencing, and power generation.
Younger golfers often have the ambition but not always the maturity of physical structure required for overspeed drills and power training, the same applies to seniors and all too often injuries occur from explosive drills. That’s why, in my opinion, the first step to increasing speed should always be removing the modern stressors that can hold the body back from firing on all cylinders. That’s why the results of the Dr. Mark Bull PhD study are so important—it showed increased pelvic and thorax acceleration and faster club head speed when golfers wore AV Edge bracelets, not because we gave the golfer more - because we removed elements that allowed them to harness more of what they already had!
For older golfers, the gains can be just as meaningful. I’ve seen AV Edge help restore balance, reduce joint discomfort, and bring back a fluidity that many thought they’d lost for good. It’s not a shortcut—it’s a support system. When you pair structured training with a technology that helps your body function the way it’s supposed to, you don’t just swing faster—you swing freer.
That’s the science of speed, and it doesn’t have to feel like hard work.
