Golf is a lifelong passion, but as we age, maintaining swing speed can become a challenge. The distance that once came easily seems to fade away, leading to frustration and a less enjoyable game. However, it's important to know that you can regain power and increase swing speed, even as a senior golfer. It requires a tailored approach that addresses the specific physical changes that occur with age.
This guide provides practical strategies and insights to help senior golfers unlock their power and rediscover the joy of hitting the ball long and straight. We'll also explore how AV Edge golf bracelets may offer valuable support in this journey.
The Challenges Senior Golfers Face
- Loss of Flexibility: Reduced range of motion in the hips, shoulders, and spine limits the ability to create a full swing arc.
- Decreased Muscle Strength: Muscle mass and power decline with age, impacting the ability to generate force.
- Reduced Balance and Stability: This can affect weight transfer and swing mechanics.
- Joint Pain and Stiffness: Arthritis and other conditions can restrict movement and cause discomfort.
- Slower Recovery: It takes longer to recover from physical exertion, making it harder to practice and play frequently.
Strategies to Increase Swing Speed for Seniors
Focus on Flexibility and Mobility:
- Dynamic stretching before each round.
- Yoga or Pilates to improve range of motion.
- Specific stretches targeting the hips, shoulders, and spine.
- Drill: The "Around the World" stretch to improve shoulder mobility.
Strength Training with Modifications:
- Prioritize exercises that build power, not just bulk.
- Use lighter weights with higher repetitions.
- Focus on compound movements (squats, lunges, rows).
- Include core strengthening exercises for stability.
- Drill: Medicine ball throws to develop explosive power.
Swing Technique Adjustments:
- Shorten the backswing for better control.
- Widen the stance for increased stability.
- Emphasize a smooth tempo and rhythm.
- Drill: The "Clock Drill" to improve tempo and rhythm.
Equipment Considerations:
- Lighter clubs with more flexible shafts.
- Higher lofted drivers to maximize carry.
- Oversized grips for better control.
Prioritize Warm-up and Recovery:
- Thorough warm-up before playing or practicing.
- Active recovery after exertion (light cardio, stretching).
- Adequate rest and sleep.

"At 62, Nigel King had been struggling with pain in his arms and back after years of competitive golf. His swing speed slowed, and despite trying various treatments, nothing seemed to fully relieve the discomfort or boost his energy levels—until he discovered the AV Edge wristband. Within days, he noticed improved energy, better sleep, and reduced pain. Now, Nigel considers the wristband a key part of his success, helping him and his team, Durham County Seniors, win back-to-back championships and prepare for the National Finals in Torquay." - Nigel King, Golf Senior

Expert Insights
As a coach focused on sports performance and recovery, I work with people across all ages and ability levels, helping them adapt to the natural physical changes that come with time. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline—it just means we need to support the body a little differently.
For senior golfers especially, it’s not just about maintaining strength or flexibility—it’s about enhancing overall resilience. It’s about keeping your energy high, managing recovery, and feeling good while doing what you love. That’s why I appreciate what AV Edge potentially brings to the table. It’s a supportive tool that fits into a bigger picture—one that includes smart training, restorative movement, and performance tech that actually respects how the body functions.
I’ve seen many older clients experience noticeable improvements in energy, sleep quality, and even joint comfort while using AV Edge. When combined with simple strength and mobility work, this creates the kind of environment the body needs to restore power and maintain swing speed—even decades into your golf journey.
The Dr. Mark Bull PhD study backs this up, showing scientifically significant gains in acceleration and club head speed—benefits that matter just as much, if not more, as we age.
You don’t need to grind. You need to move well, rest well, and support your system with tools that work with your body, not against it.
