Most golfers are chasing speed the wrong way. They work on swing positions, timing, or jumping harder at impact… but they’re missing the real driver of speed.
In this video with Ian Fraser, we break down one of the most misunderstood parts of the golf swing: how the ground actually creates speed.
And the results were eye-opening. Within a single session we uncovered:
The hidden ground force that sets up everything else in the swing
Why lateral force — not vertical force — often determines your speed potential
The foot pressure mistake that causes most golfers to lose power before the downswing even starts
How elite players generate 200%+ of their body weight in force
A simple setup change that instantly unlocked free speed
At the start of the session, the swing was producing around 150–160% vertical force — well below elite thresholds.
By the end? We pushed it over 200%, gained speed, and saw dramatic improvements in how the ground was being used.
The crazy part is how subtle the change was.
It wasn’t jumping harder.
It wasn’t swinging faster.
It was simply learning how to use the ground properly.
If you’ve ever wondered why some players create effortless speed, this session shows exactly what’s happening under their feet.
