The Golf Swing Speed Challenge Review
The Golf Swing Speed Challenge was designed by Alex Gairdner. Alex is a British sports scientist who designed this program to help himself to increase his swing speed.
Alex has a lot of letters after his name (i.e. BSc(Hons) Physio, Acup. ACP, BSc(Hons) SpSc) I'm not sure what they all mean, but it appears he has a lot of credentials to design a sports fitness program.
But the thing I like about this is that Alex doesn't only walk the walk but he talks the talk...in terms of results.
Alex has said that he created this program to help himself swing faster, and then he videod his swing speed before he started it and found his swing speed was 93.8 mph. Then 56 days after completing the program he retested his swing speed and found that his swing speed was then 114 mph.
As Alex reminds us, for every 1 mph of swing speed increase a golfer gains about 2 - 2.5 yards. Alex has used 2.2 yards to workout that he gained 44.3 yards in distance.
Now that's impressive distance gains in just 56 days!
After learning about Alex's personal distance gains I wanted to take this golf swing speed challenge for myself.
When I did I found the exercises very easy to do, in terms of what they were. There's no complicated exercises and you can do them all at home.
To be honest, because I hadn't worked out in a while I found the exercises a bit tough on my body at first, but as I kept doing them it got easier and easier and I started to feel great.
And really, I can't fault the challenge there... it's a good way to get me exercising regularly again.
I personally thought it was great how you could do all the exercises at home and you didn't need to buy expensive equipment.
All the way through the challenge I was checking my swing speed and at first I didn't notice any improvement, which I think was because my body was adjusting.
Then after a couple of weeks I noticed about a 5 mph improvement and then I kept on getting faster and faster until at the end of the program I had a 14 mph improvement. That works out to be 30 yards added to my shots.
This has made golf so much more fun for me. I'm back to hitting par 5's in two and getting a lot closer to the green on par 4's. But one of the biggest benefits of going through this program is my swing feels so much easier.
Even though I'm swinging faster it feels easier. Also I don't feel in pain anymore when I'm swinging. And I'm swinging about 80 - 90% on my driver swing so it's the same as I was swinging before, but it's so much faster now.
I have done many other things to try to improve my swing speed like yoga, static stretches etc. but none of those things helped increase my swing speed. After doing this the results speak for themselves.
So if you want to hit the ball further I can't recommend this highly enough. To find out more go to visite consistentgolf.com

Asked If He's Been Taking Lessons...
"I have been using your Swing Speed Program for about 6 weeks now. I must admit that due to a rather heavy work schedule I have not been as diligent as I would like, but have not missed that many days of workout and stretching.
To give you a short background, I am 55 years of age and started playing golf when I was 6 years old. I am 6'3" and weigh 205lbs. so I am not in bad shape, just a little extra around the middle. My handicap fluctuates between 1 and 3. As I write this my index is 1.4. I play 90-110 rounds per year in southern Ontario, Canada, a 7-8 month season.
I have just started the advanced program, so, everything in this writing pertains to the basic part of the program.
The first thing I noticed when I started was how out of shape I really was. As you indicated in the program I did indeed some minor pain from muscles that I had not been using that often. This did pass after about a week of working out. As each week went by I could feel a difference in amount of flexibility I had. I now have about 25% more flex, especially in the shoulders.
I am confident that will increase even more with the advanced section and I look forward to continuing the program.
Now here's what's really got me excited:
I have never been too concerned about how far anyone I play with hits the ball, although a few of the boys I play with are. My mid to short irons and putting have always been fairly good and I score well enough to maintain my handicap and be competitive. There's always a few dollars on the line.
Over the last 4 weeks I have definitely seen an increase in my distance. Currently I am about 12 yards longer off the tees than I was before starting the 'Golf Swing Speed' program. Even the fellows I play with have noticed and are asking me if I've been taking lessons. As nice as this extra yardage is, what's really exciting is the effect this has had on my irons. Before starting the program I was hitting my 9 iron 135 yards average.
This is with no wind. Obviously when I hit it perfectly, which we all know is the exception not the rule, it will go about 8 or so yards further, but, the average is what I play with. The increased length with the driver should require me to hit 1 less club into greens, so I thought.
This was not however the case. I found that I actually needed 2 less clubs because 1 less put me 8-10 yards past the pins. It seemed rather obvious that the program was working with all my clubs, however I wanted to be sure.
I determine my yardages on the course later in the evening when the place is deserted.
I hit about 25 balls with each club and GPS the yardage. I disregard the 5 best and the 5 worst. What's left is a good reflection of average distance for any particular club. I will do this twice annually, spring and summer.
This past week, mid October and about 60 degrees, I rechecked my yardages. To my great pleasure they have all increased by a 10 yard average as well. This, in my mind, can only be due to the Swing Speed program because that is the only variable since checking them in the summer.
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be hitting 9 irons instead of 7's, wedges instead of 8's and even better bringing our 5 pars into range to be on in 2 instead of 3.
I need to hit 2 perfect shots but at least it's now possible.
I am looking forward to continuing the Golf Swing Speed workouts and checking my distances in the spring again. I'll let you know, if you like, what the numbers are.
Thank you again for the program."
P.S. Please keep those swing speed drills coming. I really enjoy them.
P.P.S. I've decided I'll let my buddies in on my secret next time we play. If they don't get your program that'll be better for me because their money looks pretty good in my wallet!"
