Episode Description from the Publisher

Anyone can gain clubhead speed. Chris Finn says a monkey could do it - swing your driver as hard as you can 10 times each direction and your speed goes up. That's not the hard part. The hard part - the thing most speed training programs skip - is durability. In this episode, Chris breaks down: Why overspeed training (systems like Stack) works, and who it's actually right for The real risk of chasing speed without knowing your body's limits first The data behind two golfers who start at the same swing speed: over 10 years, one gains roughly 30 yards while doing it right, the other loses about 10 miles per hour doing nothing. That's a 44-yard gap by year 10. The takeaway: speed is a tool, not a shortcut. Used on a body that hasn't been assessed for mobility and durability, it raises injury risk instead of lowering scores.
