Tyler Standifird had a PhD in Kinesiology and is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Exercise Science at Utah Valley University. He specializes in Biomechanics and has been doing research, and Data Collection for Superspeed Golf relating to Speed Training and Clubhead Speed Improvement Protocols.

Tyler joins us to discuss and share some of his findings from his exhaustive studies. The topics he addresses include:

Speed Training Protocols and Consistency of Training.

Speed Training and its influence on Golf Swing Mechanics.

Non-Dominant Side Training for improved speed gains.

Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) and the transfer of speed to the clubhead and the golf ball.  He dives into Force Production and transfer in terms of Direction, Magnitude and Timing.

He also illustrates real-world examples and talks about Rory McIlroy as the ultimate model of speed being a skill and a skill that can be learned.
