The golf club swing speed is what will determine your driving distance and ultimately your scores.

This is the reason why virtually every golfer desires to increase their golf club swing speed as much as possible. Some golfers still believe that if you simply practice the right technique, long enough, they will achieve this desire of their heart.

The truth is that there is only one thing that can improve golf club swing speed. And that is golf exercises. In many other sports, the more you play the actually game, the more you improve on the specific skills required to perform well in that particular sport.

Golf is different because the golf swing lasts about a second and therefore the only way to get golf-fit and improve performance is by exercising.

Most of all achieving higher golf club swing speed requires muscles that have been subject to strength exercises and generally golf exercises aimed at increasing muscle tone, flexibility and stamina.

Trying to improve golf club swing speed without exercise is simply taking a very high risk of injury without getting any of the desired results. Problems like low back, rotator cuff and elbow overuse injuries are usually caused by over exertion of muscles in the body.

One of the areas that most causes golfers to over exert themselves and their bodies is when desperately trying to increase golf club swing speed. This is a very risky thing to try and do without the right golf exercises and stretch routines.

There is bound to be nothing but trouble when you push your body to the limits and yet it is ill prepared and definitely not conditioned to take the punishment.

Thus there is no other route to higher golf club swing speed that does not pass through golf specific exercises.
