Adding swing speed is a top ingredient in the recipe for distance and because of this, we have seen several specialized training tools come into the market in recent years that have become quite popular. Alongside a training program, improved coaching, and better technology, the sky is the limit for players who want to add speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"g-block-wrapper g-block-wrapper--image g-block-wrapper--inline g-block-wrapper--align-right\">\n  <figure class=\"g-block g-block-image g-block-image--inline g-block-image--align-auto \">\n          <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"lazy g-block-image__file\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fitzpatrick-STACK-speed-2024.jpg?width=30\"\n        alt=\"fitzpatrick STACK speed 2024\"\n        data-src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fitzpatrick-STACK-speed-2024.jpg\"\n        data-srcset=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fitzpatrick-STACK-speed-2024.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fitzpatrick-STACK-speed-2024.jpg?width=720 600w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fitzpatrick-STACK-speed-2024.jpg?width=1280 900w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, (max-width: 600px) 50vw, (max-width: 900px) 33vw, 900px\"\n        \n      \/>        <figcaption>\n              <span class=\"g-block-image__caption\">Matt Fitzpatrick has used The Stack system to gain a large amount of speed over the last 3 seasons. <\/span>\n      \n              <span class=\"g-block-image__credits\">Ryan Barath<\/span>\n          <\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once club head speed is added the next thing golfers have to consider is how that speed will change their launch conditions, with a focus on the driver because a natural byproduct of more club head speed is ball speed followed by launch and spin. Launch and spin are the biggest concerns in this equation because by controlling those parameters with the help of equipment a golfer can quickly add more distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"block-shop-card block-shop-card-condensed\">\n        <a class=\"block-shop-card__inner block-shop-card__inner--nocta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\n             href=\"https:\/\/fairway-jockey.myshopify.com\/products\/hardware-app-bundle-thestack?utm_source=golfcom&#038;utm_medium=article&#038;utm_campaign=do-i-need-new-clubs-if-my-swing-speed-goes-up-firsthand-with-a-fitter\">\n            <div class=\"block-shop-card__photo block-shop-card--image--nocta\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inner block-shop-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/5108\/1146\/products\/6430540_FullLayout_sRGB_98b4d3cf-af52-46dd-bdf6-dded3caa3c88_1.jpg?v=1655313790\"\/>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"block-shop-card__infos block-shop-card__infos--nocta\">\n                <div class=\"block-shop-card__sponsored-text block-shop-card__sponsored-text--nocta\"><\/div>\n                <h4 class=\"block-shop-card__title block-shop-card__title--nocta\">TheStack Swing Speed Trainer (Hardware + App Bundle)<\/h4>\n                                    <pre class=\"block-shop-card__price block-shop-card__price--nocta\">$314 (was $349)<\/pre>\n                                <div class=\"block-shop-card__description block-shop-card__description--nocta\">&nbsp;\nTheStack Hardware\n\n5 milled Stack weights enable 30 weight combinations between 0g and 300g\nDual-purpose weight case \/ phone stand\nHighly engineered training club &#8211; Adult (41.5&#8243;) or Junior (38.5&#8243;) version (see\u00a0Fitting Juniors)\nSpeed radar not included.

This also includes the shaft flex and shaft weight because club head speed is only a small part of the equation. How the golfer loads and unloads the shart during the swing are just as important.&#8221;   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"g-block-wrapper g-block-wrapper--image g-block-wrapper--inline g-block-wrapper--align-right\">\n  <figure class=\"g-block g-block-image g-block-image--inline g-block-image--align-auto \">\n          <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"lazy g-block-image__file\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ping-driver-optimal-chart-fitting.jpg?width=30\"\n        alt=\"Ping driver optimal chart fitting\"\n        data-src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ping-driver-optimal-chart-fitting.jpg\"\n        data-srcset=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ping-driver-optimal-chart-fitting.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ping-driver-optimal-chart-fitting.jpg?width=720 600w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ping-driver-optimal-chart-fitting.jpg?width=1280 900w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, (max-width: 600px) 50vw, (max-width: 900px) 33vw, 900px\"\n        \n      \/>        <figcaption>\n              <span class=\"g-block-image__caption\">Ping Golf&#8217;s driver optimization chart.<\/span>\n      \n              <span class=\"g-block-image__credits\">Ping Golf<\/span>\n          <\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What needs to change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Club head speed leads to more ball speed, and as ball speed increases so does the need to better control launch and spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as players on the lower end of the speed spectrum often need to add launch and spin with the help of lighter shafts and more driver loft, faster players more often than not depending on their impact dynamics need to reduce loft and find a stiffer shaft profile to handle the extra load placed on the shaft during the swing. <\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"g-block g-block-article-embed g-block-article-embed--align-right\">\n    <figure>\n\n        <div class=\"g-article-embedded__img-wrapper\">\n                                            <div class=\"article__category  gear\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/\">\n                        Gear                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/need-new-driver-if-add-speed\/\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"lazy inner\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ping-G430-driver-2023-.jpg?width=30\"\n        alt=\"Ping G430 driver 2023\"\n        data-src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ping-G430-driver-2023-.jpg\"\n        data-srcset=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ping-G430-driver-2023-.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ping-G430-driver-2023-.jpg?width=720 600w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ping-G430-driver-2023-.jpg?width=1280 900w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, (max-width: 600px) 50vw, (max-width: 900px) 33vw, 900px\"\n        \n      \/>            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <figcaption>\n            <blockquote><a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/need-new-driver-if-add-speed\/\">Do you need a new driver if you&#8217;ve added speed?

These stable heads yield much higher consistency compared to drivers from even a few years ago, and when everything comes together in the right specs we can see incredible results that translate to more distance and lower scores.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Looking to work firsthand with your own club-fitting expert to dial in your equipment and play better golf?
