Speed help needed
« on: January 14, 2009, 05:24:26 AM »
I have the tendency to get fast with my ball speed, overpowering my revs. I take 4 steps and hold the ball higher than my waist. I hold it at this height because if I don't, my backswing is really short. Any suggestions are appreciated.

To slow the ball speed down you need a shorter backswing.

I agree. To slow the ball down I'll hold it lower which creates a shorter backswing. To generate more ball speed I'll hold it higher which creates a higher backswing.
