Interestingly trackman was showing that his attack angle was way too steep for Driver however he was able to deliver the club with a dynamic loft which cancelled it out. Fitter was a bit confused for a bit about what was going on as he hadn't ever really seen it. He said Sergio did something similar. Encouraged him not to try and change it as he believed it was in DNA and would be difficult and would cause problems for him. Another fitter in the industry loved his steep attack angles as well.

Hi fellas, not sure if this is the right place for this or not... equipment? I was very keen 20 years ago, roughly 14 hcp, then I tapered off and have barely played the past 12 years.

I'm trying to get back into it with some range seshes and the first thing I've noticed is my distance is way down across the board. I only got swing speed tested once about 2009ish and I was 107 mph with my stock swing with driver and 113 if I went after it. So... I kinda went and bought a second-hand Garmin R10 that's telling me my driver speed is now more like low to mid 90s. :(

I've done 10-12 sessions of 110+ balls in the past 7 or 8 weeks and seen some overall distance improvement as my ball striking has improved, but my swing speed isn't really improving. Oh, I'm 54 now too. :'(

So, I guess I'm asking: If just extended practice can improve my swing speed? Or, is there particular training I can do? Or, is there any equipment out there that some can recommend to help with this? Or, am I just ****** 'coz I'm an old campaigner, get used to it?

I've seen a few things online, but I'm skeptical about most 'training aids' for golf. If someone has any experience with something that worked, then I'd love to hear it.

I have lost a lot of speed through my 50s. Bought a set of Callaway Apex irons and Titleist woods pre covid. I must have been about 51. But when I was tested just over a year ago I had really dropped off to a point where I had to change equipment to help. Kept the Titleist heads but put light, counter balanced shaft in them to help with speed. Went 7 hybrid, 6, 5 and 4 (with the counter balanced shafts), and moved into Mizuno hot metal irons with graphite shafts to help 8 iron down.

There are training aids to help with speed (not experienced with them myself), but yeah it sucks aging and losing distance.
