I've spoken about this guy many times. He's the poster child for hard work. He's the one that's changed his max driver speed from 84 mph to 107 mph. He's recently had some irons creep over 100mph. We've updated his irons and changed the shafts to match the increased load he's placing on the shaft.
When his alignments get a little off, he returns to slower speed swings. Then, the pictures on the right are the result. The pictures on the left are from our original meeting. The pictures on the right are from yesterday.

Looks really great, Ted. Sustaining the lag is a beautiful thing.

I remember a friend came back from a PGA Tour event and said he gained 30 or more yards because he started to imitate their very gradual acceleration in the beginning of the downswing and then going close to full throttle near impact.
I remember watching a video of Moe Norman and he was saying that the fastest part of the swing should be the follow through, but most golfers play backwards and have the fastest part of the swing being their backswing.
Very nice work by both student and teacher. Structure (Extensor Action) and Impact Alignments are much improved, also Clubhead speed and more Snap than Sweep. All this from working on proper Acceleration or is there other things you worked on?

In 18 months, I don't know if there's anything that we haven't done. You name it, and I think we've done it.
It's been really enjoyable for me to see such changes. But, there's a guy that works at our range that saw Richard hitting balls for the first time, in a long time. After a couple of choice expletives, he watched in amazement as Richard pounded a few 7 irons. He couldn't believe that Richard had come so far. He hadn't seen the gradual changes that I had seen. He saw the culmination of months of change.
