Many seniors find that their golf swing speed decreases as they age, which can lead to a number of problems.
As we age, we often lose muscle mass and our bones become more brittle. This can lead to a decrease in golf swing speed and a decrease in the distance we are able to hit the ball.
A slower golf swing can be frustrating, but there are ways to overcome it. With the right tips and tricks, you can increase your golf swing speed and improve your game.
If you want to learn how to increase your golf swing speed and improve your game, then you'll want to read what I'm about to tell you.
I guess you too have thought about ways how seniors can hit the golf ball further?
How far should a senior golfer hit a golf ball anyway?
(These are the types of questions that keep us awake at night.)
Unfortunately, there aren’t any simple answers to these questions.
But…
If you're a senior golfer, you may have noticed that you aren't hitting the ball as well as you used to. There are a number of reasons why this might be the case, but there are also a few things you can do to increase your club head speed and overall distance.
One of the main reasons older golfers lose distance is because they simply don't have the same strength and flexibility as they did when they were younger. This loss of strength and flexibility can lead to a loss of club head speed, which in turn leads to shorter shots.
There are a few things you can do to offset this loss of strength and flexibility, however. Here’s how…
Make sure you're using golf clubs that are appropriate for your current age and strength level. If your clubs are more than 15 years old, they were probably designed for a golfer much younger than you are now.
Consider adding a few hybrids to your bag to replace some of your long irons. Hybrid clubs are typically much easier to hit than long irons, and they can help you get the ball in the air more easily.
Another way to increase your club head speed is to improve your flexibility and mobility. You can do this by working on your balance and by taking a few minutes to stretch before you play.
Additionally, try to keep your weight evenly distributed on both feet when you swing. This will help you stay balanced and will allow you to turn up the speed without losing control.
Have you tried taking a slightly wider stance when you swing? This can help you keep your balance and will allow you to generate more power.
By following these tips, you should be able to increase your club head speed and hit the ball farther than you have in years.
How fast do you swing?
Staying above the average senior golf swing speed can easily become an obsession for many of us. For example, how much time have you spent thinking about:
According to a study from My TPI the 50th percentile swing speed for seniors is as follows:
-For 50-60 years old male golfers: 98.9 mph
-For 60+ years old male golfers: 93,3 mph
Chris Finn also makes this statement:
“A 90 mph club head speed when you are 65 years old is not that good and there is likely lots of room for improvement!”

As a senior golfer, your swing speed is important.
A higher swing speed can help you hit longer drives and longer irons. This will set you up in a better position closer to the hole so you can focus more on your short game and putting. The combination of all this makes it easier for you to shoot a low score and enjoy golf more.
There are a number of things you can do to increase your swing speed.
If you are looking to increase your swing speed, there are a number of resources available to help you. There are videos, books, and even personal trainers who can help you. The important thing is to find what works best for you and stick with it. Many senior golfers use the Simple Senior Swing System.
Which is your resource of choice?
Increasing your swing speed may take some time and effort, but it is worth it.
A higher swing speed will help you hit longer drives, set you up in a better position, and make it easier to shoot a low score. So if you are a senior golfer, don't forget to focus on your swing speed.
