4 swings out of 75 were from 120 to 124 mph today
The vast majority of swings were in the 106 to 114 mph category.
No swings were below 102mph.

lol.
Where'd the ball land?
That kinda matters buddy.

Pulling your trail arm elbow in and creating lag in your swing by starting the swing with the body first straightens out shots and adds distance.

Another item that gets overlooked by most amateurs with regard to swing speed is the importance of keeping your head down and eye on the ball all the way thru impact. This helps you "stay down" and swing around your spine using your front foot as a pivot. Keeping your head down adds 5 or 6 mph to your swing and enables you to hit the sweet spot more often as well.

I discovered a little different path to the strike zone today at the range. It's a bout 3 degrees above the area of my back that I have been swinging. ----Closer to the neck------Combined with massive shoulder turn-----excellent results. Oh by the way, here is a picture of Baron's brother---

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but it works like a charm for keeping your head down.
Imagine a new sharpened fishing hook attached to a few feet of line.
Tee up.
Imagine the free end of the line held between your teeth.
Get your waggle on.
Now.
Imagine the line just slightly taught, one end in your teeth and the hook slightly holding the other end of the line just almost piercing ever so slightly one of the family jewels.
Swing away!
Keep your head down.

I'm sorry, but I don't see your brother fitting this definition. Perhaps numbers 1 and 5 but not the others surely?---

Maybe rustic was the wrong choice. I will have to come up with something more accurate.

They key to turning with a tremendous shoulder turn is to dip the lead shoulder on the takeway. Massive shoulder turn is the difference between SVZ, Baron and professionals.
