I set a big goal last year... hit 180 mph ball speed.

After a lot of coaching from the best in the game and some late-night simulator sessions, I finally did it.

In our NEW video, I break down the 10 swing hacks that actually helped me get there.

3 Ground Rules of Speed Training

Before you chase 180 mph ball speed, read this…

After a year chasing speed, I realized it was more about mindset than drills or gear.

1. Change Your Intent

You’re not out here trying to hit a fairway.
You’re trying to break your own speed record every time you train.

You're thinking “I’m going to swing out of my shoes and not care where it goes.”
​
It feels weird at first... because it is. But that’s the whole point. You’re training your body to move faster, not to play a round of golf.

Distance and dispersion will come later. For now, it’s about one thing: intent to smash.

2. Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Speed training is chaos. You will feel like you’re out of control swinging like a drunk octopus 😂.

That’s the point.

You’ll miss the center of the clubface. You’ll question everything.

And at first… you are.

But that’s how your body learns to organize new, faster movements. It’s messy before it’s efficient.

3. Always Get Feedback

Your “feel” is lying to you.

Every major breakthrough I had came when I watched video and realized I was nowhere near the exaggerated position I thought I was hitting.

Whether it’s a swing change or a pressure shift, what felt “crazy” on the inside barely looked different on the outside.

You have to be using video and the sponsor for this video, V1 Golf app, is something you should be using!

You need that visual checkpoint to make real changes stick.

Otherwise, you’re guessing. Don't guess

What Scottie Scheffler Does Better Than Anyone

Staying in the present is hard. We talk about it like it's some easy mindset switch.

But the truth is, most of us live in our heads, thinking about what just happened or what’s next.

Scottie isn't superhuman but he might be better at staying present than most of us.

That might be the most underrated part of why he keeps winning. His ability to lock in and just be there.

I heard some good quotes from his press conference after his Memorial win that tell more of a story about his journey to this point.

It Started with a Coach Telling Him to Get Off His Phone

Back in college, Scottie was trying to win over a girl (his now-wife, Meredith).

He’d be on the range, she’d text him, and he’d stop everything to reply. Every time.

His coach, John Fields, pulled him aside and said:

Sounds obvious. But hard to do.

It obviously struck accord for Scottie though as he still remembers it today.

That’s the whole thing.

Be where your feet are.

​
Simple. But not easy.
​

Remember this:

• Be where you are. That’s it.
• If you’re practicing, practice. If you're working, work. If you’re home, be home.
• Presence is a skill. You’ll screw it up. Keep going.
• Most people are too distracted to improve. Don’t be most people.
  ​

Some days are worse than others. I’m sure that’s true for Scottie too.

But this is a real skill. Just like lag putting or hitting the center of the club face.

And I'm sure it's one you and I need to work on more.
