Christo Garcia increased SS 109 to 131 in 1 month!

He has a YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/myswingevolution

I've followed him for a while and at first he was pursuing Hogan but realized the need for distance. He went on a journey and now is bombing it. He used Tom Slagle's program. I purchased Slagle's book and am now on my own journey! One problem with the program is that it is vague but I hope to gain at least 10 MPH!

It's a great channel and the quality of editing and production is awesome too.

Check it out.

Interesting stuff. Some useful insights. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

That's so awesome! I would love to improve my speed a little bit and get it from 105-110 into the 113-117 range, and especially get more speed with my irons. That's where I'm lacking..

Isn't that swingspeed radar known to be inaccurate? Some have reported that it reads 10 mph higher than a trackman. But I suppose if he established a baseline that's still impressive.

I like cristos videos.

Even if the device is high by 10mph, 121 is still pretty impressive. Especially as an improvement over 99mph at the start (assuming its constantly 10mph high).

Do you think an alignment stick would work in place of a shaft with no head? Or would that end up being too light?

In his book, he recommends using a driver that's 10% lighter than your usual driver, or in lieu of that, he says to drill a hole through the center of 3 golf balls and epoxy them to the end of a shaft with no head. Kinda surprising considering that's not what Christo did in his videos.

Piece of advice, don't buy the eBook. Waste of money. There is some decent info in there, but he took all the BS (in his opinion) out of what he thought does not work with teachings out there today and told you what works for him.

If you want to practice what Chris used to train, watch his Youtube footage and search Overspeed training.
