How do you create more clubhead speed without sacrificing center contact, control or the ability to repeat your swing under pressure? Mark Immelman sits down with respected golf instructor Adam Harrell, longtime coach of PGA TOUR player Michael Brennan, to explore the principles behind one of Mark's favorite swings in professional golf. Harrell began working with Brennan as a young player with aspirations of reaching the PGA TOUR. From the beginning, speed was intentional—but never at the expense of fundamentals. The result is a swing built around center contact, neutral fundamentals, an efficient clubhead orbit, proper release, rhythm and the freedom to let the club move fast. Throughout the conversation, Mark and Adam unpack how everyday golfers can apply those same principles to their own games. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why speed should be trained as a skillHow Michael Brennan developed clubhead speed from a young ageWhy center contact remains the foundation of distanceHow to increase speed without losing balance or controlWhy even a 1 mph improvement mattersHow a golfer's mental "governor" can limit speedWhy neutral fundamentals make a swing easier to repeat under pressureThe importance of grip, setup, ball position and takeawayHow the clubhead should naturally orbit around the golferWhy the body and club must work in harmonyHow the hands and arms contribute to speedWhy energy transfer matters more than simply moving your body fasterWhat golfers misunderstand about "flipping" and releasing the golf clubHow Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy demonstrate an effective releaseSimple drills for improving plane, release and clubhead speedHow a metronome can improve putting distance control and full-swing tempo. Key Takeaways: Speed Is a Skill You Can Train - One of the most important ideas Harrell introduced to Brennan as a junior was simple: go faster intentionally. Instead of hoping speed would appear as his technique developed, they measured clubhead speed, established numerical goals and practiced producing progressively more speed. But there was an important condition: speed still had to work alongside center contact and a functional golf swing.One Mile Per Hour Is Still Progress - Golfers often expect dramatic increases when beginning speed training. Harrell recommends a more patient approach. Establish your current maximum, try to beat it and gradually raise the ceiling. One additional mile per hour may not sound dramatic, but incremental gains accumulate—and a few extra miles per hour can eventually translate into meaningful additional distance.Sometimes You Need Permission to Go Faster - Harrell shares the example of a 14-year-old student already swinging her driver around 96 mph. After challenging her to reach 100 mph, she broke through that barrier almost immediately. The lesson goes beyond physical ability: golfers sometimes place an unconscious ceiling on themselves. Giving yourself permission to swing faster can reveal speed you already possess.Build Speed on Top of Fundamentals - Michael Brennan's swing is fast, but it is also exceptionally organized. Harrell emphasizes a neutral grip, sound ball position, proper alignment and a reliable setup before adding speed. His philosophy is to eliminate unnecessary variables so the golfer has fewer compensations to make during the swing. A neutral foundation makes it easier for the motion to repeat when pressure rises.Impact Is Everything - Drawing from his time working with Jim McLean and the influence of John Jacobs, Harrell repeatedly returns to impact. The objective is not simply to produce an attractive golf swing. The positions and aesthetics should serve a functional purpose: controlling the clubface, finding the center of the face and delivering the club efficiently. Speed is then layered on top of that structure.Let the Club Find Its Orbit - One of the defining characteristics of Brennan's swing is the journey of the clubhead around his body. Rather than constantly manipulating the golf club into positions, Harrell describes the club as moving in a relatively neutral "orbit." Even when Brennan swings aggressively, the club continues to travel efficiently around him. The result is a motion that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.Neutral Makes Golf Easier Under Pressure - Harrell is a strong believer in building from neutral whenever possible: i. Neutral grip (ii) Neutral setup (iii) Neutral takeaway (iv) Neutral club plane (v) Neutral club path. There are great golfers with unconventional matchups, but every deviation requires another piece of the swing to match it. Starting from neutral can reduce the number of compensations a golfer must time correctly under pressure.Don't Leave the Clubhead Behind - A common mistake when golfers try to create more speed is simply moving the body harder and faster. The golfer turns aggressively—but the clubhead never receives that energy. Harrell suggests training the hands ...
