Biomechanics of Increasing Ball Speed

An audience Q&A session at Open Forum 9 featuring Dr. Sasho Mackenzie, Dr. Scott Lynn, Martin Borgmeier (long drive champion), Drew Cooper, and Josh Koch discussing the biomechanics of increasing ball speed for tour players and amateurs alike.

The panel breaks down real case studies — how Matt Fitzpatrick transitioned to a center-to-front load pattern, why Collin Morikawa preferred transverse plane speed gains, and why focusing on hand speed as a training goal is a trap. Martin Borgmeier adds the long drive perspective, explaining how amateur inefficiency limits speed output.

Includes some memorable comic relief from the Country Club Adjacent crew, plus a deep-dive into angular momentum, braking forces, and why secondary objectives in speed training can backfire.
