Yes, absolutely. For some reason, it is common thinking in the golf world that you either have speed or you don't. Even such greats as Tiger Woods and short-game wizard Paul Runyan have said as much. However, the fact is that training your body to swing faster (using the fundamentals you already have) is like any other aspect of speed, strength, or flexibility that you can work at to improve. Surprisingly to some, the speed gains are greater than you might expect...and it's not really that difficult to do with good knowledge of how to do it!

The Basic Program in particular is designed in such a way that each aspect of the training can be improvised with no additional equipment needed.

No. When Jaacob put together the Basic Program, he wanted it to be such that you can do everything you need to do wherever you like...as long as that place gives you room enough to make swing motions. This means you don't need to go to the gym or driving range to train.

At the time of this writing, Swing Man Golf has over 4,500 members. It is very common to hear back from the members about 12-16 mph (30-40 yards) speed gains with the driver in 30 days. Your anticipated results would be similar.

For those who are more ambitious, Jaacob has also listed his training regimes when he was training for RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship Qualifying. The best testimonial thus far has been Steve, a 58 year old senior, who started around 95-100 mph in December. By April he sent Jaacob a photo of his radar at 139mph!!! He went on later that year to compete in the Super Senior division of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships...and he won several of his Local Qualifiers.

Although swing speed training seems to work at any age (our youngest member is 12 years old), over 65% are over the age of 45...and over 35% are over age 60. We even have numerous members in their 70s and 80s. No matter the age or sex, the results seem to be the same for everyone as mentioned in the previous question.

No. Jaacob's found through his experience that largest and fastest swing speed training gains are had through a cross-training of the swing. He'll show you how to do that.

Yes. Jaacob designed the training with that in mind. So whether you use a swing that is conventional, the Stack and Tilt, Natural Golf, etc or you use standard equipment or same length irons, the training will work for you.

The Swing Man Golf website, in particular, is about half general golf instruction and half swing speed training (which is the really unique aspect of the site). Jaacob is not aware of anywhere else on the web that has the depth of swing speed training information that is contained inside the Swing Man Golf website.

Although Jaacob has Dan's certification, he remains somewhat non-partisan to any particular system. Rather, he likes to teach a variety of things, which is pretty much whatever the student is interested in learning. If the student doesn't know what he/she wants to learn, but has some specific goals he/she wants to accomplish...then Jaacob talks about pros and cons of different aspects (grips, stances, hand actions, leg actions, mental approaches, course strategies, equipment, etc) of what could make the necessary improvement and let the student decide what he/she wants to take from it. So basically, he tailors his instruction to the student's needs.
