Does anybody know any good exercises I can do to help improve my swing speed?

I've googled the subject but all I can find are stupid exercise DVD websites.

Thanks for the help!

my advice is to do a lot of core exercises especially focusing on your obliques because thats where a lot of torque comes from, and i read this in a golf digest once that after your round go to the range and hit like 10-15 drives as hard as you can, dont focus on where the ball goes, just rip away and over time you build up strength and get use to swinging harder...just a few suggestions

Check this link out.  It's from Bubba Watson.  I'm going to try it out in the next couple weeks.

A lot of what goes into a golf swing is your core. Being able to pull through the swing all starts with the torso.

Why does it matter? I weigh like 150 lbs. and hit farther then guys twice as strong as me. Work on your swing not your strength, swing speed plays such a small role.

1. dress like a faggot
2. shove a golf club up your ass to build core rigidity
3. hate black people
4. gain 60lbs of belly fat
5. age 30 years
6. get a job on wall street
7. marry someone you don't love
8. have an affair
9. hire a hot cleaning lady so your wife gets jealous but don't actually fuck her because she's probably poor if she's a cleaning lady and you don't want that on your conscience

Tie resistant bands to like a pole or door knob and grab the end and swing. The resistance will build muscles gave me about 20+ yards

i played golf for twelve years and the most important part of the game is basics if the most basic swing you have the easier it will be to improve, its all about timing. I rarely worked out, its all about stretching, for instance the more limber you are the better tempo you have and better chance of bringing the club back to the slot. You want more swing speed learn how to properly lag in the down swing, if you can watch sergio garcias swing, watch the angle of his wrists from the top of the back swing to contact his angle produces more clubhead speed increasing his distance and crisp contact with the ball. The lag and staying limber helped me use my height to my advantage and channel that energy to the ball.

The reason why i know all this bullshit is because again i played 12 years straight and then i found out how retarded hitting a ball in to a motherfuckin hole was pointless, and ski and ns changed me from homo to the straight man i am today
