Control Your Golf Swing at High Speeds: Release, Gear, & Grip Essentials

Key Points

• Takeaway:
  If you’re swinging at high speeds — or striving to — your gear must support you. Let the clubface close naturally, don’t steer, and build a setup that gives you forgiveness and freedom. Bryson’s consistency starts with equipment, but it’s reinforced by understanding face dynamics under pressure.

• 2. You Can’t Guide or Steer at High Speeds
  At high speeds, steering or guiding leads to mishitsInstead, allow the clubface to close naturally — trust the motion. The face moves from open → square → closed, and you must understand and feel that dynamic motion

• 3. The Goal: Hit Into a Grid, Not a Line
  Even with elite speed and power (e.g. 8-iron traveling 200 yards), the goal is to land the shot within a zone or circle, not on a pinpoint line. Slight off-center hits are okay if the equipment is forgiving and correctly built

• 4. Pressure Can Cause Steering
  Under pressure, players tend to tense up and steerInstead, Bryson practices what’s called “offensive steering” — letting the clubface release freely with intent, not tension

• 5. Grip Size Matters
  Bryson uses oversized grips, which:Reduce the need to squeeze tightly. Allow lighter grip pressure and better face awareness. Smaller grips often require more tension, which can interfere with control and fluid motion

• 1. Custom Equipment is Essential at High Speeds

  Bryson swings at 126–127 mph with a driver, 105 mph with a 7-iron or wedge. His clubs are all the same length and same weight, which simplifies timing and control. This setup makes it easier to repeat the same motion across all irons
