Hank Haney says clubhead swing speed is key part of game

SAN DIEGO – Hank Haney, former coach of Tiger Woods, is a golf evangelist. He sounds like a preacher. He is highly animated. He jumps around when he talks. He speaks with great conviction, alternately raising and lowering his voice for the greatest effect.

Appearing on April 21 at the Grand Del Mar resort as part of a TaylorMade Golf promotional outing, Haney launched into one of his favorite subjects: the speed of the golf swing.

Golfers who believe in a slow, measured swing might cover their ears. Forget rhythm, tempo, balance and similar thoughts. Haney wants all golfers to speed it up.
