The Importance of Speed

Rory McIlroy changed the game when he came out in 2011. He's the first long hitter who played like a long hitter. The rest are all bullied into playing like short hitters. I've always been interested in speed. It's just become more and more and more of a focus so essentially before I'm at home now I focus on speed every day of practice every day. You know, back in the day you were trying to beat one long hitter. Now you're trying to be 50. And if you're not one of those 50 it's rare for somebody outside of that 50 to be really in contention.
