Episode notes
Age Brings A Speed Cliff, Not Inevitability
- Clubhead speed decline accelerates after about age 41 and becomes more pronounced after 50.
- Doing the right physical work can greatly reduce that decline and extend meaningful performance.
Training Cuts Long-Term Decline By ~80%
- Optimising fitness after 50 slows speed loss to about two mph per decade versus much larger losses if you do nothing.
- That represents roughly an 80% reduction in expected decline when you train correctly.
Begin Now — Expect Big Early Gains
- Start training now: many people see ~20 yards gain in year one and ~30 yards in three years when following the right program.
- Use those early gains to build momentum and slow future decline.
