HIITS Protocol
Speed Training
Track your club head speed gains across every session.
Set Your Baseline

Record your starting driver club head speed and ball speed before your first session.

Log a Session
How HIITS Speed Training Works

Follow these five rules every session. Click below to view the complete protocols.

Frequency
Perform 2 sessions per week. Ensure you are fully recovered between sessions.
Main Intention
Swing as fast as possible! Every swing must be at 100% effort.
Baseline (Day 1 Only)
Before your first set on Day 1, record your baseline driver CHS and ball speed.
Recording
Record the fastest CHS only with the HIITS driver in each set.
Finish
After each session, hit your regular driver 8–16 times at 100% effort. Record your fastest CHS and ball speed.
Key Instruction: Each set consists of swings with the Light club, then Medium, then Heavy. After the FINAL heavy set of the day, do your "Finish Light" swings, then immediately hit your regular driver swings at 100% effort.
Phase 1 Protocol — 16-Week Levels

The wave-loading approach prevents plateaus and ensures consistent speed gains.

Level / WeeksSetsTotal SwingsPer Set (L/M/H)Finish LightNotes
Level 1 (Wk 1)2213 / 3 / 33 lightAfter 2nd set
Level 2 (Wks 2–3)2284 / 4 / 44 lightAfter 2nd set
Level 3 (Wks 4–5)2355 / 5 / 55 lightAfter 2nd set
Level 4 (Wks 6–7)3404 / 4 / 44 lightAfter 3rd set
Level 5 (Wks 8–10)3505 / 5 / 55 lightAfter 3rd set
Level 6 (Wks 11–16)4524 / 4 / 44 lightAfter 4th set
Phase 2 Protocol — Weeks 18–34

2 sessions per week. Be fresh for every session. 100% effort on every swing.

Phase 2 Weeks (Overall)SetsTotal SwingsPer Set (L/M/H)Finish LightFinish Driver
Wks 1–4 (Overall 18–21)3404 / 4 / 44 light10 swings
Wks 5–8 (Overall 22–25)3505 / 5 / 55 light10 swings
Wks 9–16 (Overall 26–34)4524 / 4 / 44 light15 swings
Maintenance Phase: Once you reach your desired on-course speed, transition to maintenance mode. Perform 1 speed session per week, or every other week, depending on your ability to maintain that speed.
HIITS Speed Formula

Your max Light Driver training speed dictates your potential on-course cruise speed.

    Home putting setup
    • Any flat carpet or hard floor. A hallway works well for the longer putts.
    • A practice cup if you have one. If not, use a coin: the ball has to roll over it to count.
    • A few tees, a tape measure, and a towel or book to mark zones.

    Drag on the video to draw. Lines show their angle from the ground, so you can check spine tilt at address vs impact or the shaft plane at the top. On a computer: ← → step a frame, space plays, Z undoes.
    What to Check
    Address · Line down the spine and one up the shaft. Note both angles.
    Top · Is the shaft on or near the line you drew at address?
    Impact · Step to impact. Has the spine angle held within a few degrees?
    Head · Circle your head at address. Does it stay in the circle through impact?
    Videos stay on your phone unless you tap Send Swing. Only you and your coach can see a sent swing.

    What the Numbers Mean
    Club speed · How fast the club is moving at impact. More speed = more distance.
    Smash · Ball speed ÷ club speed. It tells you how centered the strike was. Driver: 1.45+ is great.
    Carry · How far the ball flies in the air. Know this number for every club.
    Spread · Most of your shots land within this many yards left or right. Smaller is better.
    Attack angle · Up (+) or down (−) at impact. Driver likes up; irons need down.
    Face to path · Face open or closed to the swing direction. It decides the curve: + curves right, − curves left.
