Tom Hoge Wanted More Speed - Here's How We Helped Him Find It

Added on July 09, 2025
Tom Hoge wants 190 mph ball speed. At least that’s the running joke between him and his coach, Scott Hamilton. Scott, one of the best coaches in the world, would be happy with 175 mph, but Tom is determined to prove that he can touch 190.

This year, he ranks 158th in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee, while cruising at 170 mph ball speed (PGA TOUR average is 174 mph). Since ball speed is so closely related to driving performance, we knew we wanted to look for ways we could cheat some more speed out of his swing. After evaluating his physical capabilities, force and 3D data, we identified three opportunities to improve his scoring potential off the tee.
