Here's the interesting part...he has achieved speeds between 112 and 118 with a 3/4 inch dowel and an impact bag. So, we're still working on achieving similar speeds between the club and the dowel.
Do tell more...
What specific drills helped the most?
What are you using to measure the speed?
I would assume you have never used HGH or steroids or ever thought of using them or have ever played for the Yankees?

A picture of me without a shirt is enough to get the free pass on the pee cup. If I looked like this and had taken steroids, I'd sue the company for false advertising.
I think it's called Swing Speed Radar (about $99).
I've got to test some more to see which drills helped the most.
Last February I went to a indoor Long driving contest. When I was there I decided enter it. I had 20 minutes to warm up. I made some changes to my swing, added lagging club head take away, float loading and some other things.
For warmup I used one of the drills Comdpa posted, I think it was called "the pyramid drill". I focused on maximizing Acc2 lag and PP#4 pressure in the downswing.
The result was the 3 first tries was around 136-139,5 mph clubhead speed, not very straight. Then I decided to slow down a bit to be able to hit the grid.
The last three tries where around 115 mph and straight and the distance was 290-295 yards.
I believe my normal clubhead speed at that time was 105 mph.
I have been using a couple of versions of the Speed Chains, but not the fan.
Congratulations on the new personal best. That's some serious speed for the Hitter. It further shows the true power of muscle power.
I noticed on a Speed Chain website they recommend a FAST Start Down. "Transition to downswing should be fast." It seems, of course, they envision it being used for transferring momentum. Because that's the only way to swing a club, right. I was wondering if you've found it useful for training the Hitters muscle power and how you've incorporated the chain's use with a SLOW Start Down. Do you use it for Total Motion or just work the Release interval?

I've always described it as a crescendo, as in music. It starts softly and gets louder. I really feel a very late acceleration of the club, via the Right Arm. I use the 4 barrel Hit, as I am an equal opportunity employer of accumulators.
It's just like a professional pitcher in baseball. When he begins his motion to home plate, the arm is still moving back. The arm is loaded and transported via the Pivot, to a Release Point. Then, the arm straightens.
I do use the chains in Total Motion. If you don't keep the thrust moving down-plane with the chains, you should be prepared for injury. Wrapping the chain around your legs is not for the faint of heart. Hitters can take it, but it brings tears to a Swinger's eyes.
you used, and have you used the fan in your teaching ?
