About
Pure Distance Golf

  • Rob Harrand is a 2 x Major League Baseball draft pick (Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies) and former pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He is also a former World Long Drive competitor, a former college basketball player and a 6 x international dunk contest winner.

    From thousands of hours spent working with some of the world’s leading sports gurus and trainers, (including Tom Brady’s throwing coach) and from his own personal research, testing and training, Rob was able to achieve a 150 mph swing-speed, a personal best drive of 417 yards, a 97 mph fastball, a 44 inch vertical jump and a 4.41 40 yard time.

    This point of mentioning all of this isn’t to sound like an incredible braggart, but to convey that Rob has put in the work and used himself as a guinea pig, so to speak, to ensure that what he teaches truly gets results.

  • In 2017, out of a passion for golf, Rob founded Pure Distance Golf, a specialty golf company focused solely on helping golfers all over the world increase their swing-speed and distance.

    Today, Rob is known as as one of the leading swing-speed and distance specialists in the world and looks forward to helping you achieve your swing-speed and distance goals.

  • From day one, Rob’s goal with Pure Distance Golf was to take everything he’s learned about speed and explosiveness playing other sports and apply it to golf and the golf swing. The result is The PDG System. It’s the exact system Rob used to go from swinging 112 mph to 150 mph in just 12 weeks.

    At the heart of the PDG system is an array of unconventional mental and physical training principles that focus on concept, intent, instinct, athleticism, reaction, and quieting the mind.

    The result is instantly faster swing-speed and distance, with a greatly reduced risk of injury. As an aside, it probably won’t hurt your feelings to know that you can expect greatly improved ball-striking and consistency, too.

  • Simply put, Pure Distance Golf is for any golfer who is serious about greatly increasing their swing speed and distance with every club in the bag. Pure Distance Golf is not a general golf game improvement company. We don’t teach putting and you certainly don’t want short game advice from us. There are much, much better and more qualified people who do that.

    PDG is a swing-speed and distance specialty company. We’ve helped thousands of golfers around the world increase their swing-speed and distance and we can do the same for you.

    If you follow our programs consistently, we can say with absolutely certainty, you will hit the ball further than you ever thought possible.

    Thanks for reading and best of luck.

Sports Highlights

Here’s a quick video (that looks like it was filmed with a potato) of some of my sports highlights from back in the day. For reference, at my best, my fastball was 97 mph, my vertical was 44 inches and my swing-speed was 150 mph (long drive club), all depending on my caffeine intake of course.

“A simple adjustment to how you conceptualize swinging a golf club has the power to completely change your swing-speed, instantly.”

“I personally believe the program allows your body to handle a faster swing. A new “mental map” of what your body can do, speed wise.”
