A big component of speed is raising your arms relative to your chest in the backswing, and lowering them to reconnect on the downswing. The sign that you haven’t raised them at all is how your trail tricep is pretty close to your rib cage still. It should be closer to parallel with the ground. Here’s a good video on the subject, but this channel has plenty of videos on how the arms should move. ▶ this video
