Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
A lot of people come here and they want to hit the driver longer but they get a little nervous and they snatch it back with their hands. When you snatch it back with your hands and arms what happens is it tends to narrow the swing ark and that keeps the club in a position where it's not going to be able to generate any speed. So in order to hit the ball a bit longer all we're going to do is going to make sure we make a long slow wide take away.
The longer and slower and wider we can make it the more extension you have with your arms the wider that club to stay away from you and the easier it's going to be for you to create some speed. So remember when you're hitting the driver try not to snatch it back with the arms make sure you have that low wide takeaway. If you focus on that for about the 1st 2 feet off your backstroke you're going to have a good solid full turn of the top and you're going to hit that ball further than you ever have before.
