Why is making a longer backswing important?
—Making a longer backswing allows you to create more power and generate greater distance with your driver.
How can I get more hip turn?
—You can increase your hip turn by allowing your front foot to come up slightly during your backswing. You can also try dropping your back foot back a little to encourage a greater hip turn.
Why is generating clubhead speed important?
—Generating clubhead speed is crucial for maximizing distance with your driver. It allows the ball to travel further through the air.
Can I have a shorter backswing and still hit the ball far?
—While a shorter backswing can be effective for accuracy, making a longer backswing allows for greater power and distance potential.
Is it necessary to maintain a straight left arm during the backswing?
