Don't turn around with your arms
but, go up
the arc needs to be wide
Do not put too much pressure on your body and arms
Swing speed makes longer drives
Hello, this is David Cho
To hit a long drive,
1. Hit the sweet spot
2. Low spin
However, the most important factor is 'SWING SPEED'
I will discuss how to swing fast in golf
Firstly, Back swing arc needs to be wide (big)
It does not mean overswinging
but, big and wide arc
Then how to create a wide arc in the backswing?
Firstly, don't turn around with your arms
but need to feel to go up rather than turning around
When your body makes rotation
if your arms just follow your body
you may get stuck
Your arms cannot go any further
so, may go up at the end
which makes your back swing complicated
You may feel that you create a big back swing
but, the arc is narrow
On the other hand
If you feel to proceed your arms and the club upward
you will have enough space,
so you will be able to make a wide arc
with this arms movement, if you turn your body properly
you will have an excellent backswing top
If you try to turn your arms and the club
you will get stuck here
so you will turn your body excessively
which will change the postion of your spine
If you make a back swing like this
you will be able to stay in the positon with a wide arc
You feel like to lift up the club head in the takeaway
while your body rotates
you lift up the club head gradually
then
Your hands and the club head will be in front of your chest
in front of your chest with enough body rotation
Your shoulders need to continue to turn to the top
Your right waist (for right handed golfers) is important
If you right waist doesn't turn,
your shoulders won't be able to make enough rotation
But, your right knee needs to resist
(try to stay in the positon)
If your right knee does not resist against the body turn
you won't be able to stay in the position
So, please create a back swing like this
Your right elbow is also very important
(for right handed golfers)
If your right elbow does not stay in the position
in front of your right ribs
your body and arms will be disconnected
Your right elbow needs to stay in the position
in front of your right ribs
to the back swing top
You need to widen the arc
Your right elbow shouldn't be too close to your body
Widen the arc
I will make a swing with a small arc first
Not with a wide arc
Secondly, your arms need to relaxed to swing fast
You may think your strenth itself makes a good distance
But you need to use your strength to make 'SPEED'
If you feel heavy with your arms with too much pressure
You won't be able to swing fast
and also will have a difficutly
to make a good swing path
But, if your arms are relaxed
You will be able to have a good delivery position
and ideal swing path (a big arc in-to-in)
So, do not put too much pressure
Free your arms (but stay in the positon)
You may be worried to have a casting problem
if you move your arms fast
But, fast arms create 'LAG'
If your arms move slow,
but if the club head move fast
then you will release the club head too early
On the other hand, if you move your hands fast
in the down swing
and your wrists are relaxed
you will be able to create 'A MASSIVE LAG' naturally
which makes 'acceleration'
To hit a long drive, 'Throwing the club head'
is more important 'Weight shift'
If you shift your weight too early
you won't be able to throw the club head properly
which causes 'Slicing' and loosing distance
if your right knee move forward
you may shift your weight too early
and extend the body too early
However,
if you stretch your right leg,
so that you feel your right knee move backward
you will not shift your weight too early
and will be able to throw the club head
If you don't swing fast
you won't be able to hit a long drive
Please improve your swing speed with
