Want more driving distance without swinging out of your shoes? Many senior golfers try to hit harder… but that actually costs you power and consistency. In this video, I share what top golf instructors say about creating speed in the right place—so you can unlock effortless distance, improve balance, and hit more fairways.
If you’re a senior golfer who feels like you’re losing yards off the tee, this video will show you simple, proven tips to get them back. Don’t just chase speed—learn how to create it at the right time for longer, straighter drives.
⛳ Watch now and add distance without swinging harder!
Most golfers try to swing harder for more distance, but the harder you swing, the less power you actually get, especially as you get older. In this video, I’ll show you what the top instructors say about creating speed so you can finally add yards without swinging out of control. Are you losing power with your driver because you’re trying to hit it harder? Let me show you why you lose power. When you get to the top, you’re trying to hit it so hard you’re throwing the club from the top. In other words, as you get up here, you throw your hands at it and your weight stays back here. What you want to do is start your down swing with a lateral weight shift this way. It drops your hands and arms into this position where you can deliver it to the ball. Let me show you a good one. Good setup. Good turn. Let her rip. If you’re not getting any power, try this. It’ll help. I don’t want the club going fast here. I don’t want the club going fast here. I want the club going fast here. And so the way you’re going to do that is you’re going to feel this club taking time in the back swing and then making this very loud whoosh sound happening over on this side of the body on the forward side of the body. So it’s going to look like this. You can hear that noise happening over there. And as you start to get this speed happening in the right spot, what you’re going to start to do is gain more distance, have better balance, and hit it more in the center of the club face. All that because you’ve gained the right speed at the right time. Don’t just be chasing speed, chase speed at the right time. In order to hit the golf ball further distances, golfers are trying to create more club head speed, and rightfully so, but they’re trying to create the speed with the wrong end of the club. They’re trying to get the head swinging as fast as they can. And what happens is the head outraes the grip and the club releases early and causes more of a scooping position at impact where you actually lose distance. The feeling that you want to create is that the grip is traveling faster than the head and staying in front of the head as long as it possibly can all the way to impact so that you get the best compression onto the ball. The feeling is that you’ve actually got a Frisbee in your right hand. From a golf posture, swing back normal and swing down keeping your right elbow in front of your right hand and try to release the Frisbee as late as you can and get a tight spiral down the fairway. You know, when it comes to creating speed, most people have the concept that from the top of the back swing, you really have to use rotate your hips or rotate your shoulders very fast and very hard to create the club head speed. But in reality, you have to accelerate and break. Just like this example here with a ball. If I take this ball and I move it, the ball has no energy of its own. Just like the club head. So ball has no energy of its own. But if I move it across here and then I break it, in other words, I stop. That stopping motion transfers the energy from my hand to the ball. That’s the same concept that we need to have in the club head when we’re trying to create maximum speed. I’ll give you an example. If we take an alignment rod and I take it back and here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to rotate hard. I’m putting a lot of effort into this. Okay? And you can hear the sound. Now, watch what happens if I take it back and I break. Okay? And you can see there I accelerated it as hard as I could. My shoulder stopped. That transferred energy to my hand, my arm. My arm stopped. That transferred energy into the tip. That’s what you need to do if you want to create maximum club head

thank you for sharing. Each instructor conveys essentially the same message but it's a good one!
Great instruction. Driver and hybrid – I slow down the hands just before impact – let club head to catch up. Uncock wrists just before impact. Not easy to get timing correctly each and every time. But I get good results. Thanks.
