If you’re losing distance, your backswing might actually be too slow and controlled. Many golfers think slowing the club down creates better accuracy or more power, but it often removes the speed needed to generate distance. A quicker backswing with a smooth transition helps you load the body properly and swing through with more force. Practice adding speed going back and then letting it flow through impact.

I've read Tour Tempo as well! 🏌️⛳
Not with those legs!!
Accuracy > Power for 90% of the golfers worldwide imo.
That wasn't as fast as I anticipated. I was thinking he was going to go flash fast
Every few years, all these so call coaches changes their teaching concept. I swear I've seen videos of Andy and Piers teaching this differently.
Ask Cameron Young…..
Disagree. There are tour players who even pause and then go… What abt those guys?
So Nicklaus, Palmer, Snead …..all wrong? Huh
Fast must be relative. It doesn’t look crazy fast.
no ways – slow back and slow down is best for me 💪🏻 i get a decent strike and decent distance with a slower swing – don’t look for distance , distance will find u
think slow back and slower down – works well – u will be surprised how sweet the strike is
NOPE
But you're not actually explaining to us why a faster backswing works better. I would like to know.
Hideki begs to differ
Transition needs to match tempo of backswing, yep. Otherwise, you just yank the club around.
Looks normal to me, certainly not long drive guys speed which looks mental, would take accuracy of distance any day.
