In this episode, we dive into the secrets behind hitting longer, more powerful drives, inspired by the legendary Jack Nicklaus. Many golfers mistakenly look for power in their upper body, which leads to lunging and losing their center. To truly unlock your power, the key is lengthening your backswing and harnessing the strength in your legs.

In this video, we break down how to improve the length of your backswing, starting with a simple drill—putting the club behind your back to engage your upper body twist. We’ll also cover the crucial hand positioning that will help you get your backswing hand all the way to your ear, just like Jack Nicklaus did. By incorporating the power of your legs into your swing, you’ll see how to generate more distance while maintaining control and precision.

Jack Nicklaus was known for his ability to generate tremendous power and accuracy, even with clubs like the 1-iron. We’ll explore clips from the 1972 Pebble Beach tournament to highlight how his full backswing and leg drive helped him hit long, straight shots. Even later in his career, Nicklaus maintained incredible distance with a more compact swing, all thanks to his focus on leg power.
