Swing SLOWER & Hit the Ball FURTHER (But Why?)

Mike Deeley of Easiest Swing clarifies the common confusion between tempo (speed) and timing (sequence). He explains that a swing that feels 'too fast' is usually just uncoordinated, and demonstrates the 'La Danse Du Golf' drill to help golfers synchronize their body with the club's weight for effortless distance.

• Tempo is the speed of the movement (miles per hour), while timing is the sequence (1-2-3-4).
• Simply slowing down your tempo often leads to shorter distances and inconsistent strikes.
• A swing feels 'fast' when body parts are opposing each other or moving out of sequence.
• The 'La Danse Du Golf' drill coordinates the body from head to toe with the weight of the club.
• True clubhead speed comes from improved timing and coordination, not physical exertion.
