Everything We Know About Hitting It Further

PGA professional James Wiltshire sits down with coaches James Rooney and Liam Robinson to discuss how top golfers increase swing speed and driving distance. They demonstrate key concepts including dynamic mass shifting for pressure creation, trail-arm release drills with an alignment stick, and step-off sequencing drills.

• Pressure in the ground cannot shift effectively without first shifting body mass.
• Solid center-face contact is required to translate extra clubhead speed into actual ball speed.
• Use a split-hand feel with an alignment rod or upside-down club to isolate trail-arm release against chest stability.
• Incorporate step drills to teach dynamic transition timing, spine extension, and core activation.
