I know, I know. This is the 238th post/video/article you have read that promises you more distance with one magic move. You will go instantly from hitting your driver 200 to 260.

I won’t promise you that much, but I do promise you extra distance that will be worth your while to have. And all you need to do is make one tiny adjustment when you start your forward swing, and anybody can do it.

The first move you make when you start your forward swing is a sliding turn of your left hip (right hip, for lefties). Get that hip moving.

What probably happens when you do that is that your torso starts turning, too, and your arms and the club get carried with it. Everything starts moving at the same time. That’s what we have to fix.

When you turn your hip, keep your torso where it is until you have to turn it. Have the feeling, as Bobby Jones said, of leaving the club at the top.

Then, when your torso has to begin turning, the club will have less time to get back to the ball, because of the delay in getting it started. So it has to go faster. There’s no other choice.

That’s where the extra distance comes in. The extra clubhead speed, creates more distance.

And the great thing about it is that you don’t have to rush or swing harder or do anything like that. The speed creates itself, as long as you stay relaxed.

Try it. Swing a driver like you normally do. Then swing again with this delaying move. The second time, you will hear the clubhead create a higher-pitched sound when it goes through the hitting area than before. That’s the sign that it’s moving faster.

It will take a while to get this built into your swing, but it’s not hard to do. It just takes repetition to learn how to get it just right.
