Not necessarily, depends how fast it is now.  Really slow backswings typically lead to bad tempo, at least from what I've seen.  I don't mean people to speed up the backswing to fix everything, but it shouldn't be "slow."  Pro's generally have a fast paced swing from backswing to finish.

I don't know about your students, but when I hit my tee shots longer, I also hit more greens, and hit it closer.  That's a function of having shorter shots to the greens.  So improving driving is a si

I very seldom try to speak for others, but I don't think you'll find many (any?) people on this forum who would ever recommend an approach like the bold one.  A 14-handicapper should generally be doin

I neither hit it far nor accurately today. Wish I had the choice of one or the other.

I don’t see that too often, but you’re the instructor 😊

      My Swing (saevel25)

      updated swing notes Setup - Same stuff. Good posture, weight in balls of feet, engage lower body more.  Backswing - Same stuff, hinge fully by P2 by using wrists. LBift left arm straight up to top of backswing. Control swing length, though it is way better. *Always a reminder 😊  Downswing - More of starting the downswing with lower body rotation. Getting the right hip rotating out towards the ball and around me, and the left hip goes back away from the ball and back around me. Straighten left leg as soon as possible. Still a bit of a struggle to do this.  Still the hand path and club going down behind me, feels like the right arm stays really wide and gets wider.  Though, I don't think I have poor hip flexor mobility. I stretch and move the crap out of them almost on a daily basis. It is part of my daily mobility routine for the past year.  This position is kind of wonky looking 🤣.  When I took my swing to that position and feel like I really sink my weight to the outside part of my left heel while extending the left hip more. I felt a big resistance from this area in the leg (sorry that is the right leg, blame Google). I was like, WTF! 🤣 Yea, more stretching may be needed. I wonder if I am avoiding that movement.
