In the constant quest for distance, most amateur golfers are frustrated, believing they’ve hit their maximum speed potential. The truth, however, is that nearly Every Golfer Is Leaving At Least 20 Yards on the Table due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the modern downswing and the source of speed.
Our featured video, “The New Downswing – Every Golfer Is Leaving At Least 20 Yards on the Table,” reveals the key principles of power and lag that the best players use, showing exactly why the amateur swing lacks speed and how to fix it immediately.
The Downswing Myth: Arms vs. Hips
The biggest flaw exposed in the video is the misconception that arm speed generates power. The title’s powerful statement, “YOUR HIPS DON’T CREATE SPEED (but this does)”, points to the fact that while the hips initiate the sequence, true clubhead speed comes from the correct kinetic chain.
The video highlights that many golfers:
- Over-Rotate Early: They fire their hips too aggressively or too early, which pushes the club out and causes the shoulders to fire over the top, destroying lag and speed.
- Lack Lag: Without the correct sequence, the club is released too early (casting), robbing the swing of the “whip” effect that transfers power to the ball.
- Lose Connection: The arms disconnect from the body, leading to an inconsistent low point and poor contact.
The New Downswing: The Sequence for 20+ Yards
The New Downswing methodology focuses on optimizing the SEQUENCE OF THE GOLF SWING, ensuring the lag built in the backswing is maintained until the final moment of impact. This is the fastest way to Add Distance Fast:
- The Hip Start: The hips must initiate the movement, but the focus must be on creating separation and space, not just rotation. The lower body pulls the hands and club down from the inside.
- Maintain Lag: The key to those extra 20 yards is holding that crucial angle (lag) between the forearm and the shaft longer, releasing it only through the impact zone for maximum acceleration.
- Extension Through Impact: A full, balanced finish confirms the proper release and extension were achieved, maximizing the swing’s radius and speed.
Unlocking Your Full Potential
By understanding that the speed is latent in the proper SEQUENCE OF THE GOLF SWING —and not in brute arm force—every golfer can tap into this unused power. This is the simple, crucial fix that immediately leads to longer, straighter drives.
