Work on Hip Flexibility.The least flexible part of most adults is their hips. Which is tragic because that’s one of the most important part of a PGA level golf swing. Before you step up to the greens then be sure to work on them either in the gym or at least while stretching
Go for a fuller swing. When you’re working on your form, you obviously reduce the size of your swing but to increase your actual speed and nail your driver an extra 20-50 yards you’ll need as much momentum behind that ball as possible.
Increase the speed of your backswing. If you’re actually flexible, this is where your advantage really comes in. Going faster on your backswing in a controlled way allows you to treat your hips and back muscles like an elastic band as your wind them back and get ready to rip. (Warning: Doing this will IMMEDIATELY let you know just how inflexible you are 😂)
Keep your wrists relaxed. One of the biggest things people forget when they’re swinging their clubs is that your forearms are a very useful tool. If you really want to stay at the 100 mph+ club head speed, utilizing that extra muscle is one of the only ways to do it.
Try 5 rapid breaths and hold the last one out.This will definitely be the most awkward one to try out and get used to but it’s a well known fact that breathwork drastically improves focus. So the next time you step up to the driving range for practice, see how changing up breathing on your approach helps to prime your body.
Longer and more flexible shafts for your driver. Now I’m not going to say that the “only thing keeping you from being better is a new club”…HOWEVER, the data does show that just increasing your club length 2-3 inches can equate up to an 8 mph increase in club swing

UPDATE: USGA Is Coming for Our Golf Balls (Kind of)
If you remember…
I kind of was rude to the USGA last week when we talked about a new “golf ball rollback” announcement.
Well, it is officially out exactly what they want to do with our golf balls.
And I kind of overreacted…
In 54 seconds or less here is exactly what the USGA is planning on doing 📺
Simply put,
The ball regulations the organization is trying to put in place would reduce the swing distance by people like Rory McIlroy by at MOST 15 yards and the average people (those who can’t swing their club 126 mph) only 7-9 yards.
As I am stubborn though,
(Not surprising since I still refuse to give up the love of a game that makes me very frustrated very often 😂)
I do think my concern for this is rather valid because like with most newly imposed regulation…where does this end?
The aforementioned Rory McIlroy is vehemently against this move by the USGA as he uninentionally broke the USGA’s other regulations with his Driver.
The move to increase restrictions on golf balls could possibly make room for other restrictions, they already announced they will be looking at “Drivers next”
If you want more info on the exact regulations made you can check out either the official report the USGA gave OR the synopsis written by Golf.com’s Jack Hirsh
