Let the core of your body rotate back on the backswing and initi-
ate the downswing.
The core should move parallel to the target for a brief moment while it
is rotating quickly for power. The speed that the core rotates is the engine
for power of the swing.

Make sure that you have at least a 90-degree angle or less with
the lead arm and the shaft at the top of the swing.
With this angle, we want the club to release at the bottom of the swing
– not early like many amateur golfers do. If you can let the club release
on its own, you are better off than trying to force the release. Turning the
club over to square it up is less effective than allowing the club to release.
Finally, when it comes to equipment, there are a couple of things to
keep in mind. In terms of drivers, I'd say this whether
you're a touring professional or a weekend golfer: Get the
driver club fit – as well as all of your clubs, while you're at
it – to your specifications by a qualified club fitter with a
good reputation.
Do some research on who is a good fitter in your area.
The fitter will figure out what the best shaft, head, loft,
and setup is for you to maximize distance and accuracy.
Trust me, this will make all the difference in the world
And don't forget the ball. It can make a big difference as well.
My recommendation is to ask your club fitter or golf instructor, some-
one who knows your game, to give you some choices. Usually golfers
with slower speeds and lower trajectories need golf balls that can spin
more to keep them in the air, and those with faster club speeds and
higher trajectories need balls that spin less to keep the ball from getting
too high or spinning too much.
