  1. I feel that this video conflicts with a previous video, "JT fixed my swing in 15 minutes," where the lesson was on not overturning one's hips. In that video, the suggestion was to use a one piece backswing until your hips were about 45 degrees turned and then, leaving your hip turn where it is, complete your turn using the shoulders. That previous video made a significant difference in my swing because it keeps me from overturning my hips, which made it difficult to get back open at impact. I understand that previous video was about iron play and this was about improving distance with a driver. Still, that right-hand only drill encourages a hip turn that is really excessive, or so it seems to me. Should you turn your hips more than 45 degrees in order to get more distance? McIlroy is so flexible, he can turn 45 degrees with his hips and still get the butt of the club behind his head. That doesn't seem attainable for those of us who are less flexible and don't have the time to work on getting to McIlroy's flexibility.

  2. What should 99% of golfers do to extend their backswing? Put down the golf clubs. Go join Yoga class. You can one arm backswing all day and night, but if you can't turn in position farther than you already do and still see the ball correctly when you put that lead arm on the club – nothing will matter. Mobility is the issue.

  3. This instruction definitely deals with a problem I have always struggled with from day one and that is not having a FULL backswing. The half backswing I have is sooooo ingrained and habitual that it is near impossible to change it when I try and make a full backswing. I am looking forward (if it ever stops raining!) to trying the one-arm drill. Thank you Eric for another great instructional video.

  4. John Rahm proves you guys wrong.
    My backswing is more around and flatter plane also way shorter yet I bom it!
    280 yards easy!

  5. Every golfer wants to hit the ball further. I’m closing in on seventy with old football injuries and arthritis. I like to think of my swing as a controlled swing to keep the ball in the fairway. I hit the ball from 230 to 250 yards. Yes I could try to gain the extra ten to fifteen yards but for me it’s not worth what I would be giving up. Love the video Eric, you’re the best.

  6. Cool thought to focus on getting butt of club as far away from ball target line as possible by moving hands up and back at top of backswing for extra length and power.
