Very few instructors know abut this. I have been playing golf for 20 years and have had multiple coaches. No one ever mentioned the correlation on backswing and distance. It works!
Hey Zach, good to see you back. Long time subscriber and watcher. I am a healthy 67 year old man and play to about a 15 handicap. My drives generally go 220 yards on an flat fairway. 5-iron goes 170. I fractured my right Hip in January 2023 and it has been 15 weeks since. I completed 2 and a half months of Physical Therapy. Fortunately, the Surgeon did NOT have to do a complete Hip Replacement, but instead placed some screws/pins in the fracture. I have gotten a Green light from my Physician to return to physical activity including my golf. I hit balls on the range yesterday and no pain whatsoever. Obviously, I'm not as flexible as before in my golf swing, but I hit balls pretty well. I have completed 2 and a half months of Physical Therapy and I have also been doing stretches for my lower back and Hip. QUESTION: As I prepare for my 1st round of golf this week (May 17, 2023), what words of advice to you have for me?
Agree fast works, HOWEVER, instructors (at the top) use many terms to transition - (fall comes to mind) weight moves to the front leg, hips pivot etc - THE QUESTION - the good or bad of HESITATION at the top --- when the body naturally transitions toward the left side, bad or good if there is a momentary stop or hesitation --- or does that cut back on swing speed, thanks
ffs i have the fastest backswing in the world, ( im not joking), my coach tells me its too quick and i yank it inside now this guy is saying to swing back faster, no wonder no one is getting better, so much conflicting advice! by the way i have good speed and hit it nowhere cos it aint coming out the centre of the face,,, thats what counts!!!!!
Make sure it is fast with the big muscles. Because they can’t move that fast. The hands and wrist are much more fast twitch and can definitely move too fast.

Well said!
Ironically I have been working on this lately. This is great advice with no gimmicks and best of all it is free. Zach Allen is an elite teacher.
Thanks appreciate that
Best golf video I've seen on TH-cam for quite some time. Thank you Zach!
Thanks for sharing Zach, trying this at the range tonight!
Zack is one of the top teachers in the world, he speaks where we all can understand.
Thank for that great compliment. Appreciate it

Sorry got to this so late, how did it go?
Thanks Zach - great video for ground up speed training>> Great goals for me to try!!
How does that square with the 3:1 backswing-downswing tempo ratio idealized on the app? Is 3:1 more for the course?

Zach is such a great teacher. I'm a terrible golfer and would love to get a lesson from him
Anytime you are in CA
I'd love to see you dancing with your slip on's your feet 🎸
Definitely don’t want to see that. 😂
So how does Hideki Matsuyama do it?
Wow.. a $700.00 wearable... I think I will try something else :( but thank you for a very informative session.
Ya unfortunately it’s not cheap. But some will definitely believe it’s worth it.
£500 quid for a watch timer? shit the bed! 😂
Nice. Actually it is not a watch timer but you carry on deluding yourself :)
