Summary

We all know that hitting drives further is an important way to lower our scores. And while speed training and better strength make a difference, there are gains to be had at your current swing speed. In this episode, Mark and Lou talk through some of the basic adjustments you can make to your equipment, setup, and swing that gain two clubs off the tee without swinging faster.

0:37.9	but you're not allowed to swing harder, stroke faster. So I want to add 20 yards to
0:43.2	golfers, but I don't want to swing faster, them to swing faster or harder. If they do by accident,
