Top 100 Teacher Joe Plecker details a five-step instruction guide designed to help golfers generate more clubhead speed and driving distance. The guide outlines the proper synchronization between ground reaction forces and the upper body, comparing the ideal mechanics to using a flywheel during the takeaway, transition, and release.
