We all could use a little extra ball speed and distance. In this tip, Martin Chuck explains how Bryson and Phil use rotation and high hands on the backswing to hit it farther. Take these tips to the course and add a few yards off the tee!

Martin, please address in the future right foot pressure in the downswing. I have read that players like Hogan and Snead pushed off with the right foot where as Norman's slid as you indicate in this tip. Which is correct or do you suggest for a combination of power and control?
Hey Martin can’t wait to try this. Do you want to play the ball where you normally do in your stance and where you tee the ball. Thanks
Please .... heel raise, not "heal "
Good Afternoon Chuck like the tip and will look forward to taking it to the range. One question when I try to hang back in the past to smash my driver I have a tendency to either block or fade the ball. How should I counter this?
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days getting lessons from Martin. Great instructor and great guy. Martin would tell you he isn't the prototypical 6'2" pro, so for him to get 115 club head speed shows you it is in the mechanics he is sharing with us. Thanks Martin!
How do get your weight forward if you are “hanging” back and still on right side?
Thx for the great tip-still struggling to get the hinge worked out. My question is how much pressure should be placed on the feet when setting up. More pressure helps me turn initially but then a little restrictive. 72 yrs. old. Thx.
Hey Martin; love hearing you tips
One thing I've struggled with over the years with ground interaction is not posting on the back leg well (trail knee drives/slides). Are you suggesting the rear foot in transition, counter-rotates against the target/ground -a la greg norman?
What if you were a Senior in your 70’s and wanted to hinge the ball for extra speed? I can turn, just not as far, but every now and then, I feel like I have swung so easy and yet the ball travels an extra 20-25 yards! Could I be lagging the downswing to get a bigger body turn?
