Thank you for this training tip. I’m 59 and my distances were decreasing because I was slowing down my swing, I went out today after watching this video and my distances today were the best in over two years.
Thank you!!

I believe that’s a really good tip. Often times if we swing back to fast, we don’t strike the ball a solid/square. I would really like to see a video on fixing my slice. Thank you for everything, I enjoy the videos.

Great tip, Ericka. Got immediate results. 15 to 20 more yards on my drive this morning!!. No loss of accuracy. Thank you.

Ericka does the fast-slow -fast work for the mid irons as well?

Your tips are always concise and to the point. I wish I were closer to get some instruction.

Just went to the driving range and ..... it worked! I had a slow - slow - fast swing, with mixed results. Changing it to your fast - slow- fast suggestion made an instant difference. I hit them straighter and farther!

Great tip ...

Thanks

Should we have a fast backswing with irons as well as with the driver?

I have an orange whip trainer which is encouraging this way of playing.

G'day Erika,
My Golf started in the era of slowly back etcetera. I have been working towards what you are teaching and regaining some of the distance lost of the tee.
