I've gained considerable length. I'm almost exactly 15 yards longer with all my irons and a little more with the driver. Making the swing shorter and starting down slower makes sense for hitting it longer, right? That's why instructors have job security.

I have just started to try hitting and these, for me, are the hardest things to make yourself do:-
Throw all instinct out the window.
Stop the backstroke early.
Sense the lag.
Lean on that clubshaft with heavy heavy hands...steadily...positively...evenly until the ball is well gone.......well well gone.

Fort Knox.
