Want to Get a Better Swing & Hit the Ball Farther Immediately, Do This
What is a big key to a great golf swing?

According to Daniel Guest, a Top 100 Golf Coach, the answer is simple: the ability to create more clubhead speed.
“In anything in life I always look for what do the most successful players do,” Daniel said in a recent Imagen Golf Podcast “When I’m looking at a Rory or a Scottie or a Rahm or a Bryson, that’s what intrigues me the most.”
Guest, a quickly rising Top 100 teacher who presented at the recent golf instruction summit and whose notable students include one of the top Long Drive Professionals, Jacob Molnar, echoed the sentiments held by other new-age teaching pros, such as George Gankas.

“I have them focus on putting athleticism back into their swing,” Guest said. “Let the hips turn. Let the lead heel come up. Let the lead arm bend a little. Let them cock the wrist a little more at the top … And it’s amazing, they improve, immediately.”
Much of Guest’s teaching is feel oriented. “When a student can feel the change we’re going for they can replicate it, Guest said. “We are not analytics or video driven.” Guest added “We never take data and videos from the best players in the world and compares that to our students, it just doesn’t make sense.”

“While technology gives us access to so much information these days,” Guest said. “I’ll highlight what (my students) are doing and get to work on their weakest link are preventing them from the swing and game they’ve always imagined.”
The common denominator for all those elite players? Not picture perfect technique, but creating clubhead speed and therefore, distance.
One of the ways players can generate this speed is by using the ground to their advantage. Using BodiTrak, Guest can see that the best players shift “off the ball” or away from the target during their initial takeaway.
And then from shaft parallel to the top of the backswing, those players get quickly back to their lead side to get into a powerful attacking position.
Improvement in golf is never easy, but if you add clubhead speed to your swing, you’ll be one step closer.
