[Case Study] How To Increase Your Driving Distance By “29.5 Yards” In 30 Minutes
I’m going to share with you a case study where we helped one of our students to gain a massive 29.5 yards on his drives in one 30 minute session and still hit the ball straight.
247 to 276.5 – An increase of 29.5 yards!
One simple change in this golfer’s technique dramatically changed how he delivered the club to the ball. He achieved instant results and was able to push his game forwards with his new found distance and accuracy and you can do the same!
Increasing Distance
There are two main reasons why your golf ball doesn’t fly as far as you would like it to.
- Your club head speed is too low.
- You’re not hitting the ball optimally.
Increasing your club head speed is a great way to increase your driving distance and if you can keep pushing your speed up, the distance will follow. You can find out more info on how we help our students increase club head speed in our Swing Speed Secrets training.
Every 1 mph that you are able to increase your club head speed equates to an increase of 3 yards in distance assuming similar launch conditions.
In our Swing Speed Secrets training we, use several different tactics such as increasing lag and snap angle to result in incredible club head speed.
In most cases, an improvement in the way you strike the ball can also have a dramatic effect in increasing driving distance. In some cases, I have seen students increase their driving distance by up to 40 -50 yards!

What Was Wrong
In this case study, the cause of the weak ball flight was pretty obvious. The player had a strong swing and generated a lot of club head speed but his distance was very low in comparison to the speed he generated. He also had a very wide spread of shots and the ball flight was inconsistent, which all indicated that the strike of the shot was poor.
The numbers said it all!
Low smash factor = poor strike
Poor contact is normally the number 1 cause for short, wayward drives and if you can improve the contact, then you will find that your spread of shots will tighten up and the distance will increase dramatically.
A simple change in your technique will have a dramatic effect on the quality of your shots.
The Turn Around
Poor ball striking generally comes from an unbalanced body turn in the golf swing. By improving in the weight transfer and balance of the swing, you will be able to achieve a centred strike more consistently.
The player in this case wasn’t allowing his body weight to transfer into the right leg on the back swing which in turn caused a really cramped and awkward looking impact position.
A simple drill of allowing the body weight to turn into the right leg going back but then fully clear on the way through completely changed his strike.
Weight transferred into the right leg
When the weight is transferred correctly into the right leg, you are able to create coil and leverage which are the key elements to generating speed.
More importantly however, the club will be correctly set at the top of the backswing ready to deliver the club squarely into the ball at impact.
Your new back swing has set the body in a position where it should automatically clear through impact and all you need to do from here is to allow that to happen.
As long as you don’t try to stay down on the shot or try to keep your head down, you will have a clear impact and powerful, well struck shots.
The Improvement
The improvement of the body motion during the swing helped the player in this case study to reduce his dynamic loft (loft at impact) which in turn reduced the spin rate. The change also improved the centeredness of strike and club head speed which massively improved the ball speed.

So there you have it…….
One simple little change in your body rotation and weight transfer will help you to improve;
- Your delivery of the club at impact
- Your consistency of strike
- Your club head speed
- Your ball speed
- Your spin rate
- Your overall distance by 29.5 yards!
Key Takeaways
Here are the big takeaways that you should remember from this case study
- Number 1. The first question you should ask yourself when trying to fix a faulty ball flight is “Is the strike centred?”
- Number 2. The main cause for miss-struck golf shots is a faulty weight transference and body rotation.
- Number 3. Turn the body weight into the right leg on the back swing and then fully release through, to achieve a consistent strike.
