Here's a great drill to help you gain some power and leverage in your swing. Frogger pro Kris Moe demonstrates the "battering ram" drill. If you were trying to break down a door with a stick or a golf club, you wouldn't "flip" your wrists to do it. You would not use just your arms either. You'd use a combination of your body and arms to achieve the full amount of power. The same applies to the golf swing.

Once again, you don't get power or speed in the golf swing from flipping your wrists. Power is not achieved by only arm action either. The combination of the upper body turn with the release of the arms will result in optimal power and speed, which equals more distance.
