Today's tip comes from the Frogger YouTube library which is full of great golf instruction videos by our own resident pro Kris Moe.
Kris uses a dog to of all things to demonstrate how a golf club works as a lever, and how we can generate more power and thus more distance. Though Kris does not refer to it specifically, he's talking about the "lag" in a golf swing, which the angle between the arms and the club. The smaller the angle, the more the angle or lever will release. The more it releases, the more club head speed it generates.
Club head speed = distance.
