The longer the lever ... the greater the power ... ANNND the smaller the effort

also ... swing fwd not around ... only come around when the arm no longer extends toward target

key impact thoughts: maintain spine angle - focus on ball - steady head - sync the fwd weight shift precisely at time of impact

make sure wrist is in ulnar deviation and extension in the backswing ... and then release the ulnar deviation into neutral thru impact ... however, at impact wrist is still in extension albeit less pronounced

Use the chest (pects) to power rotation ... feel pectorals stretch and then pull the arm into impact ... do not use the arm only
