Rushing the downswing with your driver feels exactly like leaving the house late — you don't have enough time and you have to force everything. Eric Cogorno and Golf Digest Top In State instructor Steve Sieracki show that the fix isn't in the downswing at all — it's in building enough time and space in the backswing so the downswing sequences itself. Four moves — trail leg extension, spine extension and tilt, trail arm abduction, and shoulder retraction — give any golfer a longer backswing, a more effortless golf swing, and significantly more driver distance without swinging harder. These easy golf swing tips work especially well for seniors who want to know how to hit driver farther with less effort. If you leave this video without trying the trail arm only drill, you're leaving driver distance and an effortless golf swing on the table.

What You'll Learn:
• Why rushing the downswing is almost always caused by being out of position in the backswing golf swing
• How trail leg extension is the first and most important move for a longer backswing and more driver distance
• The Fosbury flop analogy: spine extension and tilt for a more effortless golf swing with driver
• How trail arm abduction and shoulder retraction contribute to a fuller golf shoulder turn and more turn depth
• The trail arm only drill for isolating backswing depth and feeling all four moves together
• Why Hideki Matsuyama's long slow driver swing rhythm is the feel reference for stopping the rush
• How to hit driver farther by lengthening the backswing — not by swinging harder through the ball
• Easy golf swing tips for seniors who want more driver distance with less effort and less rushing
