In this lesson, Craig Jones explains why most golfers are chasing distance the wrong way.
If swinging harder creates more speed, then why do so many golfers actually lose distance when they try to swing harder?
The answer is simple: distance doesn’t come from effort. And it doesn’t even come from speed.
Distance comes from applying force to the golf ball at exactly the right moment.
Craig shows you how to create more effortless power by improving clubface control, eliminating tension, creating a better release, and learning how to let the clubhead whip through impact with maximum efficiency.
You’ll learn why a stronger grip helps the clubface square up naturally, how tension destroys speed, why stability is essential for power, and a simple drill that can help you start hitting the ball farther almost immediately.

Great video. Can this same grip and principle be applied to all the full swing clubs in the bag? And is this covered in your membership? I'm a pull-hook guy on my misses. I'm sure there's some excess shoulder movement and it creates an over the top path which causes this as my primary miss.

Sorry for dumb question if you have already covered this. What is the ball position for this effortless swing. For me if too forward produces a pull hook?
I've tried online lessons before and really struggled with them. Do you do any in person lessons?
