Hit the Golf Ball Further: The Case Against “Low and Slow”

Brian Fitzgerald, The Golf Doctor, takes aim at the “low and slow” backswing myth in a fresh video that could change how you think about generating distance.

In his latest video, The Golf Doctor Brian Fitzgerald challenges one of golf’s most persistent myths — that taking the club back “low and slow” helps you hit the ball further. While it may look smooth and controlled, Fitzgerald argues that this approach can actually rob your swing of the energy needed to generate real clubhead speed.

Instead, he emphasizes the importance of building coil and potential energy at the top of the backswing — the key ingredients for unleashing speed at impact.

Fitzgerald breaks down why a more dynamic takeaway and a powerful coil can lead to better results than the slow-and-steady method.

If you’re chasing more distance off the tee, this is a must-watch.
