You know by now that Rory McIlroy won the 2012 PGA Championship by a record 8 strokes.
You may also know that he’s one of the longest drivers on Tour despite his modest size.
What you may not know is that he works a lot harder to create his tremendous club head speed than he needs to — and that inefficiency costs golfers like you both distance and longevity.

Check out the video below because you’ll find out how Tiger Woods gets big distance much more efficiently than McIlroy by using a more biomechanically sound golf swing sequence.
The difference comes down to how each player uses their trail side in the backswing and how the lead side controls the downswing transition. McIlroy generates power by spinning hard — Tiger generates it by loading efficiently and letting the body unwind in sequence. If you want to see exactly how your own loading compares, try the AI swing analyzer to get a frame-by-frame breakdown of your trail hip depth and lead side control.
