b. make sure, as best you can, you use equipment that suits you
c. hold the "hit" until the very last moment and then "pop" the release
d. make sure your left side clears out the way earlier enough to create space for the right side to follow the club through impact

BUT: don't be too obsessed about distance. 240 yards is fine to be able to score in the 70's .... it's long enough and it's straight ... you might gain 20 or 30 yards but with that gain might come some inconsistency.
Thank you for your advice

I was taught by a PRO before and did remember he ever said that the left hand grip are to be tight only on the thumb and 2nd finger , is that true ?

Thanks
