You must tell yourself this, and learn to believe it ...
"Distance comes from the inside"
When your hip is out of the way, your arms can drop freely. They don't have to waste power trying to move around your hip, but can attack the ball in the same way that an axe attacks a log of wood - in a straight, powerful line.
When your arms can drop straight, then you have all the room between your shoulders and the ball to release your hands and club into, completely unhindered and at full force.
The clubhead will be attacking the ball at speeds you will NEVER be able to reach coming over the top.
So spend some time at home - not even using a club in your hands - just trying to "kick and turn" that hip out of the way. You will find that your arms and hands AUTOMATICALLY drops to exactly the point where you want the Right Hand Drill to take over.
Hands are in the slot, wrists properly cocked and you can just KILL that ball.
But you MUST believe that the power comes from the inside. If you are in doubt, you will hurry your arms and all things will go to hell.
I know - I've been there (mighty HOT down there btw
)
