Now, Dechambeau’s dedication to distance driving has helped make him one of the best at it. His skills are held in high regard, and so is his advice to anyone wanting to know more about the particulars. “What I was doing was just trying to swing as fast as possible to get it to go as far well, that caused a concussion,” he said.

According to DeChambeau, that is certainly not the ‘right way to go’, and one should avoid swinging fast when they are hitting hard. “That’s the key though, that is the key because you don’t need to accelerate the club really fast here, you need to be accelerating, or need to have the speed right down through impact, right.” he explained.

DeChambeau further spoke about the ball speed, and how one needs a longer, softer, and wider swing for a higher speed.
