A number of my students want more distance. Who doesn't ??? Here is a tip that will allow your shoulders to turn back against a firm right knee. A firm right knee will help brace the backswing and create torque. Torque is the reason a person who is 5 foot can hit the ball further than a person who is 7 foot tall. Create torque and you will create more distance. Think of torque as a spring loading and unloading.

Here is the tip:

1. Take your normal stance.
2. Pick up your right foot and point it toward the golf ball.
3. Maintain some flex in your right knee.
4. Take your normal backswing. Feel as though you are sitting into your right knee.

This tip will allow you to create more torque. The more torque you have in your backswing the faster your can swing the club coming forward. Good luck!
