was at the range today with my Mrs and although she strikes the ball well - always goes straight and usually hits sweetspot, her shots seem to lack distance.

Her drives are maybe only going 140 yards and hybrid 100 yards?? around half what i hit and much less than my 12 year old son.


I hit the ball pretty far, but am unsure how much is height/build/ or technique so am unable to help her. She seems to make a decent shoulder turn and weight transfer but maybe her hands/wrists seem passive compared to me?

Difficult without video i know - but can anyone tell me what are the main sources of loss of power and any drills that may help

many thanks
