Starting the downswing

Whenever you're ready mate.

If you want to hit your driver further you're going to need CLUB HEAD SPEED. Get an old broom handle and swing it in the garden. You want as much swishing sound as you can get right through the impact zone... it'll give you the opportunity to experiment with stance and rotation.
 
If my swing is getting a little too quick I use the 1 2 3 backswing count then 123 through swing, that way Im not having to concentrate on anything but counting. Im already aiming where I want to go, have decided on what shot so only need to count and by the time you get to the first 3 you shouldbe just hitting the top of the swing, then a slightly faster 123 back down to impact.
After reading that back to myself it looks ok hope it makes sense to others!
 
To be honest I try to think about the golf swing as little as possible and just let it happen.
I feel we all "think" far to much when we're playing this game. It's well known that having too many thoughts in your head leads to problems so I try to keep mine as clear as possible.
Too many thoughts spoils the drive!
