Below are the tips that Bryson DeChambeau shared on Golf.com:
"1. Reach for it: Look how high and around my hands are. The farther I raise them from the ball, the more time and distance I have to apply force leading up to impact.
2. Torque at the top: I like to feel tension in my left shoulder at the top, just as my hips start to unwind. This rotational force is a serious power multiplier.
3. Max out your hip turn: One of my goals is to get my rear end facing the target at the top. This ensures a full turn and stops any kind of sway off the ball.
4. Raise the roof: As I take the club back, I want the sensation of weightlessness. See how my front foot is off the ground. This helps me create force back into the ground coming down."
