The video below of Tiger Woods' power golf swing is an excellent slow motion illustration of how you should develop, store and transfer power to the ball for maximum distance off the tee and from the fairway. Look for three excellent, proven power moves in the video.
Very significant shoulder turn with minimal hip turn (X Factor).
Hips start to turn on the downswing while the shoulders stay in the same position.
Significant wrist angle is maintained until very late in the downswing (commonly called “lag”).
While these specific golf swing positions require a high level of golf-specific strength, flexibility and balance the principles can still help your game, even if you are not in great shape or activly participating in a golf conditioning program.
This video also has some remarkable moment of impact footage.

The three factors mentioned above, especially downswing lag, ensure that incredible power is developed and delivered to the ball. The end result is increased distance with less effort.
