Four myths
Four beliefs that cost you distance
Almost every golfer hears these at some point. They sound logical, and they still keep you from hitting it farther.
More strength = more distance
What really matters: timing and clean energy transfer. Swing with brute force and you tense up and slow the club down.
More body rotation = more speed
What really matters: using your arms and wrists the right way. Less turn often means more clubhead speed. Turn less, hit further.
More technique = a better swing
What really matters: one simple thought that creates one simple movement. Too many instructions lead to overthinking, tension, and unnecessary movement.
More gym = more power
What really matters: movement efficiency, because distance is physics. I don't go to the gym myself, and my personal drive record is 443 yards.
Function over form
Not every fault is a fault
In traditional golf instruction, a lot counts as a fault simply because it deviates from the textbook swing. But not every one of those moves is automatically bad. Some so-called swing faults are actually a source of speed.
So it comes down to one question: What actually creates efficient movement and speed in your swing? The focus isn't on a perfect, complicated swing. It's on a swing that works.
I don't have a picture-perfect swing myself, and I still hit it farther than almost anyone.
The difference
Traditional golf instruction and Drive Coach Robin compared
How it often goes
The traditional approach
- Lots of technical instructions at once
- The goal is a textbook swing
- Anything that deviates from the ideal gets trained out as a fault
- More strength and more rotation are supposed to bring more distance
- Concepts that sound good in theory
How I work
Drive Coach Robin
- One simple thought that creates one simple movement
- The goal is a swing that works for you
- Every move is judged by whether it creates speed
- Ease, timing, and energy transfer bring the distance
- Proven concepts you can take to the course
Less turn and the right use of your arms: In the video, I show you what that looks like in practice.
Theory and practice
Only what works on the course counts
A concept is only as good as your ability to use it on the course. Many classic golf concepts sound great in theory and fall apart the moment you're standing on the tee.
I've tried most of them myself. Only the concepts that held up in practice stayed. That's why my coaching always comes back to the same topics: effortless speed, ease, swing efficiency, natural movement, and making it work on the course.
Bernd Rithammer
3 mph more club speed
“Working with Robin is a real pleasure. We talked through a few ideas and then put some new swing thoughts into practice. That led straight to a 3 mph gain in club speed. I think every golfer can benefit from what Robin knows about increasing clubhead speed.”
Armin K.
Driving distance from 197 to 241 yards
“I took my driving distance from 197 yards to an actual 241 yards. I can only recommend Robin's coaching.”
Miro B.
Club speed from 92 to over 100 mph
“Robin is a brilliant coach. We took my maximum club speed from 92 mph to over 100 mph!”
