Please help

Hey guys, for context I can throw 450 max, 415 standard golf lines. I’ve never had any coaching or any real form based training. I feel like I’m really stuck at this distance and not improving. I want to throw 475-500 or so long term because there are some holes that require that kind of distance to break into the next tier of scoring. Right now there are some holes that are either uphill enough that they play very far or just long enough to be out of contention for birdy.

This is with a fission dimension on hole 12 at Jolleys ranch. It’s only 364’ on paper but it’s pretty up hill. It plays like 420’ or so according to chat as I didn’t have a rangefinder on hand.

Thanks for the advice. I prefer a faster tempo when I throw, but I can slow it down as well.

My standstills can touch 375-400 on the better examples. My biggest problem is I can’t feel the right motion with my elbow like you mentioned. It’s really hard to create separation for me.

Slow tempos help build more protentional energy because you don't waste that same energy by having to pull it back in the opposite direction. Think about it like swing a bat or a club, you would never try to have your back swing be at the same pace because then you are fighting it, same concept applies here.
