Do you feel like you are swinging hard, but getting nothing on your tee shots?  Try this for a few extra yards: 

At address, grip the club lightly so you have NO tension in the hands and arms, and maintain it throughout the swing.  Then, focus simply on turning your front shoulder under your chin to ensure a full coil.  Once you feel the top of the shoulder slide under your chin, focus on making a full, balanced finish.  Swing in control and hold your pose until the ball stops rolling.  

Try this doing some practice swings without a ball so you are not “ball-conscious” as you swing.  Then, swing and let the ball get in the way.  Remember: relaxed, soft muscles generate more club head speed than do tense, tight ones.
