Send us a textWant to hit it farther without wrecking your back or your confidence? We sit down with long drive champion Eddie Fernandes to unpack a smarter path to speed—one that starts with better movement, safe rotation, and a nervous system that says yes instead of no. Eddie explains why fast arms and strong hands are the true engine of clubhead speed, how to load the trail side without shredding the lumbar spine, and why cadence beats “ripping from the top” when you want both power and control.Eddie walks us through his Rotex Motion warm-up: five intentional drills that push rotational limits beyond swing demands so the body feels free, oily, and ready on swing one. He shares why air swings often backfire and how impact-based training triggers bracing that protects joints and converts effort into ball speed. We get into the design of his HITS driver—adjustable weights, real contact, and clear protocols—and how he turns after-session spikes into on-course speed within 8 to 16 weeks. No hype, just a repeatable process built on mobility, impact, and disciplined progression.We also dig into mindset. Eddie’s 82 at Pebble followed by 68 at Spyglass shows how emotional skill and acceptance unlock performance under pressure. Expect practical insights on rotational mobility, arms-led speed, sequencing, and realistic goal setting, plus why training indoors helps you focus on the metric that matters. If you want sustainable distance, healthier movement, and a calmer head over the ball, this conversation gives you the blueprint.If this episode helps your game, follow the show, share it with a golf friend who needs speed, and leave a quick review to tell us your biggest takeaway.Support the showTo find Justin best, please find him on Instagram @elitegolfswing or email him, [email protected] To find Jesse best, also find him on Instagram @flaghuntersgolfpod or TEXT him, (831)275-8804.
