can you actually achieve more distance by swinging easy and by having a good tempo?

Re: distance
If by "easy" you mean slow...no. There still has to be good accelaration. It just can look easy when done right. A "good tempo" is simply the idea that all the moving parts work together in connected timming. One part not taking over as a dominate force. Each part contributing to the other part in a sequence. That gives you more distance. -
Re: distance
If by easy you mean without too much tension, yes, you get more, as now centrifugal force and muscular elasticity take over.
As for tempo, the pro's have a tempo of 3:1 backswing to throughswing. When their tempo breaks down, so does their shotmaking ability.
Thus, yes, tempo is important.Comment

Re: distance
Ahhh another seeker of truth and distance......
Only way to hit the ball further is a faster clubhead, better tempo will cause this as will an increased shoulder turn and a stronger swing. Equipment adjustments will also help, lighter more flexible shafts are the key. But dont sacrifice accuracy for distance. Its easier to attack a pin from 180 yards in the fairway than 130 yards in the cabbage.
