I see many amateurs swing back from the ball way to fast in an attempt to hit further. This usualy results in an over swing, a loss of control and mis-struck, weak shots.
The speed of the backswing has no relevance to the distance of the shot. Think of an Archer, would pulling the bow string back quickly enable him to fire the arrow further? No. Would pulling it back smoothly and controlled give him a better chance of hitting his target? Yes.
