Longer club, longer backswing: let it gather

With a longer club, the coach tries to make his backswing take longer to get to the top, then accelerate his arms and hands harder at the bottom, rather than jumping on it from the top of his swing. He describes his speed picking up at the bottom of the swing, a feel he calls letting it gather.

Coach says 'let it gather' is a word he uses a lot with his tour players.
