The OP is clearly not a person who gives up when frustrated and we call these people "golfers." So....tossing the clubs in the trash barrel is not the advice he wants.

Distance is all about timing, rhythm and lower body. Distance comes from the angles, knees and hips. But.....the upper body has to cooperate with that rhythm and here we're talking about Moses' input on hand speed. The hands and wrists cock at the top of the backswing, and are virtually passive after that. The arm motion is like "ringing a bell," and the VERY rapid wrist movement is really created by the arm swing and it all happens at the very bottom. Nothing at all like a baseball swing. In the swing, when your hands are below your waist, the club head is still above your head.

But yeah, distance comes from the lower body. Upper body has to play the same game. Keep looking for a pro who can help you better. There is nothing like a good pro watching you swing.
