Just watch any really good player hit drives. When he wants to hit it farther, he simply "fires" his hips and that does it! His hips lead his shoulders, stretching his back muscles which then fling his shoulders and arms around, "popping the whip" and flinging the clubhead through the ball. Distance has NOTHING to do with using arms or hands consciously--in fact that actually slows the clubhead.
Watch these long drivers hit it 300+ with a Whippy driver --the shaft as flexible as a flyrod. Watch their hips!!!
