Either case where do I begin drill wise etc. to get there. I have tried the right arm only and can't really make good contact with the ball which of course limits the distance.

As a thought process I drive my right hard as I can from the end of my backswing very hard right from the start. It is a reduced backswing so I do not believe I have over accelerated before I hit the ball.

Don't take this the wrong way, but why did you switch if you were striking the ball better swinging?
