This month is another distance tip. There seems to be a huge number of my clients that are asking for more distance off the tee. The first thing you need for more distance is the ability to turn your shoulders. If you are not physically able to turn your shoulders then gaining distance should not be your primary goal. The next item of the agenda is the ability to swing your arms with force. If you think that you are going to hurt the golf ball then distance should not be your primary concern. Okay, seriously here is an exercise and a tip for everyone should give a try.

Exercise

Take your normal set up position. Now grab your club at the hosel and the grip. Make your back swing and hold the top of the back swing position for ten seconds. Do that twenty (20) times. Please remember to go slowly and do not go forward past the impact position coming back down.

Tip

Follow the instructions carefully and you will gain many yards of distance. Good luck.

1. Take your normal address position.

2. Swing the club back slowly to the top of your swing.

3. Turn your left shoulder over your right knee.

Now the easy part: Just swing the arms as fast as possible from the top of the swing. Do not try to delay or hold back anything. You need that arm speed in order catch up to the turning of your body. That is the key to hitting the golf ball long and with a slight draw.
