GOLF TIP OF THE MONTH
By: Bob Schade
Now that everyone understands how to set their wrists, the next step is the shoulders. The turning of the shoulders is a key element in the golf swing. The more you turn your shoulders the more power you can store. The two pictures below will illustrate how to do a drill that will help each and every one of you get more shoulder turn. Follow the instructions below and you will be able to store more power on your backswing.
1. Take your normal address position.
2. Grab the hosel end of the club with your left hand. Palm up.
3. Grab the grip end of the club with your right hand. Palm down.
4. Extend both arms. Point the arms toward the target line.
5. Keeping both hands on the club, take your normal swinging motion.
6. Hold this position at the top of the backswing for five (5) seconds.
7. Repeat this procedure five (5) times.
If you practice this backswing drill for at least a week, you will gain substantial distance. Continue to do this drill as part of your normal practice routine and you solidify your backswing motion. This will lead to a more consistent and repeatable golf swing.
