Last month I gave you a tip that would help create patience at the top of your swing. This will make the transition area very smooth and consistent. I hope that you put that tip into your practice routine.

This month I want to give you an exercise that will create extension through the hitting area. Follow the instructions carefully and you will see a fantastic increase in club head speed. That increase in speed will result in an increase in distance.

1. Take your normal address position with your driver.
2. Slide your left foot towards your right foot, stopping when the toe of your left foot is adjacent to the back of the ball.
3. Slide your right foot to the right, therefore taking your normal stance width again. The ball is now five or six inches forward of normal.
4. Now watch the ball and take your normal swing and hit the ball.

This drill maximizes your extension through the ball resulting in an increase in distance and quite possibly ending your days as a slicer! Good luck!
