 Many amateur golfers sacrifice power and distance because they become
infatuated with swinging at the ball—not through it. They’re so
intently focused on making solid contact that they become fixated with
the point of impact. |

 In the boxing world, the fighter who can connect his rights has a good
shot of knocking out his opponent. In golf, the same holds true, but
instead of crosses and uppercuts, you need to connect your right hip
and shoulder, a move that augments your balance, puts greater power
into your swing and otherwise facilitates a pure, on-plane motion. |

 Here’s a drill that transforms golfers into more consistent
ballstrikers and longer hitters. The most remarkable aspect of this
drill is that it doesn’t involve swinging a golf club at all, but I
feel strongly it best teaches the athletic movements involved with
swinging a club. |

 One of the main reasons why recreational golfers can’t generate the
power they’d like to is that they never fully get the club in their
hands on-plane, especially the longer irons and, to an even greater
extent, the driver. What recreational golfers need to understand is
that the plane on which the club should travel changes from club to
club—it’s a path dictated by the lie angle of the iron or wood you wish
to swing. As the lie angle decreases from the short irons to the
driver, the desired swing plane becomes flatter. |

 Every golfer will experience periods of inconsistent ballstriking, low confidence and a general sensation of swinging out of sync. For these times, I offer a quick fix: Quiet your lower body, and concentrate on swinging the golf club with only your hands and arms. |

 A major fault of both accomplished and recreational golfers alike is
taking the club too far inside on the backswing. This inside position
generally leads to the club getting stuck behind the right hip (for
right-handed golfers) on the downswing, preventing the desired,
down-the-line release. Getting stuck too far inside creates a number of
problems, the most serious of which is a compensatory flipping of the
hands at impact, a move that creates nothing but glancing blows and
non-compressed golf shots. |
