 When you want to get some extra distance out of your drives, it’s
natural to think that your right or dominant hand (for right-handed
golfers) should supply the power. In reality, however, maximum power is
a result of a left-hand lead. |

 At my power clinics and exhibitions, I often recommend to audiences
that they try to develop the feeling of holding a golf club long enough
at the top of their backswing for someone to hang a shirt on it—the
Clothesline Effect, if you will. |

 Like anyone else, I have days when I’m not hitting the ball as crisply
as I’d like. If I’m blocking my golf shots or hitting weak pushes, I
always go back to basics and make sure I’m releasing the clubhead. Once
I start releasing the clubhead properly again, I’ll regain my
distance—and my accuracy. |

 Golfers often talk about the importance of keeping a straight left arm
during the backswing. Equally important, but seldom discussed, is the
value of keeping the right arm straight during the first two feet of
the takeaway. I see many amateurs bend their right elbow too much at
address—which causes incorrect posture—and fold their right elbow too
quickly as they take the club back. These right elbow flaws create a
lifting action and produce a too-narrow swing arc, robbing players of
their power potential. |

 There’s more than one way to hit the ball long. Just look at the swings
of long hitters like Tiger Woods, John Daly and Fred Couples. Each is
different and each serves its purpose well. However, to hit your
longest, most powerful drives, three elements must be present: You must
fully release the club, swing with an even tempo and remain in balance. |

 One key to hitting more powerful golf shots is keeping your body behind
the ball before impact. A premature lifting of the right foot during
the downswing causes golfers to shift too much of their weight to the
left side, resulting in a loss of power and distance. |

When your driving goes south—or when situations call for something other than the big dog—don't forget your options

 The well-worn cliché “drive for show, putt for dough” is familiar to
most golfers, but heeded by few. Hitting big drives is, in fact, often
the most desirable accomplishment in the game for many recreational
players, most of whom are less concerned with score than the bragging
rights that accompany a long drive. Players who are interested in
shooting good scores, however, know that accurate driving, or
strategically positioning the ball off the tee, is a critical part of
playing solid golf, and sometimes mandates the use of different clubs. |

 One of the keys to a solid golf swing is a level turn of the shoulders
and hips during the backswing. A solid rotation not only promotes
consistent ballstriking, but lays the foundation for achieving maximum
distance as well. |

 I’m frequently approached at my power clinics and exhibitions by senior
golfers who claim they’ve lost strength and suppleness, which
translates into shorter tee shots. My advice to them for regaining lost
distance is simple and direct: pre-load your power. By that I mean
seniors should make a few swing adjustments to compensate for advancing
age and a diminished ability to turn their shoulders and torque their
torso. |
