Friday, February 16, 2007 Keep It Level 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. |
Monday, June 30, 2008 Lag For PowerThe secret move for more power Casting the club from the top of the swing (arms straightening prematurely) is one of the most common power leaks for the amateur player. This move results from a downswing that’s initiated by the muscles in the arms and upper body, and makes it almost impossible to store energy during the downswing. |
Thursday, July 1, 2004 Lead With The Left Golfers who possess the ability to hammer 300-yard drives like clockwork often talk about the importance of “firing the right side” through impact. That’s all well and good, but it’s also somewhat misleading. The right side doesn’t serve as an initiator in the downswing; it’s a reactor. The right side of the body doesn’t “fire” as such; it responds to a proper sequence of motion initiated by the left side. |
Monday, March 5, 2007 Lead With Your Left 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. |
Friday, March 2, 2007 Lengthen The Right 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. |
Wednesday, November 30, -0001 Mind The GapHow high should you tee it? if you really want to hit longer and straighter drives, you have to remember a couple key variables. |
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Over The TopHow to smother the slice for good With today’s enormous drivers, it has become easier to hit the ball a long way. But if you slice the ball, you’re probably not getting the type of distance you deserve, since sliced shots not only miss the fairway, but also rob you of powerful distance. |
Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Play The Right HandUnderstanding grip pressure Ideally, what you want is to neutralize either your slicing or hooking tendencies by balancing out the pressure in your right hand. |
