Increase Distance and Accuracy in Your Golf Swing

Here is a something that you can do as a drill to get the feeling of the power sources.

Take a wedge, get a really good grip. This is not the one you normally use, at least I don't think it is based on what I generally see. Try it this way. Thumb on the side of the shaft, absolutely not on the top of the shaft. Right hand more on the side of the shaft and its thumb is on the side not on top, if you put your hands together as if you were praying. That is together with the thumbs facing your nose, the knuckles of the thumb. The hands are palm to palm. Now turn them to the right together. Turn them until you can see two knuckles of your left hand.

This is approximately the grip you need on the cheap golf clubs. OK, now back to the wedge. With this grip, without moving bend your right wrist back toward your right forearm. Do not cock you wrist toward you. It is just a bend toward your right forearm. If you now take this to the top of your swing, you should be in the "trayed position"

If you aren't you need to start over. Try it again.

Back to the beginning. Get a good grip. In you setup position, now bend your right wrist back toward you right forearm. Take this position into a backswing that puts the cheap golf clubs in a half swing position. You absolutely must maintain the angle of your right wrist while doing this. No excuses.

The idea here is to teach the power sources, what they are, and then give you an idea how to create and maintain them. You will be shocked and amazed at how crisply you will hit the ball if you will just learn to do this drill. Now that you are in a half swing position with your wedge, you need to remember that as you move toward the impact position two things must happen.

You will bump you left hip toward the target, at the exact same time you will drop your right elbow toward your right hip. All the while maintaining your right wrist position. Loose this position and the drill is useless.

So, it is bump, a drop and then a hit with cheap golf clubs. Your hands will be slightly ahead of the ball at impact. There is no half measure here. Once again, your hands will be slightly ahead of the ball at impact. Your right wrist position will still be maintained through impact and you will be on your left side because of your weight shift.

Remember this is a drill and so it does not have to happen lightning quick. Bump and drop. This can be a drill of its own... try it. Once you learn to create and maintain the angles and get a weight shift you will become a player. There is no doubt about it.

A magical move or two will transform most players into a force to be reckoned with. Maybe you’re one of them.
