Still swinging out of your shoes and finding the trees? 😅 Let's fix that.
🏌️♂️ WEEKLY COACHING TIP: More distance AND more fairways
Most golfers think power comes from swinging harder. It doesn't. It comes from swinging better. Here are three things we work on with almost every player on the lesson tee:
1️⃣ Tee it higher than you think
Half the ball above the crown of your driver. This encourages a slight upward strike, which launches the ball higher with less spin. Same swing speed, more carry. Free yards, honestly.
2️⃣ Widen your stance and add a little tilt
Feet just outside shoulder width. Then let your trail shoulder sit slightly lower than your lead shoulder at address. That small tilt sets you up to hit up on the ball instead of chopping down on it.
3️⃣ Swing at 80 percent
This is the one nobody wants to hear. Try a few drives at what feels like 80 percent effort and watch what happens. Better contact off the centre of the face beats a wild lash every single time. Centre strike is the real distance secret. 🎯
📝 Your drill for the week:
Head to the range with 10 balls. Hit all 10 at 80 percent and pick a target line each time. Count how many finish in your imaginary fairway. Do it again next week and beat your score.
Small changes, big difference. Give it a go before your next round and let us know how you get on in the comments 👇
