Controlling the Club Face – No More Pull Hooks
Looking at your right hand and how you use it to keep the club face square through impact will help you hit the ball straight constantly. In your backswing, the club face should be parallel to your spine angle, and at a 90 degree angle to your swing arc. This is not “closed” or “shut.”
The club face shouldn’t twist. This is where people get into trouble hitting pull hooks.
Hit your driver further no matter your age or ability. Everyone would like to hit their driver further, generate more swing speed and acceleration through impact.
However, not everyone can turn their hips like Justin Thomas or make a massive turn in their golf swing like Dustin Johnson. The question is are there any other factors that the average golfer could work on to hit longer straighter drives.
The answer of course is yes and I reveal them all in this golf instruction video.
In this video you’ll find out where the power comes from in your golf swing. This is not like other golf tips that have you working on holding your lag angle or swinging as hard as you can as you’re driving the ball.
This swing tip explains that the power isn’t solely coming from the hands and arms. You have to also learn how to your body to power your swing. Once you do you will see that the combination of the whipping action from your hands and arms connected with the rotational speed of the body can produce shots with more power than you can imagine.
I know there are people out there who think don’t need your legs in your golf swing. In some instruction they try to prove their point by getting down on their knees and hitting a ball. In these golf tips they explain that they can hit great shots without using the lower body. This is true. You can hit good shots off your knees but you can hit better shots if you use your legs.
Although the hands and arms are responsible for creating the whipping action of the club, they have to be connected to something. This something is your body that is turning. Don’t believe me? Try hitting a ball without turning your shoulders. If you did you couldn’t hit it anywhere. So we have to turn our shoulders in the golf swing. If this is the case we should be trying to turn the shoulders as fast as we can. This is done by using your legs.
Follow along as Lawrie Montague runs you through a golf swing release drill that will allow you to sense how the lead arm should move into and through the golf ball.
If done correctly this can help with club face control, club face stability as well as adding speed to the club.
Even without hand manipulation, the club will always swing in line with the lead arm, moving more quickly as the arm speed slows. This transfers momentum to your clubhead through release.
Golf Transition: The Proper Way To Use Your Hips in The Downswing
In this tip I talk about the first 45 degrees in the transition. This is something no one talks about but get this wrong and you will not generate the power you need in your swing.
So what are you thinking about at the very top? Shift? Bump? If so, you are really missing out. Think about it, if you are thinking shift or bump aren’t you thinking laterally? If so, where is the rotation going to come from? Don’t you have to turn to get power? You sure do.
So if you are someone who is thinking shift or bump your hips this hip tip is for you. Watch it and understand it, then try it. If so, you will hit the ball longer than you ever have because you will finally be firing the hips like a pro.
