Hitting the Ball Further
Tiger Woods, one of the best golfers in the world, only weighs 180 pounds but he hits the ball 20 yards longer off the tee than the average tour player. If you’re like most golfers, including those who have been playing for quite some time, you’d like to add yards to your tee shots, too.
How does Tiger do it? Watch him and you’ll see the same small, dark grass area next to his hips when he is at the top of his swing and at impact.
Many amateur golfers make the mistake of pushing their hips toward the ball when they make their downswing. Tiger rotates his hips in making his downswing but he doesn’t make the mistake of moving them toward the ball. There’s something else Tiger does that you might want to follow.
When he came for a golf break in europe a few years ago he let us into one of his secrets on the the Chamonix course.
When he begins his downswing, he starts rotating his left forearm. With that action he begins to square the face and gradually release the club head. His swing is already halfway down when the un-cocking of his wrists begins.
That’s it! try it yourself next time you’re on a golfing break in Europe.
