Vijay Singh Pro Golfer Great extension through shot, Golf (Video) - by Pete Styles

If you could copy any PGA Tour players work ethic, I would suggest you copy Vijay Singh. You might not have 8 hours a day to spend on the driving range hitting golf balls, but the way Vijay practices is certainly a lesson to all of us that repetition of golf balls will certainly produce good in grain solid results.

Vijay is really a big guy. Similar height to me, 6 foot 3. Very long rangy arms and he certainly utilizes those arms to produce a very solid and powerful golf swing. So much so that through the golf ball at the extension he has through the target area here. He almost lets go of the golf club completely with his right hand ‘cause he’s so keen to get at right hand away from his body. Viewed from this side on, the right hand almost comes completely off the grip and he just does hanging onto it with a couple of fingers as he comes through.

You don’t really see it full speed but whenever they slow it down on the TV, you can actually see how that right hand almost backed off the club completely and there’s big gap underneath his right from his four finger.

So Vijay is very big and long in the arms really wide turn on the way back massive lag and really extending on the way through, and it’s that element of the swing that extension on the way through, but if you’re not hitting the ball as far as you think you should. My scenario that you could sort of work on and copy to generate maximum power.

A great exercise for that would be to take a tee peg or a bladed grass or piece of fluff and put it about 8 inches in front of the golf ball and just focus on as you hit the golf ball staying down through the impact area. So you don’t feel like you’re hitting the ball necessarily but you feel like you’re hitting the piece of fluff and you extend your hands and arms through that area reaching out as you extend and by focusing beyond the golf ball, it takes the input as of hitting the ball and stopping and pulling your arms back in. It helps you utilize that extension feeling and hit right away through. You stay down a bit longer, you extend a bit more, you improve your accuracy and your consistency and you look a little bit more like Vijay Singh in the process.
