What Swing Adjustments Should I Make To Find Ten More Yards With My Golf Drives (Video) - by Peter Finch

What swing adjustment should I make to find 10 more yards with my golf drives? Now, if you've got a swing which you’re happy with, which is repeatable, there are a couple of ways you could just reach eke out a little bit more extra distance. Now, first of all presuming again yore technique is good, there’s no kind of extenuating factors, no massive slides, no massive pulse, there are a few different ways. First of all the ball position, if we can get it positioned just inside the left heel, this is going to enable you to stay behind and really launch that ball off up into the air. You can also strengthen the grip, so you get the left hand a little bit more on top so you can see at least three knuckles. Get the right hand a little bit more underneath so you can only see one knuckle on the right hand. Now, this effectively strengthens the club face at the point of impact, delofting it slightly, but also enabling you to get a little bit more club head speed.

Secondly, thirdly, we can get a little bit more body turn. So really rotate the body away from the ball; get the shoulder turn as big as possible. And on the way through really turn and really rotate the hips as quickly as possible. Now, all these factors are going to increase club head speed. So, we got this set up, we got this slightly stronger grip. We’re going to turn the shoulders as much as possible on the way back and then really rotate the hips towards the target on the way through. And if you can get all those things working together, you’re going to absolutely hammer the ball. However, it comes with a cost. If you increase club head speed and you make these changes to your swing it could also increase the dispersion on your shots. You have to bear in mind you could use this technique and you could hit a fantastic shot. However, you could also use this technique and hit it slightly off line. You need to bear in mind if you want to be 10 yards further, do you want to be 10 yards further into the rough or the semi-rough. Would you rather be slightly further back, but in the fairway? Those are the decisions you have to make, but there are lots of different ways you can increase club head speed, give those few a; go, and see how you get on.
