Optimize Your Launch Angle

Maximize Your Driver Distance…

Launch angle isn’t talked about much in golf… However, the right launch angle can add 20+ yards to your drive.

To maximize your driver distance, you have to optimize your launch angle.

If you want to get into the science, it’s called quadratic drag…

All you really need to know is that launching your driver between 15° and 18° will give you the best overall distance.

18° will fly a little farther but won’t roll out much. 15° won’t fly quite as far but will roll out more.

Use a launch monitor to help dial in your driver. Remember every minute on a clock is 6 degrees… so your target range is only half a minute on a clock face.

Stay Centered

Stay Centered for Consistency…

One of the keys to driver distance is keeping your head centered.

If you allow your head to drift, the ball is actually moving forward and back in your stance based on where your head is.

Use a T-Square to practice rotating around the centerline of the T-Square, keeping your head steady and centered as you rotate.

Down First, Then Around

Do This for a More Powerful Club Path…

One of the keys to driver distance is the club path… the path you use to deliver the driver to the ball.

Club path starts with how you begin the downswing.

If you rotate too early, you have no choice but to create an out-to-in path.

If you start your downswing with “Down” first… then rotate, you create a powerful inside-out path for the club to follow.

Watch the video for an easy drill to start creating a more powerful club path.

Stay Connected for Power

Stay Connected for More Power…

If you want a Powerful, Consistent, Easy, Pain-Free golf swing… you have to stay connected.

You can do this drill at the range before a round or even out on the course before a shot.

This drill will help you feel what it means to be connected and learn to stay connected all the way through the end of your swing.

One of the reasons we start to lose distance as we get older is because are hips stall and we start swinging with our arms…

Swinging with your arms takes a considerable amount of effort… and it makes it 10x harder to be consistent.

A Powerful, Consistent, Easy, Pain-Free golf swing starts with staying connected…

Start by rotating from address to the end of the swing (the end of your swing is full extension through the target line.)

Then take half swings, from 90° to 90° where the club is roughly parallel to the ground in your backswing and roughly parallel to the ground at the end of your swing.

Once your comfortable and feel like your arms and hands are in-sync with your body, add a ball.

If you’re on the range, hit at least 10 good connected shots before you move on to lengthening your swing.

Do…

  • Use your body to rotate.
  • Keep your arms in-sync with your body.
  • Keep your arms structured.
  • Keep your head over your centerline.
  • Flare your lead foot to take the pressure off your ankle.

Check Your Swing At Home

Check Your Swing At Home…

If you want a powerful, easy, pain-free golf swing, you have to learn how to swing your hips…

Most people (especially those who took up golf as an adult) swing with their arms.

The arms are only 8% of your body weight… You are only using the muscles in your arm to accelerate the club, while effectively tethering the club to a 150 pound anchor… your body.

When you rotate your hips, the core of your body, to move the club, you are essentially using a 150 pound fly wheel to accelerate the club.

A Body-Driven swing feels easy and is more powerful because it doesn’t require brute strength and stress in your arms…

A Body-Driven swing leverages your body weight for a consistent, powerful, easy swing.

Use this drill to check your own swing and see how your body moves.

Grip It & Rip It

More Distance Without Changing Your Swing…

Add some extra yardage with a stronger grip.

Most people believe a weak grip leaves the face open – causing a slice…

And a strong grip closes the face – causing a hook…

Slices and Hooks are caused by the clubface not your grip… Both a weak and strong grip can be squared at impact. (It actually has more to do with whether your hands and the handle of the club are ahead or behind the ball at impact… but we’ll save that topic for later.)

“Weak” vs “Strong” grip is not named for the clubface, they’re so named for your wrists.

With a little side bend and rotation, a neutral grip promotes passive arms and wrists.

A strong grip is closer to how you would hold a sledge hammer, using the strength of your wrists to push through and release the club.

A strong grip can add a few extra yards… but it does also add another variable.

Use a neutral grip for control. Use a stronger grip for extra distance.

Hit it Straighter

90% of Amateurs Get This Wrong…

Use This Tip to Hit it Straighter… Directly At Your Target.

When you’re firing directly at your target… You’re more likely to miss.

90% of amateur players setup and aim incorrectly on the course.

Golf is a side-on game.

We set up looking at the ball, perpendicular to the target… usually 2-3 feet away from the ball.

You can think of the target line for the ball and the parallel line that you’re standing on like train tracks.

When you look at the target, your eyes are actually crossing the train tracks, from where your body is to where the target is.

This shows up in one of three ways:

  • Casting – When you swing to the ball, you actually throw your hands out toward the ball, causing you to cast the club and most often resulting in a slice.
  • Pushing – When you swing to the target, you are pushing your hands across the line, usually resulting in a push or small slice.
  • Stalling – The super computer that is your brain tells your body to decelerate or stop right around impact because your body is “square” to the target line. This can cause a hook, push or a weak slice.

High level players spend enough time with their clubs that they can essentially feel where the clubhead is at all times.

Amateur players tend to think of their hands instead of the clubhead, because it’s the only part we can feel.

Thinking of your hands is what causes you to push, cast, and stall when swinging to the ball or the target.

Instead of swinging to your target, imagine pushing a train down the train tracks.
