More Distance off the Tee - The Truth!
To help generate additional club head speed and greater
distance, the key is to retain your release angle. The release
angle is the angle created by your left arm and the shaft on the
downswing (lag). Put simply, the more acute this angle is and
the longer it is maintained into impact, the further the golf
ball will travel.
The preconception that great strength and power is needed to hit
the ball a long distance is not accurate. Technique is far more
important, by creating a holding this angle a player is capable
of a lot of club head speed. The reason most beginner golfer's
lack distance, is because they lack this move. They tend to lose
their release angle early on the downswing, and effectively
expend all the power they created early. The timing of the
transition of power gets knocked off course, causing missed
shots.
Any player with reasonable mobility and strength can hit the
ball further. The key is in proper swing mechanics. By
maintaining your wrists release on the downswing, and naturally
expending this power into impact, you will see a vast
improvement in your distance throughout your game.
