Monthly Golf Tips by the Mel Sole Golf School.

This month we discuss generating more clubhead speed, particularly for the senior golfers.  It's all about width in the golf swing.  Here is a simple drill to gain more distance! Follow along and get some of that lost yardage back!

Start of the Backswing.

The backswing is started with the chest and NOT with the arms or hands.  An early wrist hinge is a power killer!  Keep the V formed with both arms for as long as possible.  At least past hip height.  This move will increase your shoulder turn significantly.

Great Extension.

On the through swing, again create that V, and make sure there is no breakdown in the lead arm through impact. The wider the follow-through extension, the better.  This will also increase accuracy.  The longer you can keep the clubhead moving through to the hole, the better!

Full Follow-Through.

Finish with a full follow-through!  Make sure the arms have finished over the leas shoulder,  your hips a facing the target, and you can pick up your back foot and not lose your balance!

Practice at Home.

A great practice to increase your width and your clubhead speed is to practice swinging a club at home as many times possible.  Also, increase the speed of your swing each time.  Get faster and faster each day.  You will be amazed at how much more than a fast swing will start feeling comfortable.  When you do go to the range, the swing will feel a lot more comfortable swinging harder!  Shortly after that, you can take your new golf swing with the newly developed power and amaze your friends!
