Mastering the Golf Swing: A Three-Part Drill for Longer and Straighter Drives

🏌️‍♂️To hit longer and straighter drives, focus on getting the club head to approach the ball from low and inside to hit the center of the face.

🔄Practice natural arm rotation to allow the club face to naturally rotate and rehinge, resulting in a square club face at impact.

😊Maintain a relaxed and tension-free swing, letting the arms swing freely through impact while keeping the head back and the shoulder down.

💪Add body motion to the swing by incorporating a gentle turn of the chest and body, maintaining the same principles of arm rotation and head position.

🎯Visualize the club working from inside and launching slightly right of the target line, resulting in longer and more accurate drives.

Why is it important to approach the ball from low and inside for better drives?

—Approaching the ball from low and inside allows for a more centered impact, resulting in a higher launch, increased distance, and improved accuracy.

Will this drill increase my distance off the tee?

—Absolutely! By focusing on the correct fundamentals, such as arm rotation, head position, and body turn, you will generate more club head speed and hit the ball farther off the tee.
