 Golf Tip of the Fortnight 

Distance Tip

Obviously, hitting the ball long is a function of clubhead speed and square, solid contact. But the square and solid contact has a much bigger impact than the club head speed for most golfers. (Have you ever had the experience of hitting the ball a long way when you swung smoothly and easily? Sure you have; everybody has.)

Plus, how much faster do you think the club really travels when you try to swing hard? The answer is ... not much -- maybe not at all. And the chances of square and solid contact decrease dramatically as the amount of force you try to generate increases.

So, what I'm saying is, focus on square and solid contact with the ball, and swing smoothly and rhythmically. It's a tough lesson to learn -- some people never learn it. Or, perhaps they just like the sensation of exerting themselves more than they like getting results. I suppose that's possible.

The golf swing and hitting it your longest are covered in detail in my books "The Full Swing." and "Hitting it Longer."

And I work with golfers on getting their maximum distance (individually or in small groups of friends, family, co-workers, etc.) in my Private "Long Drive Schools."
