Distance Tip

You may find this interesting, especially if you've heard, "Stay down", "Keep your head down", etc. your whole life.

To hit the ball longer off the tee make sure your head stays UP!

Huh?

Relax, I'm not saying look up or lift your head up. I am saying that in order to get your maximum distance the length of your lever (arm and club) must be swinging at its longest and to do that your posture/spine angle must stay up at its original height or even slightly higher. Many people "duck" into the ball and tighten their arms dramatically (which shortens them) in an attempt to hit the ball hard.

If you make sure your posture stays up and your arc stays wide, allowing your clubhead to "swing" and accelerate, you'll hit it farther. Sadly, most golfers TRY so hard to hit the ball hard that they rarely, if ever, get the sensation of actually allowing the clubhead to swing. So they're stuck with one type of "hacking" or another, and therefore less distance.

All the things you can do to get more distance are covered in detail in my book "Hitting it Longer."
