Strategies that Will Allow You to Hit a Golf Ball Further

2016/7/19 14:22:40

Let's face it! There are not many golfers playing the game that won't want just a little extra length with their golf shots. It doesn't t matter how far golfers hit it, we want to hit it a bit farther. Even though I believe that golf course management decisions along with a great short game tend to be more essential than length for the average golfer and distance is glorified, if I learned how to get an additional 20 yards on my drives I'd be all in.

For most of us hitting the shot slightly farther is well within our capabilities, which includes a couple of caveats. First, getting any shot farther makes it worthwhile provided that we sustain consistency. Only swinging harder towards the ball may get a bit more yardage, but still playing golf is related to maintaining control over your golf ball. Next, it's going to require some work. Therefore here include the things which we could do.

1. Enhance your overall flexibility. As we age people normally lose some of this suppleness, so this means players fail to get the appropriate shoulder turn in their back swing. This means they attempt to generate more club velocity using hands and arms. Spending some time in the fitness center to become suppler, both in the upper body along with the core region will naturally increase yardage. Merely by improving shoulder turn by 10° to 15° might add those 20 yards, given nothing else changes.

2. Swinging your golf club aided by the hips. Generating club speed is in reality not about power, but about torque. This means the swing needs to begin aided by the hips, which is able to generate the required centrifugal force for the club head to increase in velocity. The single thing that is important when trying to add more yardage with a shot is the velocity of the club at impact. You will generate some velocity with the hands, though a great deal more using the core.

If you watch some pitcher throw a baseball he generates velocity on the ball using his legs along with hips. If he attempts to just muscle a ball towards the plate most of the speed on the ball will be lost. A similar principle is applicable in the golf swing. All the big muscles from the core area generate velocity, and then allow the hands and arms to give direction to the ball.

You can now probably see flexibility as more important than muscular potency. By combining good suppleness with effective timing in the golf swing and just about anyone should be able to add a few yards to the shots without compromising ball control.
