Golf Swing Tip To Boost Your Distance

December 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Golf

During the golf round when your golfing game isn’t up to par have you heard this before “you are swinging too fast you need to slow down”. I know even today I hear this and it is usually given by a player whose game is worse than mine. I am not really sure about you but I definitely have a tough time taking unsolicited advice from a golfer with a lower skill level than myself.

Almost every golf player should never listen to that little recommendation regarding slowing down. Many of them swing the club too slow already. Today we will look at how to speed up your club head speed.

Perform this simple golf swing drill to improve your club head speed. First turn a golf club upside down. Grip the club just below the club head. Swing the club and at the bottom of the forward swing, where the ball sits at address, you should hear a whooshing sound. The whooshing sound is an indicator for the amount of speed you have generated. The louder the whoosh the faster the club head is traveling. Begin slow and increase the speed and swing to where the whoosh becomes the loudest and you’re able to still stay in balance.

Where you hear the whoosh in your swing is extremely telling. The whoosh ought to be the loudest because the club is going through the impact region. For a lot of golfers this is not the case. They will hear the whoosh loudest before the handle gets to impact. What does this tell us? This means that you have released the club too soon and the club is beginning to decelerate as it approaches impact. Resulting in a loss of power.

Try and picture a child on a swing in a playground. The kid swings in a pendulum movement beginning with a small to and from movement and eventually swinging higher and faster. Where is the child moving the fastest? At the top? Halfway down? Or at the bottom? At the bottom of course. Even if they rely on gravity alone the fastest part of the swing is at the bottom.

The benefit of this exercise in order to enhance your club head speed. Speed is one of the five “laws” that determine your ball flight. Increase your speed and you can increase your distance.
