golf tipTo hit longer golf drives you must make a
full shoulder turn in your backswing. But...a full shoulder turn might not be as hard as you think, but you've got to do it a certain way to achieve it. What's becoming more prevalent on tour is golfers not getting their clubs parallel at the top of their backswing.
Look at guys like Zac Johnson. He is a long hitter of the ball, but does not even get close to parallel even with his driver. He is very accurate, and does not mi#@!$ too many shots during his rounds.
So don't try to get your arms so HIGH in your backswing to get to that parallel position. Once you realize you can most definitely achieve a 90 degree shoulder, you'll soon experience the proper height for your hands, and ultimately your club at the top of your backswing.
Do you want to discover the secret to creating more power
andconsistency in your golf swing... AND eliminating ALL your swing
faults?

longer drivesPower in golf is one of the most desirable attributes any golfer dreams of. Just tell me what's talked about more after the round the birdie or the LONG DRIVE? I can tell you the majority of the time it's the LONG DRIVE.
Why is that? We all know that you gotta get the ball "in the hole" to shoot a lower score, and yet 90+% of all golfers want more distance. It's like football. The fans want to see the LONG pass that goes for a touchdown, not the short passes that chew up a defense. Same with baseball. Fans want to see the home run, not the base hit or sacrifice fly that scored a run.
If you're in agreement with me, it's time for me to give you a power golf tip you can "take to the course" and see improvement right away.
To hit your longest drives, I want you to have your ball placement forward off the inside heel of the lead leg. This will allow you to aggressively rotate through the ball, but staying behind it to apply a powerful blow with all your bodyweight, momentum, and speed.
Now the power golf tip!
I want you to aggressive rotate your left shoulder "out of the way" at, through, and beyond impact. Get it out of the way, as fast as you can, which will clear the way for maximum clubhead speed, resulting in longer drives.
You don't want your left or lead shoulder in the way at impact. It needs to rotate FAST just through impact.
If you've been doing your core golf exercises, you'll have a ton of core torque to apply to this aggressive rotation of your left shoulder.
Give it a try.
