Ever feel weak and armsy through impact, like you’re hanging back instead of moving through the ball?
Most golfers try to fix this by swinging harder with their arms and hands. It feels like effort, so it feels like power, but all it actually does is disconnect your arms from your body and rob you of real speed.
Here is what you actually want:
✅ Place the clubhead a couple of feet behind the ball. This gives you room to build the movement before you ever swing at it.
✅ Push down into the ground through your front foot until you feel energy store up. This is where the power actually comes from, not your arms.
✅ Explode up and let your chest and belt buckle point towards the sky. This is what releases the stored energy instead of leaking it into an early arm swing.
Try this drill: set up with the club a couple of feet behind the ball, push down into your front foot until you feel that storing up of energy, then explode up and let your body finish facing the sky.
Do this correctly and you’ll feel poised and powerful through the ball, just like a pro.
