How to swing the club for longer drives golf

Hi 

When most golfers try to hit the ball further they use brute force.  This does not work because the club needs to be swung faster not harder.

And today I have a great drill to "feel" how to swing the clubhead for more speed.

To do this golf drill simply setup to a golf ball and grip the golf club as you normally would. 

 BUT move your grip up the club so that you have the last two fingers of your top hand off the end of the golf grip. Once you have done this then swing with this "new" golf grip.

By doing this it will force you to place a lot less emphasis on your hands and arms as your big muscles will be forced to control the golf swing.


And what you want to feel when doing this golf drill is that the golf ball simply gets in the way of your golf swing.

 You shouldn't force anything, especially with your golf grip. Remember to "swing the golf club" and not "hit the golf ball". The golf ball is hit as the result of you "swinging the golf club"!

So please do this golf drill and you'll get a much better feeling of swinging the golf club rather than hitting the ball.

Don't however expect to hit the golf ball great when doing this golf drill. 

That's not the point of this golf drill. Instead when doing this drill you should be focusing of the feelings that go along with swinging with the different grip. 

Then you can transfer those feelings over to your normal golf swing, which can only help you to hit the ball further.

Finally remember, the golf ball should just get in the way of your golf swing. You should not "try" to hit the golf ball.
