Effortless Power Golf Swing

A power golf swing is the dream of every golfer. How many times have you hit one just perfect and tried desperately to remember what you did that caused this to happen?

A power golf swing is not about swinging hard.

Tip: Even if you're in a rush to start playing, practice by hitting a few balls first before taking your first shot. By adopting this strategy, you can get warmed-up and dialed-in before beginning the front-nine.

So many times a golfer will try to “put a little more into it” to get a few extra yards. If you’ve tried this…what happened? Did you get those extra yards or did it go shorter and even offline?

That’s the point I’m trying to make!

Tip: A round of golf can take over four hours, so it is advisable you bring along a snack, preferably something that is high in protein, such as nuts. Golf can make one both mentally and physically tired.

To hit a LONG drive or add yards to every club in your bag…you need to be able to generate more clubhead speed, but under control. That’s where most golfers lose it.

Tip: Prior to any golf shot, always check for the proper stance. Your position is usually an indicator of where the ball will go.

If your body can’t physically make an optimum swing, from a mechanical standpoint, you have no business trying to swing any harder. The result will be a blown up score and drives that go significantly shorter…not longer.

The beauty of getting your body in better ‘golf shape’ is that you can hit the ball with more force…but with much less effort.

Let me explain.

Tip: During a tournament, take a few moments to get familiar with your fellow players. Keep in mind you want to prepare yourself for around four or more hours with a group while you golf, This is why it is such a social game.

If you’ve improved your core strength and flexibility for example, you will be able to make a FULL shoulder turn (backswing) with minimal tension. This backswing has now a ton of torque built up. With your newfound strength and flexibility…you will be able to ‘unleash’ that torque, powerfully into the golf ball.

Doesn’t that make sense?

Tip: You do not only have to use a graphite golf club for a driver. Take a look at the golf clubs in a sports store.

Now imagine if you improved your overall body specific to golf. Now you’ve got a power golf swing that is under control and killing it off the tee! Your playing partners won’t know what hit them.

So the key to remember in an effortless power golf swing is improving your bodies ability to rotate and store energy…then ‘unleash it’ into the ball at impact.

Tip: For best results, ensure that the club is parallel to the ball when you hit it. The makes it much more likely the shot will fly straight.

If you are lacking distance and feel like you’re trying to swing harder, this is the reason why. A fit golfer has a HUGE advantage over an out-of-shape one.

Follow this advice and you’re on your way to an effortless power golf swing!
