Discover The Secrets Of Huge Drives
From The World Long Drive Champion
Are you fed up of playing your second shot from the rough 240 yards from the tee box? How is it possible that the professionals hit the ball so far? From Eric Jones, the World's Longest Drive Champion and the author of The Five Keys To Distance, comes a guide that takes an in depth look at why 90% of golfers are leaving 50 yards or more in the bag. Nail 300 yard drives every time you take the driver out of the bag. Discover how Eric Jones adds at least 20 yards to every one of his golfing students.
I've been playing golf for over 15 years so it's fair to say that I'm one of these golf fanatics. One thing I'm always interested in doing is increasing the distance that I drive the ball - there's nothing quite like the feeling of booming a 300 yard drive past everyone else's ball down the centre of the fairway!
Over the last couple of months I've been seriously looking at ways in which I can improve the length of my drive to try and cut those long par 4 and par 5 holes down to size. In just 4 weeks, I managed to add approximately 30 yards to my drive on average simply by learning from Eric Jones, the 2003 Long Drive champion and author of The Five Keys To Distance.
Here's three great tips that adds distance to your drives:
1. The Happy Toes Drill
This drill has pretty much transformed my golf swing to make it much more consistent and powerful. When I go for a round of golf I can now see how many people are making this very mistake. I bought a few large bucket of balls down the range and practiced "the happy toes drill" - it now comes as second nature. Here's what you have to do:
2. The Tee Back Drill
Here's another great tip that helped me to get an extra few yards simply by getting as much distance between myself and the club. When you take the club back, try and imagine that you're extending it back as far as possible. Not only does this increase the distance of your club from your body but it also encourages your left shoulder to turn under your chin (or your right shoulder if you're left handed) for maximum rotation. And we all know that the power comes from the rotation. Here's a demonstration:
3. Don't Choke The Club
This is so simple that I can't believe I overlooked it. Simply put - if you're gripping the club too tightly then you are sapping distance from your game. It sounds obvious, but you'll be astounded how much more powerful your swing is with a proper release - you can even feel the difference.
