Golf Tip To Boost Your Drives

Heres A Golf Training Tip To Boost Your

Drives





Every golfer would like to have a golf training tip to increase their drives by 10, 20, 30

or even 40 yards. But what do you need to focus on to accomplish that?



Have you ever received a golf training tip that didnt work? I think we all have. That can

be very frustrating to say the least. But the key to implementing a golf training tip thats

effective is to look at your swing.



Do you lack a full, 90 degree shoulder turn on your backswing? Do you breakdown at

impact where it really counts? Or do you have a hard time staying in your golf posture

through out your swing?



Youve got to take a deeper look at your swing faults AND physical limitations to

determine what golf training tip will be the most effective in improving your driving

distance.



Dont just try any golf training tip your golfing buddies tell you. Give it some serious

thought before you do one of the golf training tips in the magazines. There are hundreds

golf training tips you can read about, but wont work for you.



Have you ever heard of the 62 point check-list?



If you havent, it means instead of having one golf training tip you think about during your

swing, you think of 62 of them. Maybe not that many, but you think of enough to

accomplish what they term paralysis by analysis.



When this happens, your swing will go south real quick. This happened to the Number

One ranked golfer in the world back in the 90s. His name? Nick Faldo. He became so

mechanically he couldnt even hit a ball. He would enter a tournament and take so many

practice swings, and not have one golf training tip on his mind, but many.



It took him right out of the world rankings and ultimately off the tour. He is now

commentating and doing a great job.



Heres a golf training tip that will help your backswing range of motion, enabling you to

have a much higher clubhead speed and quickly improve your driving distance.



I call it the Backswing Shoulder Stretch:



Extend left arm out in front of you (if you are a right handed golfer), in a handshake

position, thumb pointing skyward.

Take right hand and put under left wrist, so the back of the hands are touching each other.

Pull with right hand against left wrist and make as big a turn on back swing as possible.

Hold for at least 15 seconds, repeat two more times.

Reverse the stretch to work the follow through.



As you can see this is a simple golf training tip, but one that is very effective if you do it

consistently. This is a great stretch to do throughout your round to maintain a full

backswing.



This is just one golf training tip that can have a big impact on your performance; and is

well worth trying.
