Golf Tip - Grip it loose to hit it long!
GRIP - The number one ridiculously simple tip for hitting longer drives! The grip for power driving is actually different from your other clubs, just as the grip for your putter is different from your irons. To hit it long - use a strong grip position and light grip pressure. 1) Position - When driving adjust your hands to a strong grip position. A weak grip position is fine for finesse with shorter clubs but not for power driving. To have a strong driving grip position, point both Vs formed by your hands towards the right shoulder. 2) Grip Pressure - Most amateur players tend to grip the club very tightly, which diminishes your 'feel' for the club head. It is very easy, when going for more distance to grip the club tightly. But actually this is the exact opposite of what we need to do. Tightening the grip creates tension throughout your body, slowing muscles and reducing club head speed. It can also cause you to snatch the club back and snap through your swing. 3) Why it works - Gripping the club looser allows you to generate more club head speed and lag. Lag is a term used to refer to angle between the club and your left arm. The smaller this angle, the more energy you release at impact. 4) How to do it - To achieve effortless power, you need to make a conscious effort to grip the club lightly. Think in terms of gripping a tube of toothpaste with the cap off. Grip it tight enough to hold it firm but not squeeze out any toothpaste. Now with that thought in mind, take one or two full practice swings concentrating on nothing but maintaining a 'light grip' throughout. Now you are ready to hit the ball.
