Jessica Korda on Hitting It Long

Here's a link to a Golf Digest article by Jessica Korda on how to get more distance by using your flexibility and rhythm. She has a number of thoughts and drills on how to do it, but I'm focusing on one in particular. Check out the photo:

What is Jessica doing? She's finding the balance point for her driver at the top of her backswing. She wants the club to feel very light so she can stay relaxed, so she swings the club up to the top with only three fingers.

This is clearly a relative thing. The club is going to feel heavier when you hold it with only three fingers than when you hold it with both hands. But what you're looking for is where the club is easiest to control.

Take notice of Jessica's club function in the picture -- although you've got been told to get the shaft to parallel, it is not parallel in this photo. And the article additionally has a image of Jess at the top of her backswing. While the shaft is decrease than in the above photo, it nonetheless isn't always quite parallel. You want to discover a position in which you could control the club with the least tension.

As I've said time and again in this weblog, comfortable muscle tissues circulate faster. That's what you are after with this drill -- the most comfortable position on the pinnacle that you could find.

She has different tips within the article as nicely, however this drill surely stuck my eye. It will help you grow to be more privy to the texture of the clubhead at the top, and that's always a very good aspect!
