Golf Magazine has a really neat tip in the April issue but I have been unable to find it on the website. Therefore I have no link for you. You'll just have to settle for my version of it.
Here's a photo of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky from his page at Wikipedia. See that cut up grip he makes use of on his hockey stick? (You righthanders simply reverse the fingers.) This is the important thing to this tip.
Let's say you've hit your ball into a few trouble and you've got a restrained backswing. Maybe a tree department is within the manner, or a few other shape of flowers, or an immovable obstruction like an OB fence. The great you may do together with your normal stroke is knock the ball some toes... And that is no longer enough.
Try this hockey-style split grip. Obviously you won't split your palms as extensive as Wayne holds his hockey stick, but you may split them to the ends of the grip. You open your stance and pass the ball again to the middle of your stance, and your shoulders may be tilted a lot more than regular due to the fact your trailing hand is decrease on the membership. Then you simply cock your wrists quickly and make a "slap shot" along with your club.
This will take a bit of practice, however you just attention on truely the usage of your trailing hand at the same time as your lead hand keeps the club constant or maybe movements slightly backward. You can create quite a few velocity this way, so one can assist you get more distance from that restrained backswing.
One caveat: Golf Magazine says you don't want to use this tip on a full swing.
