Fixing Your Swing: How to Get More Impact With a Power Drive

If you are having an off day on the green or are trying to focus your swing on getting more power behind the ball, then this article is just perfect for you. There are specific techniques that help you to drive your ball further and onto the green. Knowing the different elements involved in the overall movement of your golf swing can help you to practice driving your ball further and closer to the target.

The setup is one of the most important aspects to look into while planning a power drive. You want to make sure that you are able to hit your ball with the maximum power through your preparation. One of the common tactics that are used to hit harder is to aim your swing to hit the ball directly or slightly up from the driver. If you are having problems with this, then you should consider where you are standing. Typically, positioning your ball by your left heel will give you a better setup, combined with a wide stance that can easily help you to gain power, maneuver and tilt your upper body behind the ball.

Once you have your stance and your positioning set, then you want to prepare your swing. When you move back in the swing, you want to concentrate on how you are going to hit the ball from the top of the swing. One of the key ways to make sure that you are able to hit your ball correctly is to shift your weight to the back foot and to tilt your body toward the top of the swing. This will give you more power when you come down to hit the ball.

As you move into the downswing and the release, the shift of weight becomes the most important part of keeping your power in place. Your weight should shift to the front foot as you gain momentum through the downswing. When moving through this position, you want to make sure that your wrist and elbow don’t unhinge too early as this is where most of the power for the swing will come from. As soon as you move to the release, you can unhinge your elbow and wrist to drive the power to be in line with the driver.

By concentrating on the weight, movement and power of your position, you can move toward more powerful driving while on the course. The specific positions that you should begin to look into should include continuous practice of the setup, top of the swing, back swing and release. The more you are able to position and shift weight correctly, the more likely you will be able to get the momentum you need for a stronger drive.
