Golf Driver Swing and the Thrill of Effortless Power

The golf driver swing is the most powerful and (for most of us) exciting aspect of the game of golf. It can have the grace of an exquisite dance move or the violence of a train wreck, and sometimes even both within a single swing.

We love to watch it and experience it. Anyone who has felt the effortless power of a flushed drive has no doubt launched themselves on a quest to learn how to do it every time. But why is it so elusive? What are we missing?

Golf Driver Swing Secret: Swing Faster not Harder

Golf Swing Speed

Most of us prepare for a long drive by tensing our arms and legs, consciously or otherwise. Tense muscles are slow and rigid and do not allow for the athletic balance and weight shift of the graceful power swings we see on TV. Nor do tense muscles allow for the smooth hinging at the joints that allow for the creation of leverage and the explosive release of stored power.

So what are the keys to swinging faster? And who can teach me without destroying the swing I already have?

Golf Driver Swing is a B.L.A.S.T.

The Five Keys To Distance

The Five Keys To Distance can be summarized by the acronym B.L.A.S.T.:

B = Balance
L = Leverage
A = Arc of Your Swing
S = Speed of Your Hips
T = Target Extension

These are the keys that will help you learn to swing in rhythm, achieve maximum swing speed and square contact.

The Five Keys to Distance includes a comprehensive set of drills that allow the golfer to become aware of the tension in their swing, what a balanced swing feels like, and how to lead with the lower body on the downswing.

Once these skills are mastered the remaining drills show how to ramp up the swing speed through maximizing arc, downswing hip speed, and lag.

Learning the Mental Keys to Distance for the Golf Driver Swing

Intelligent and EFFECTIVE practice

Brains generally help in golf but they can also have a tendency to get in the way. EFFECTIVE practice is practice that simplifies a concept and shows the body how to feel the correct moves in the swing.

Eric Jones is a sports psychologist and shares the best way to train the mind and the body on the driving range. "Random Block Practice" gives the best results in terms of feeling the swing in a way that can be repeated, can be taken to the course, and helping to build the "inner confidence" that breeds success.
