Every golfer wants to hit the ball further. Well maybe not John Daly who would probably choose straighter. Hitting the ball further is a function of three factors: having a biomechanically sound swing, having at least an average amount of strength and flexibility and using a driver that is properly fit for your golf swing.
Let's start with the golf swing. Actually, let's start before the golf swing. What we do before we swing is 85% of golf. By that I mean how we grip the club, our posture, our alignment and our ball position. To mazimize clubhead speed we should grip the club primarily in the fingers to develop as much wrist hinge as possible. The "Vs" formed by the thumbs and forefingers on each hand should be parallel to each other and point somewhere between the chin and the right shoulder. Everyone of structured differently so the golfer should experiement with this to determine which hand placement enables the clubface to return to a square position at impact.
In my next blog I will talk about posture.
