Golf Drills To Use The Ground To Increase Power

One way to hit longer golf drives is to stop swaying in your backswing as this inhibits your ability to rotate and load your right glute correctly. Swaying also leads to timing issues, as you have to get back to the ball from the place you’ve moved to. In the video below, PGA pro Dan Whittaker shares his simple advice that will get you using the ground better.

One great visualisation is to turn your hips like you are stood in a barrel to stop unwanted lateral movement. Feeling as though you’re weight is loading into your right thigh and heel in the backswing is another great swing thought.
