To strike the ball well, without a glancing blow, requires your hands, arms, shoulders and legs working together through impact. Here's a practice drill that will give you the feel as opposed to merely explaining the theory of what happens.
Using a 7-iron, take up your stance over the ball making sure you have a target in mind. Then, without any back swing at all, swing the club straight through to the finish position.
If you managed to come through correctly, the ball would have been slung away 20 yards or so. But if you have moved your hands excessively, the mizuno mx 560 driver would have simply slipped off the face and not travelled anywhere - effectively a glancing blow.
This driver features a unique H.E.M.I geometric head shape that delivers maximum heel/toe and up/down MOI (moment of inertia) for extreme forgiveness, while maintaining a low spin rate and high launch angle for ideal trajectoy.. A CNC-milled, plasma-welded Cortech design utilizes multiple face thicknesses for extreme distance. The maximum allowable USGA 460cc volume is delivered in a unbelievably large head shape for a "can't miss" driving attitude and a solid, explosive, and powerful sound that announces your presence with authority.
This exercise is rather like a hockey player taking a penalty. If the technique is good the ball will almost glue itself to the club head as you sling it forward with no backswing. This promotes square contact and maximum compression of the ball.
Even out on the course, if you want to make sure you are getting through the shot correctly, find a piece of rough, ground the club behind it, then without a back swing, swing through to a full finish.
