subject: Golf Distance - How It Is Achieved [print this page] There are people who say that putting is the only thing to worry about in golf. Driving off the tee is something that is there for the cameras, and that's it. This couldn't be further from the truth! You can not play this game effectively if you do not drive the ball off the tee.
Golfers are always looking for golf distance tips from anyone that offers them. If you are out with the guys, you know that golf is bound to come up in the conversation. Have you ever wondered why good golfers seem to swing easy and yet blister the ball 290 down the middle?
Most golfers I know want, at a minimum to get off the tee to at least get them in the game and enjoy their round. However, if you are hitting the worm burner off the tee, chunking one 20 yards or hit that shanker off the hosel, you know how not getting off the tee can ruin your round. There has to be some magic potient, right? You ponder whether there is secret handshake or solution that the top golfers know about that they don't share with anyone not in the club. Let me tell you my friends, there is no secret handshake. There is no secret move. A new tech driver or revolutionary irons are going to fix an awful swing. The secret to a better golf swing lies with a balanced repeatable swing achieved through practice.
The answer is to take off from the ground. You have to take one step at a time. The grip is the starting point and then you work your way through to your stance and then the swing. I tried all the quick fixes and changing drivers and reading golf digest for other golf distance tips and new putting secrets. I did have one secret weapon to help me from the ground up: Eric Jones' 5 Keys to Golf Distance.
This program was the only one that made sense to me as far as the teaching of the proper plane and balance, which to me was the key. The key to the system is based on achieveing balance and utilizeing leverage to find untapped power. Once you join the program, you feel part of the community of other like-minded golfer looking to improve.
