Want More DISTANCE? This SECRET Move Is Why Golf PROS Hit It FAR!
PGA Teaching Pro Bob Menzies explains how to generate effortless golf swing distance and crisp ball compression by improving lower body rotation. By using the swing thought of hitting the golf ball with the trail knee, players can shift weight off the back foot and clear their hips through impact. Menzies also demonstrates impact bag drills and ball-throwing techniques to simplify downswing motion naturally.
Simplify your thoughts over the ball to a single cue, such as 'knee,' to avoid mental overload during a 2-second swing.
Feel your trail knee move inward and down toward the ball and target during the downswing to trigger hip rotation and weight shift.
Practice hitting an impact bag positioned off your lead heel at 50% speed to feel solid compression without ground contact.
Throw a golf ball toward your target to instantly trigger proper lower body unwinding and athletic rotation.
