In this lesson, Danny Maude explains why many golfers lose power by swinging too long and out of control. He demonstrates the 'Tommy Fleetwood' drill, which uses a short follow-through to force the body to brace correctly and deliver a more powerful, efficient impact. Danny shows how this technique applies to both irons and the driver, resulting in effortless distance and significantly better consistency.
A longer swing often leads to a loss of control and energy leak if the body cannot stabilize the club's force.
True power comes from a 'braking system' in the body, specifically using the lead leg to stabilize the swing at impact.
The 'Short Follow-Through' drill trains you to hit the ball before the club reaches its lowest point, ensuring cleaner strikes.
By limiting the follow-through, you force your body to work harder to stabilize the club, which actually increases energy transfer to the ball.
This 'punch' sensation works effectively for drivers, helping to eliminate slices and maintain clubhead speed without the 'floaty' feel.
