Add Distance Fast – 2 Simple Golf Drills!

Golf performance coach Justin Langhill demonstrates two essential drills to increase swing distance by improving ground force and weight transfer. By focusing on the 'Buckle Down' movement and maintaining glute contact against a wall, golfers can eliminate early extension and harness more power from their lower body.

• Power is generated from the ground; losing connection with the turf leads to 'spinning out' and loss of force.
• The transition and weight shift (the 'buckle down') are more critical for distance than the aesthetics of the backswing.
• Keeping the chest down through impact prevents early extension, a common fault that saps power and consistency.
• Physical limitations like tight QL or lat muscles often prevent golfers from reaching the correct impact positions.
• Integrate fitness-first solutions to address the root causes of swing faults rather than just treating the symptoms.
