The 2 Simple Moves That Give You TONS of Effortless Distance!
Golf instructor Steve Pratt shares two classic swing movements inspired by legends like Ben Hogan and Sam Snead to create effortless clubhead speed. He explains how adding a forward press and a center-driven 'A-position' takeaway smooths out the swing using a rhythmic waltz tempo.
Initiate your swing with a subtle forward press ('and' count) by bumping the lead hip, kicking the trail knee inward, and setting lead wrist flat to overcome static inertia smoothly.
Start the backswing ('one' count) using a lower-body pivot rather than lifting the arms or hinging the wrists early.
Use a waltz timing pattern ('and, one, two, three / one, two, three') to maintain fluid swing speed and swing on a consistent plane.
Allow the trail hip to load up and high over the trail heel during the backswing to establish correct shoulder plane.
