The Secret to Hitting 300+ Yard Drives EFFORTLESSLY!
Steve Pratt breaks down the 'secret' to effortless power by focusing on three keys: extreme arm suppleness, a powerful lateral hip 'engine,' and maximizing wrist range of motion. Through drills like the 'Elephant Trunk' and 'Chair Slide,' golfers can learn to multiply their speed without increasing muscular effort.
Suppleness is the foundation of speed; keep arms and wrists limp enough that they feel like 'elephant trunks.'
The first move of the downswing is a lateral hip slide (5-6 inches) before any rotation occurs.
The 'engine' of the swing involves a lateral shift, followed by rotation and then straightening the lead leg into extension.
Distance is a multiplication problem: combine the pivot, elbow extension, and wrist snap for maximum whip.
Golfers should strive for a feeling of being 'out of control' with the clubhead to achieve true release and speed.
