What makes a Power Hitter?

Teeing up the golf ball too low

With the ball teed up too low, the driver, such as the taylormade r9 max driver is not able to sweep the ball away, but tends to force a steeper downward hit. The thought process came from an earlier period in golf, when the sweet spot was low down on the driver head.

The latest drivers have a larger sweet spot, and the sweet spot is higher up the face to give more spring effect. To overcome this problem, tee the golf ball up, with at least half the ball above the top of the driver head.

Stance too narrow

Most average golfers have too narrow a stance when setting up to the ball. This tends to lead to an unstable base, and hence poor balance.

To overcome poor balance, a slightly wider stance is used with your toes slightly splayed out. The lead foot should be splayed out around 30 degrees.

At address the hands tend to be too close to the body.

This tends to give the taylormade golf club a narrow arc.

Really good players when using the driver will reach a little more, producing a much wider arc, dramatically improving their distance.

Swaying during the backswing.

There is a tendency to sway backwards, instead of turning about a pivot point. The weight is too much on the outside of the rear leg.

By all means move your weight to the rear leg, but only onto the inside of the trailing leg. Try turning more than swaying backwards.

Keeping club close to the body on take away.

This definitely loses you power.

Extended your arms away from your body, as if handing the wholesale golf club to someone to your right, whilst still maintaining your balance.

Keeping right elbow too close to your body at the top of your backswing.

A lot of average golfers will keep their right elbow too close to their body at the top of the backswing. There will be a loss of power here.

Ensure your right elbow stays out from your body, which in turn will induce a much wider arc, and hence more power.

Ball position wrong.

There is a tendency to put the ball too far back in their stance.

The golf ball should be roughly opposite the left heel to allow for a nice sweep of the ball by the driver.

These tips will definitely get more power into your golf game.
