Most of us know that ideally we need to:1) Swing as quickly as we can2) Strike the ball from the middle of the club-face3) Hit up on the golf ball to reduce backspin4) Swing to the right through impact (left for a left-handed golfer)Golfers don’t realise that by hitting up on the ball through impact many golfers add extra loft which in turn creates more impact. To try and reduce this ideally we want to feel as though we take loft off the driver by keeping the hands ahead of the club-head at impact while still hitting up on the ball. The less loft at impact with the above launch characteristics will transfer greater energy from club-head to ball, increasing ball speed and so longer drives.It takes some practice but when you feel comfortable with it you can take it to the course.
